A pig model for advanced laparoscopic biliary procedures
Abstract
Advanced laparoscopic biliary procedures can be undertaken in a pig model, but the small size of the normal common bile duct makes learning difficult. We have developed a prepared pig model of common bile duct ligation on which to practice advanced laparoscopic biliary surgery.The pig's distal common bile duct was occluded using several different methods via a minilaparotomy. Laparoscopic biliary procedures were undertaken 6–21 days later. The …
