ABSTRACT Objectives To explore a precise control pathway based on patient clinical variations for haemostatic clip usage in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) through on-site research data from a teaching hospital. Specifically, the study aimed to: (1) to calculate the optimal haemostatic clip consumption in LC based on diagnostic grouping and surgical combinations, and (2) to provide evidence for cost containment of high-value medical consumables used in LC. Design Retrospective observational study. Setting Hospital in southwest China. Participants The inclusion criteria were set as inpatients whose medical records included International Classification of Diseases codes 1–3 with code 51.2300 (corresponding to LC surgery) and who were discharged on medical advice. A dataset containing 1001 patients without any haematological diagnoses was collected. Primary and secondary outcome measures Two ordered multinomial logit models were established to identify factors affecting haemostatic clip use in LC. Two-step clustering was used to form subgroups. The premodel included preoperative variables (acute cholecystitis and scarring/fibrotic atrophy), while the full model added intraoperative variables (anatomical variation and severe adhesions). Both models met application prerequisites. Results Key factors influencing haemostatic clip usage were identified, including acute cholecystitis, scarring/fibrotic atrophy, anatomical variation and severe adhesions. Consumption references for haemostatic clips were established for LC patients with good prognoses on discharge. The ordered multinomial logit model revealed that acute cholecystitis decreased the odds of using four or more clips (p<0.001), while anatomical variation, scarring/fibrotic atrophy and severe adhesions increased the odds (p<0.001 for all). The model suggested using no more than three clips in 17.30% of cases, precisely four clips in 81.72% of cases and five or more clips in 0.98% of cases, depending on the co-occurring factors. Model-predicted clip usage was consistent with actual usage (consistency=0.56). Conclusions This study provides a framework for evidence-based consumable management in LC, demonstrating the potential for extrapolation to other consumables and surgical combinations. Continuous monitoring and timely adjustment will be imperative as medical products and practices evolve.

Investigating precise control pathway for haemostatic clip usage in laparoscopic cholecystectomy based on patient clinical variations: an exploratory retrospective observational study

ABSTRACT
Migration of cholecystectomy surgical clip into the common bile duct with subsequent stone formation is a rare phenomenon, one which may lead to complications including obstruction, pain, nausea, vomiting and fever. The mechanism of migration is largely unknown but may result from a combination of factors including necrosis, intra-abdominal pressure or poor surgical technique with migrated clip serving as a nidus for stone formation. We present a 55-year-old woman with clip-induced stone impacted at the distal common bile duct 12 years post-cholecystectomy and a review of the literature related to cholecystectomy clip stone formation. In addition, we reviewed relevant English language case reports and literature reviews by searching PubMed using search terms 'stone', 'clip', 'cholecystectomy' and 'biliary'. There was no limit to the date of publication. Our study found 68 unduplicated cases of clip-induced stones which had a wide range of onset and presenting systems. Further research is needed to identify risk factors, methods of prevention and benefits of early detection screening.

Cholecystectomy clip-induced biliary stone: Case report and literature review.

A case of Hemo-lok clip migration to common bile duct after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

BACKGROUND
 Hem-o-lok clips are typically used to control the cystic duct and vessels during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and common bile duct exploration for stones in the bile duct and gallbladder. Here, we report a unique example of Hem-o-lok clip movement towards the duodenal bulb after LC, appearing as a submucosal tumor (SMT). Additionally, we provide initial evidence of gradual and evolving endoscopic manifestations of Hem-o-lok clip migration to the duodenal bulb wall and review the available literature.
 CASE SUMMARY
 A 72-year-old man underwent LC for gallstones, and Hem-o-lok clips were used to ligate both the cystic duct and cystic artery. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) 2 years later revealed an SMT-like lesion in the duodenal bulb. Due to the symptomatology, the clinical examination did not reveal any major abnormalities, and the patient was followed up as an outpatient. A repeat EGD performed 5 months later revealed an SMT-like lesion in the duodenal bulb with raised edges and a central depression. A third EGD was conducted, during which a Hem-o-lok clip was discovered connected to the front side of the duodenum. The clip was extracted easily using biopsy forceps, and no complications occurred. Two months after the fourth EGD, the scar was surrounded by normal mucosa.
 CONCLUSION
 Clinicians should be aware of potential post-LC complications. Hem-o-lok clips should be removed if symptomatic.

Although Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) can provide insight into collagen fibrils of tissues, how the structure of collagen fibrils impact the SHG remains to be solved. 3D models of collagen fibrils in normal ovary and ovary cancer tissue are built based on the ratios of forward and backward SHG. Our models help understand the structure of ovary on the fibril level.

We investigate the symmetry breaking in a side-coupled WG-resonator (SCWR) system. The theory presented in this paper will be helpful for accurate design of photonic functional devices based on SCWR system.

Investigation of symmetry breaking in a side-coupled WG-resonator system

BACKGROUND Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) has been widely used for management of gallbladder and common bile duct (CBD) stones. Post-operative clip migration is a rare complication of laparoscopic biliary surgery, which can serve as a nidus for stone formation and cause recurrent cholangitis. CASE SUMMARY A 59-year-old female was admitted to hospital because of fever and acute right upper abdominal pain. She has a history of LC and had a LCBDE surgery 2 mo ago. Physical examination revealed tenderness in the upper quadrant of right abdomen. Computed tomography scan demonstrated a high-density shadow at the distal CBD, which was considered as migrated clips. The speculation was confirmed by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography examination, and two displaced Hem-o-lok clips were removed with a stone basket. No fever or abdominal pain presented after the operation. In addition to the case report, literature regarding surgical clip migration after laparoscopic biliary surgery was reviewed and discussed. CONCLUSION Incidence of postoperative clip migration may be reduced by using clips properly and correctly; however, new methods should be explored to occlude cystic duct and vessels. If a patient with a past history of LC or LCBDE presents with features of sepsis and recurrent upper quadrant pain, clip migration must be considered as one of the differential diagnosis.
