Laparoscopic cholecystectomy in acute cholecystitis

The authors retrospective analyze the role of golden standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy for the treatment of acute cholecystitis. They make a comparison between the results of 50 early cholecystectomy and 44 "a froid" cholecystectomy (operation was postponed until 6 weeks after acute cholecystitis had healed). From January 1997 to December 1998 536 laparoscopic cholecystectomies were performed. In 491 cases (91.6%) laparoscopic, and in 45 cases (8.4%) traditional (opening) method was indicated. Converted cholecystectomies were in 36 cases (7.3%). Agreeing to the literature they can determine the optimal timing of the operation in 72 hours from the onset of acute cholecystitis [2, 4]. In this group (first group) there were 50 cases, with 14 conversions (28%). In the second group (postponed, so called "a froid" phase) there were 44 patients. From this group was the intraoperative diagnosis serious acute-subacute cholecystitis in 24 cases (54.54%) causing complicated laparoscopic cholecystectomy and resulting in 11 conversions (11/44: 25%). The causes of the higher rate of conversion were the grave inflammation and slow dissection of central formation. There were no serious complication and mortality in both groups. It was diagnosed bile leak (two cases) which ceased spontaneously, one haematoma in abdominal layers, and one trocar's hernia. The authors have recommended the laparoscopic cholecystectomy for early diagnose acute cholecystitis in order to prevent the complications and reduce the sick-leave. Supporting their viewpoint the most important clinical end economical facts are: the recurrence of inflammation forced urgent surgery and caused more complication in the course of "a froid" phase there were scrutable anatomical situation the patients recovered in a shorter time.     

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy in acute cholecystitis

Background: In the light of laparoscopic cholecystectomy increasingly applied to all forms of cholecystitis, this study aimed at evaluating the safety of laparoscopic cholecystectomy applied to all cases of acute cholecystitis, and at determining factors associated with the risk of conversion to open cholecystectomy. Methods: The clinical, biochemical, radiologic, and operative data from 124 consecutive cases of acute cholecystitis were analyzed retrospectively to determine the complications and morbidity after operation. The data were analyzed further by univariate and multivariate analysis to identify factors associated with conversion. Results: No major bile duct injury or mortality occurred. Bile leak from the stump of the cystic duct developed in four patients. These were managed successfully by endoscopic biliary stent placement. The mean duration of hospital stay was 3.8 days in the laparoscopic group and 8.2 days in the open group. Of the 124 patients (18.5%), 23 underwent conversion to open cholecystectomy. Univariate analysis identified the following factors as associated with conversion: common duct dilation greater than 7 mm observed on ultrasound, (p < 0.05), pericholecystic collection seen on ultrasound (p < 0.0001), emphysematous cholecystitis (p < 0.01), endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographic evidence of Mirizzi syndrome (p < 0.05), and pericholecystic collection at operation (p < 0.0001). On multivariate analysis, only pericholecystic collection (p < 0.015) and gallbladder wall thickness greater than 5 mm (p < 0.013) were statistically significant. Conclusions: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis can be applied safely to all comers, offering the advantage of a shortened hospital stay. Pericholecystic collection, as observed on ultrasound, is associated with a high risk of conversion to open cholecystectomy.     

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis

Summary Because laparoscopic cholecystectomy reduces hospitalization time and postoperative disability, it is being offered to an increasing number of patients with symptomatic gallstones. Nevertheless, acute cholecystitis is still considered by many surgeons to be a relative contraindication. Our standard approach has been to perform laparoscopy on all patients considered candidates for cholecystectomy. From June 1990 to October 1991, the authors personally performed laparoscopic cholecystectomy on 110 patients, 29 (26%) of whom had pathologically confirmed acute cholecystitis. Of these, nine had evidence of gangrene, perforation, or abscess formation. It was necessary to convert to open cholecystectomy in four (14%) patients. In each, inflammation or dense adhesions precluded the performance of a safe operation. The hepatorenal space was drained in 12 (41%) and cystic dust cholangiograms were performed selectively. The mean operating time was 108 min. There were no intraoperative complications. One patient developed a prolonged postoperative paralytic ileus and two patients were noted to have postoperative common duct stones. There were no deaths. The average postoperative stay for laparoscopic cholecystectomy was 2.6 days. We conclude that the advantages of laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be safely and effectively extended to the majority of patients with acute cholecystitis.     

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis

Background  The aim of this study is to present our experience and results with performing laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis evaluating the effect of timing of surgery and the influence of the various types of gallbladder inflammation on patient outcome. Materials and methods  The patients were separated in three groups according to the time between the onset of symptoms and the operation: the “early” group was defined as laparoscopic cholecystectomy completed in the first 72 h after the onset of the symptoms, the “intermediate” group from 4 to 7 days, and the “delayed” group with symptoms lasting more than 8 days. Results  Two hundred twenty-five patients underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. There were 115 patients who underwent “early” surgery; 70 patients underwent “intermediate” surgery, and 70 patients underwent “delay” surgery. The total number of converted cases was 32 (12.5%). There were 124 cases of acute cholecystitis, 53 cases of gangrenous cholecystitis, 27 cases of hydrops, and 51 cases of empyema. There was no significant difference in complication rate, mortality, and postoperative hospital stay. Conclusions  Laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be accomplished safely in most patients with acute cholecystitis. The timing of surgery has no clinical relevant effect on conversion rates, operative times, morbidity, and postoperative hospital stay.     

腹腔镜手术治疗急性胆囊炎的疗效研究

目的对比腹腔镜手术和开腹手术在急性胆囊炎患者中的疗效及对炎症因子、血清淀粉酶水平的影响。 方法选取2015年12月至2017年7月收治的急性胆囊炎患者86例,按照数字表法随机分为两组,开腹组和腹腔镜组,各43例。数据采用SPSS18.0进行分析,临床疗效和术后并发症采取卡方检验;血清淀粉酶及炎症因子应用( ±s)检验,独立t检验,P<0.05差异有统计学意义。 结果腹腔镜组患者的临床有效率95.3%优于开腹组81.4%(P<0.05);腹腔镜组的手术中出血量、手术时长、排气时长、下床活动时长、住院天数及术后并发症均低于开腹组(P<0.05);治疗后两组患者的血清淀粉酶及炎症因子均发生不同程度升高,但腹腔镜组各项指标水平显著低于开腹组(P<0.05)。 结论急性胆囊炎患者使用腹腔镜手术的临床疗效更显著,患者创口小,术后恢复时间更短、并发症更少,值得应用及进一步推广。     

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis

The application of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (Lap. C) for acute cholecystitis (AC) remains controversial from the viewpoint of its higher rate of morbidity, and conversion to open surgery, in spite of the worldwide acceptance of Lap. C as the gold standard for the treatment of patients with symptomatic gallbladder diseases. The conversion rate has been reported to decrease with experience. Local and overall complication rates were shown to correlate with the time delay between the onset of acute symptoms and the operation. Although percutaneous gallbladder drainage (PGBD) has been reported to be a safe and effective procedure for the treatment of AC, it should be limited to high-risk groups such as elderly or critically ill patients. Early cholecystectomy within 4 days from the onset is strongly recommended to minimize surgical complications and to increase the chance of a successful laparoscopic approach.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis

From October 1991 to March 1994, 35 patients (20 men and 15 women) with acute cholecystitis (AC) underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). They ranged in age from 17 to 82 years (mean, 51.7 years). Nine of the 35 patients (25.7%) had either percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD) or percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder aspiration (PTGBA) performed preoperatively. The mean operative time was 183.7 min. Four of the 35 patients (11.4%) required conversion to open laparotomy. The mean postoperative hospital stay was 11.2 days and postoperative morbidity rate was 2.9%. There were no major complications and no deaths. In this retrospective study, we divided the patients into three groups according to the surgical timing of LC in relation to onset. Two of the three groups had LC performed more than 7 days after onset; these groups were termed, collectively, the delayed LC group. The group that had LC performed within 7 days of onset we termed the early LC group. The early LC group had a shorter operative time, less blood loss, and a shorter postoperative hospital stay than the delayed LC group, but the differences were not significant. Nevertheless, we suggest that early LC for AC should be employed for patients who are in a stable condition and who have no preoperative associated medical problems. In the delayed LC group, there were no significant differences in findings between patients who received or did not receive either PTGBD or PTGBA. PTGBD and PTGBA are useful procedures for the relief of acute severe symptoms in patients whose condition is refractory to treatments such as i.v. antibiotic infusion and no oral feeding. We conclude that a laparoscopic procedure for patients with AC, when performed by experienced surgeons, is safe, technically feasible, and useful.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis.

Sixty-eight cases of acute cholecystitis managed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) are reviewed. Thirty-two patients were admitted up to 10 days after onset of symptoms and 31 were completed by LC. One patient was referred from intensive care with gangrenous acalculus cholecystitis and was completed by LC but required subsequent laparotomy to control a bleeding omental vessel. Five patients were admitted with recurrent attacks of pain and histology confirmed resolving acute cholecystitis. Thirty patients had LC on routine operating lists, having recently had pain within 10 days of admission. Histology confirmed acute cholecystitis or resolving acute cholecystitis in these patients. All were completed by LC. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a very effective treatment for acute cholecystitis if complete dissection of anatomy can be performed.
