Diagnoses were PJS polyps (n = 8), neuroendocrine tumour (NET) (n = 2), PJS and NET (n = 1), transmural arteriovenous malformation (n = 1), angioectesia (n = 1), inflammatory polyp (n = 1), leiomyoma (n = 1) and Meckel's diverticulum (n = 1). The median (range) procedure time was 147 (84-210) mins. Median (range) length of stay post-procedure was 2 (1-19) days. Three patients developed complications. The 30-day mortality rate was 0%. CONCLUSIONS LA-DBE is a safe, effective and minimally invasive procedure that can be applied for the management of selected patients with small bowel pathology. A SILS approach allows all therapeutic modalities to be available, including conversion to intraoperative enteroscopy (IOE), laparoscopic small bowel resection and laparotomy.BACKGROUND A history of abdominal biliary tract surgery has been identified as a relative contraindication for laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE), and there are very few reports about laparoscopic procedures in patients with a history of abdominal biliary tract surgery. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the clinical outcomes of 227 consecutive patients with previous abdominal biliary tract operations at our institution between December 2013 and June 2019. A total of 110 consecutive patients underwent LCBDE, and 117 consecutive patients underwent open common bile duct exploration (OCBDE). Patient demographics and perioperative variables were compared between the two groups. RESULTS The LCBDE group performed significantly better than the OCBDE group with respect to estimated blood loss [30 (5-700) vs. 50 (10-1800) ml; p = 0.041], remnant common bile duct (CBD) stones (17 vs. 28%; p = 0.050), postoperative hospital stay [7 (3-78) vs. 8.5 (4.5-74) days; p = 0.041], and time to oral intake [2.5 (1opic surgery.BACKGROUND Bleeding control as o
