Ready, Set, Go! Chris and Mars break down three biliary tract heavyweights for your surgery shelf: Choledocholithiasis, Ascending Cholangitis, and Mirizzi Syndrome. These conditions may look similar on the surface but have key differences in presentation, diagnosis, and management that will save you points on exam day—and lives in the hospital.
You’ll learn: ✅ Why fluctuating jaundice should make you think stones in the CBD. ✅ The Charcot triad and Reynolds pentad—and why they’re surgical emergencies. ✅ Why RUQ ultrasound can miss stones and when to upgrade to MRCP or ERCP. ✅ The hallmark finding of Mirizzi Syndrome and why surgery is the only definitive treatment. ✅ High-yield antibiotic regimens and ERCP complications you can’t afford to miss.
Perfect for medical students preparing for their surgery clerkship, NBME shelf exam, or Step 2 CK. Plug in your headphones and let Chris and Mars help you lock down these essential concepts.
