Gallstone pancreatitis: positive correlation between severe pancreatitis and passed stone

Background/Purpose Little is known about whether the severity of pancreatitis depends upon persistent stone impaction or stone passage into the duodenum, and the role of endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES) has remained controversial.Methods This study reviewed our experience of 183 patients with gallstone pancreatitis, with special attention paid to the relationship between the severity of pancreatitis, the severity of coexisting biliary pathology, and the outcome.Results Sixteen patients (9%) had severe pancreatitis (SP) and the remaining 167 (91%) had mild pancreatitis (MP). All of the SP patients had pancreatic necrosis, and 6 of them developed multiple organ failure (MOF). No SP patients had stones impacted at the papilla of Vater or persistent stones and purulent bile in the bile duct (severe cholangitis). Most SP patients (94%) had stones in the gallbladder alone, suggesting stone passage into the duodenum. Of the 167 MP patients, on the other hand, 58 (35%) had severe cholangitis. Four patients (25%) with SP died of MOF. There were four deaths in the MP group (2%) and all in patients with coexisting severe cholangitis, 2 of whom were in septic shock at the time of admission.Conclusions None of the SP patients had severe cholangitis. The positive correlation between SP and passed stone suggests that early ES should not be advocated for SP patients. MP patients with coexisting severe cholangitis are likely to benefit from ES.     

Common bile duct stones: the role of preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative ERCP

The indications for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) to demonstrate the presence of common bile duct stones has changed in the era of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Preoperative ERCP is indicated when there is strong evidence of common bile duct stones, ie, jaundice, cholangitis, ultrasound demonstration of a common bile duct stone, and specific enzyme elevations. Preoperative ERCP is not indicated in mild gallstone pancreatitis. ERCP and endoscopic sphincterotomy as the only treatment regimen is successful in elderly patients with severe comorbid illness who have gallstones and common bile duct stones. Intraoperative ERCP does not play a role in the era of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Transcystic common duct stone removal or laparoscopic choledochotomy is becoming the approach to common duct stones demonstrated by intraoperative cholangiography. Postoperative ERCP is indicated when intraoperative removal of common bile duct stones is unsuccessful. It is important to note that magnetic resonance cholangiography will play an increasing role and will reduce the indications and frequency of the use of ERCP.     

New strategy to prevent ascending cholangitis in larger choledochoduodenal fistula

BACKGROUND: Choledochoduodenal fistula (CDF) is a complication of common bile duct stones or cholangitis in Asia. It is unclear as to which type of the fistula needs surgical treatment. METHODS: To determine whether the sizes of CDF imply different clinical presentations and treatments, we reviewed 50 patients with CDF and their treatments during a recent 14-year period. For treatments of CDF, we applied the conventional methods, including removal of stone and complete decompression of biliary obstruction to treat the original bile lesions. In addition, according to the sizes of fistula and the frequencies of ascending cholangitis, we proposed the following strategies for fistula treatments: (i) for fistula orifices larger than 1 cm, a transection of common bile duct was applied to prevent the reflux of duodenal juice; (ii) for fistula orifices between 0.5 and 1.0 cm, an effective biliary drainage was applied; and (iii) for fistula orifices less than 0.5 cm, non-surgical treatments were applied. RESULTS: We found that hepatic biliary duct stones and hepatic biliary duct strictures were associated with more severe cholangitis (P = 0.037 and P = 0.009, respectively), but not with the episodes of cholangitis (P = 0.654 and P = 0.664, respectively). In contrast, the sizes of fistula >1 cm were associated with more frequent episodes of cholangitis (r = 0.774; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The larger fistula increases frequency of cholangitis episodes and needs surgical treatment for fistula itself.     

Spontaneous passage of bile duct stones: frequency of occurrence and relation to clinical presentation

BACKGROUND: Little is known about the spontaneous passage of bile duct stones. The aim of this study was to determine the rate of spontaneous stone passage and relate it to the clinical presentation of the bile duct stone. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Prospectively collected data were studied on a total of 1000 consecutive patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy with or without laparoscopic common duct exploration. Comparisons were made between 142 patients with common bile duct stones (CBDS), 468 patients who had no previous or current evidence of duct stones, and 390 patients who had good evidence of previous duct stones but none at the time of cholecystectomy. The evidence used for previous duct stones included a good history of jaundice or pancreatitis. In patients with biliary colic or cholecystitis, abnormal pre-operative liver function tests and/or a dilated common bile duct were taken as evidence of bile duct stones. RESULTS: Of the 1000 patients studied, 532 had evidence of stones in the common bile duct at some time prior to cholecystectomy. At the time of operation, only 142 patients had bile duct stones. By implication, 80%, 84%, 93% and 55% of patients presenting with pancreatitis, colic, cholecystitis and jaundice (73% overall) had passed their bile duct stones spontaneously. All 4 patients with cholangitis had duct stones at the time of operation. CONCLUSIONS: It is likely that most bile duct stones (3 in 4) pass spontaneously, especially after pancreatitis, biliary colic and cholecystitis but less commonly after jaundice. Cholangitis appears to be always associated with the presence of duct stones at the time of operation.

Management of gallstone cholangitis in the era of laparoscopic cholecystectomy

HYPOTHESIS: The combined endoscopic and laparoscopic approach is safe and effective in managing gallstone cholangitis in the era of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). DESIGN: Retrospective case series. SETTING: University teaching hospital. PATIENTS: One hundred eighty-four consecutive patients with gallstone cholangitis treated between January 1995 and December 1998. INTERVENTIONS: The main treatments were endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES) followed by interval LC. Open or laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (OCBDE or LCBDE) was used when ERCP or ES failed. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Success of various interventions, morbidity and mortality, and long-term incidence of recurrent biliary symptoms. RESULTS: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was successful in 175 patients (95%), with bile duct stones found in 147 (84%). Endoscopic stone clearance by ES was achieved in 132 patients (90%). Morbidity rate after ERCP or ES was 4.0% (n = 7), and overall mortality rate from cholangitis was 1.6% (n = 3). After bile duct stone clearance, 82 patients underwent LC with a conversion rate of 9.8% (n = 8) and a morbidity rate of 3.6% (n = 3). Eighteen patients underwent OCBDE with a morbidity rate of 33% (n = 6), and 3 underwent LCBDE with 1 conversion and no morbidity. There was no operative mortality. Seventy-eight patients were managed conservatively after endoscopic clearance of bile duct stones. Follow-up data were available in 101 patients with cholecystectomy and 73 patients with gallbladder in situ. During a median follow-up of 24 months, recurrent biliary symptoms occurred in 5.9% (n = 6) and 25% (n = 18), respectively (P =.001). In both groups, the most common recurrent symptom was cholangitis (n = 5 and n = 14, respectively). Gallbladder in situ (risk ratio, 4.16; 95% confidence interval, 1.39-12.50; P =.01) and small-size papillotomy (risk ratio, 2.94; 95% confidence interval, 1. 07-8.10; P =.04) were significant risk factors for recurrent biliary symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: Endoscopic sphincterotomy for biliary drainage and stone removal, followed by interval LC, is a safe and effective approach for managing gallstone cholangitis. Patients with gallbladder left in situ after ES have an increased risk of recurrent biliary symptoms. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy should be recommended after endoscopic management of cholangitis except in patients with prohibitive surgical risk.33333333333333333333333     

Common bile duct pressure in patients with common bile duct stones with or without acute suppurative cholangitis

Resting common bile duct pressure was measured in three groups of patients: group 1, 53 patients with gallstones but without common duct stones; group 2, 35 patients with common bile duct stones unaccompanied by cholangitis; and group 3, 36 patients with common duct stones and acute suppurative cholangitis. A significantly higher pressure in the common bile duct was documented in patients with cholangitis when compared with the other two groups. Twenty-four patients with cholangitis had common duct pressure values above 20 cm H2O, the maximal values of normal. Additionally, patients with cholangitis with pressure values over 30 cm H2O (nine patients) showed absence of green bile in the extrahepatic biliary tract, suggesting cessation of bile excretion into biliary duct. In all these cases, an impacted stone at the distal end of the common bile duct was documented.     

Akute Pankreatitis

Early endoscopic intervention is required in the treatment of biliary pancreatitis in the presence of cholangitis or jaundice, possibly with dilated common bile duct. Also patients with predicted severe disease, lack of spontaneous clinical improvement or progressive jaundice might benefit from endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with sphincterotomy. If endoscopy is indicated, it should be performed as soon as possible. Injection of contrast medium into a dilated bile duct is accompanied by the risk of cholangitis. Therefore therapeutic decompression by sphincterotomy and stone extraction is necessary, or, if this is not possible, insertion of a naso-biliary tube for drainage. Prophylactic use of antibiotics is recommended periinterventionally. Early endoscopic intervention is not necessary in patients with mild biliary pancreatitis and spontaneous clinical improvement. Here, ERCP can be performed later, if indicated.     

Endoscopic sphincterotomy in acute gallstone pancreatitis: a prospective study of the late outcome.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the outcome after acute biliary pancreatitis in patients treated during the acute attack by endoscopic sphincterotomy without cholecystectomy. DESIGN: Prospective observational study. SETTING: University hospital, Norway. SUBJECTS: 130 patients with gallstones and acute pancreatitis. In 62 patients with common bile duct stones the bile duct was cleared by sphincterotomy and stone extraction. The remaining 68 patients had prophylactic sphincterotomy. Cholecystectomy was not planned later. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Incidence of recurrent acute pancreatitis and need for cholecystectomy. RESULTS: 21 patients were dead or not available for the follow-up. Consequently 109 patients were followed-up for a median of 39 months (range 23-62). One patient had recurrent pancreatitis. 20 patients had a cholecystectomy later for symptoms related to gallstone disease. Of the rest, 25 patients had moderate or mild gallstone-related symptoms. There was no difference in gallstone-related symptoms between those who had had stones in the bile duct and those who had not. 63 patients had no symptoms related to gallstones. CONCLUSION: Endoscopic sphincterotomy during or immediately after acute gallstone pancreatitis resulted in half the patients being free of symptoms during the next three years.     

Outcomes of emergency common bile duct exploration: impact of preoperative endoscopic decompression

Background: Emergency common bile duct exploration (CBDE) is still required in patients acutely ill with complicated biliary tract stone disease when endoscopic decompression fails to reverse their condition. This study looks at the clinical profile of patients requiring emergency CBDE and examines the various factors influencing the postoperative outcome. Methods: Clinical records of patients with emergency CBDE in Singapore General Hospital from January 1991 to December 1998 were reviewed. Factors influencing postoperative outcomes, for example, pre‐existing medical problems, hepatic para­‐­m­eters, the impact of endoscopic procedures (if any) and indications for surgery, were correlated with postoperative morbidity and 30‐day mortality. Results: The records of 100 patients were available for review. Major indications for emergency CBDE were cholangitis (51%) and intraoperative findings of common bile duct obstruction during emergency laparotomy (23%). Six patients had emergency CBDE because of iatrogenic complication of attempted therapeutic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography (ERCP) for biliary stones. Overall mortality was 14.0% and 8.0% had retained stones. Mortality was significantly influenced by age, prior biliary disease, preoperative endoscopic biliary decompression in acute cholangitis (33.3%vs 9.4%, P = 0.035) and endoscopic complications. Conclusions: Among patients requiring emergency CBDE, uncomplicated preoperative endoscopic biliary decompression ben­efits patients with acute cholangitis.     

Incidence and management of biliary pancreatitis in cholecystectomized patients: results of a 7-year study

Data are lacking concerning the frequency of biliary acute pancreatitis in the postcholecystectomy patient. The aim of this study was to identify patients at risk for biliary pancreatitis after cholecystectomy and to describe the therapeutic management of these patients, based on an analysis of 278 unselected patients with acute pancreatitis during a 7-year period. A biliary etiology was presumed in the presence of laboratory findings of cholestasis that could not be explained by another disease, together with the absence of any other known etiology of acute pancreatitis. A biliary cause of disease was found in 132 (47%) of 278 patients. Seventeen (13%) of 132 patients had a history of cholecystectomy. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was performed in all patients with a suspected biliary cause of acute pancreatitis. It showed bile duct stones, microlithiasis, or sludge in 14 patients, and was consistent with typical findings at the papilla of Vater after stone passage in another three patients. No surgical bile duct exploration was necessary. One patient with severe disease and infected pancreatic necrosis died of septic multiorgan failure.

Gallstone cholangitis: a 10-year experience of combined endoscopic and laparoscopic treatment

BACKGROUND: To date, no procedure has yet been identified as the gold standard for the treatment of gallstone cholangitis in the laparoscopic era. METHODS: The data of 109 consecutive patients with acute cholangitis were prospectively entered into a computerized database. All patients were managed according to a standard protocol. The main treatments were endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) combined with endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES), followed by interval laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Patients in whom ERC or endoscopic stone clearance failed were managed by emergency open common bile duct exploration. LC was performed with a standardized four-cannula technique. The mean duration of surgery, conversion rate, and postoperative outcome of these patients were evaluated. RESULTS: ERC was successful in 103 patients (94.5%). In five of these patients (4.8%), no bile duct stones were found. The 98 patients (95.2%) with common bile duct stones were referred for ES. The bile duct stones were successfully removed after ES in 93 cases (94.9%). The overall failure rate of ERC and ES for choledocholithiasis was 10.1%. Self-limiting pancreatitis occurred in four patients (4.3%). Overall, two of the 109 patients died (1.8%). After ES, 81 patients underwent LC. LC was performed successfully in 74 patients (91.3%). Conversion to open surgery was required in seven patients (8.7%). The morbidity rate after cholecystectomy was 7.4%; the morbidity rate after open bile duct exploration was 36.4% (p<0.05). Fifteen patients were managed conservatively after initial endoscopic management of their cholangitis. The overall incidence of recurrent biliary symptoms was significantly higher among patients with gallbladder in place than for patients who underwent cholecystectomy (38.5% vs 1.5%, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: ES followed by LC is a safe and effective approach for the management of gallstone cholangitis; cholecystectomy should be performed in patients with gallstone cholangitis unless the operative risk is extremely high. These high operative risk patients and those who refuse surgery after ES should be warned that they are at high risk for recurrent biliary symptoms.     

胆囊结石伴急性胆源性胰腺炎的微创治疗

目的 探讨胆囊结石伴急性胆源性胰腺炎（acute biliary pancreatitis,ABP）的微创治疗方法及手术时机。方法 回顾分析我院2008年5月～2013年5月胆囊结石伴ABP122例的临床资料。先保守治疗,磁共振胰胆管成像（MRCP）明确胆总管有无结石梗阻,104例未发现结石者急性胰腺炎恢复后行腹腔镜胆囊切除术（laparoscopic cholecystectomy,LC）。18例MRCP发现胆总管下段结石,行内镜逆行胆胰管造影（ERCP）＋十二指肠乳头括约肌切开（EST）取石＋鼻胆管引流（ENBD）治疗成功,再行LC。结果轻型106例,手术时间为发病后7～14天;重型16例,手术时间为发病后15～30天。无中转开腹、胆管损伤及死亡。其中107例随访5～8个月,无胰腺炎复发。结论对胆囊结石伴ABP应常规MRCP检查。未发现胆总管结石者待胰腺炎恢复后行LC;有胆总管结石伴梗阻者72小时内用十二指肠镜取出胆管下端嵌顿结石并ENBD,待胰腺炎恢复后再行LC;无梗阻者保守治疗胰腺炎恢复后,先行ERcP并取石,再行LC。手术时机应遵循“个体化”原则,一般轻型胰腺炎可在发病1～2周内手术。采用上述方法治疗胆囊结石伴ABP安全、有效、微创、可行。     

Biochemical prediction of acute cholangitis and symptomatic bile duct stones by gallstone hepatitis

We have adopted the clinical concept of gallstone hepatitis indicated by marked serum transaminase elevation due to an acute inflammatory liver cell necrosis in the early stages of gallstone impaction in the bile duct as clinical and biochemical criteria for identifying high-risk patients for acute cholangitis or bile duct stones causing symptoms (symptomatic bile duct stones, SBDS).One hundred and fifty-eight (80.2%) of 197 patients with acute gallstone disease and concomitant elevation of serum transaminase (gallstone hepatitis) underwent emergency treatment, either surgery (138 patients) or percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD)/endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES) (20 patients). One hundred and forty-two (89.9%) and 67 (42.4%) were confirmed to have SBDS and acute cholangitis, respectively, in the early stage of the disease. The majority of the patients who had no bile duct stones identified at surgery had either biliary pancreatitis or multiple small stones in the gallbladder. They were assumed to have migrating stones or false negative operative cholangiograms.In conclusion, gallstone hepatitis indicates that SBDS and acute cholangitis are probable, and facilitates rapid selection of patients for urgent biliary tract exploration in patients with acute gallstone disease.

目的 探讨梗阻性重型胆石性胰腺炎的病变特点及处理原则.方法 分析温州医学院第一附属医院1997年1月~2005年10月期间收治的10例梗阻性重型胆石性胰腺炎患者的临床资料.结果 (1)6例患者存在胆总管结石,4例胆总管内未见结石;(2)4例出现Charcot三联征,1例出现Renyolds五联征;8例以右上腹痛为主,仅1例出现左上腹痛;6例呈胰头部局灶性坏死;2例见散在斑点状坏死;2例见弥漫性坏死灶.(3)外科收治的8例患者,全部采取早期手术治疗而获得治愈;内科收治的2例患者采取早期传统保守治疗,1例病情恶化第8天自动出院,1例病情好转遗留胆石病变出院.结论 (1)胆管梗阻可导致胆石性胰腺炎,梗阻是原因,病因不除,疾病难以控制;(2)胆总管内未见结石的胆石性胰腺炎也可出现胆道梗阻,应引起临床重视;(3)梗阻性重型胆石性胰腺炎的病变特点:胆道症状突出,胰腺病变以局灶性胰头部坏死为主;⑷梗阻性重型胆石性胰腺炎应采取早期手术治疗,由外科收治较为合理.     

经胆囊管腹腔镜胆道探查术治疗胆总管结石的临床研究

目的:比较分析腹腔镜下经胆囊管和经胆总管切开T管引流两种方法胆道镜取石治疗胆囊结石继发胆总管结石的疗效,以评价经胆囊管腹腔镜胆道探查术治疗胆总管结石的临床价值。方法:2001年3月至2003年3月按胆道探查途径不同将28例胆石症患者分为胆囊管组(n=8)和胆总管切开组(n=20)。患者经B超和术中胆道造影或加内窥镜逆行胆管造影(ERC)确诊。观察两组病例的术后肛门排气时间、腹腔引流时间、术后住院日、住院费用及手术并发症的发生情况,术后对患者进行全程跟踪随访。结果:胆总管切开组肛门排气时间、腹腔引流时间、术后住院日、住院费用明显长于或高于胆囊管组(P>0.05)。胆囊管组发生手术并发症1例(12.5%);胆总管切开组5例(25.0%),其中胆道并发症4例(20.0%),需要再次微创处理2例(10.0%),需再次手术治疗的严重并发症2例(10.0%);手术并发症发生率胆总管切开组明显高于胆囊管组(P<0.05)。随访两组患者均无胆管狭窄、急性胆管炎及急性胰腺炎发生和结石复发。结论:经胆囊管途径的腹腔镜胆道探查术充分体现了微创外科技术的优点,适于胆囊结石继发胆总管结石患者,其疗效优于胆总管切开T管引流途径的腹腔镜胆道探查术。     

Endoscopic electrohydraulic lithotripsy in the management of pancreatobiliary lithiasis

Background: Clinical evaluation of intraoperative endoscopy with electrohydraulic lithotripsy (EHL) in the management of 13 patients with pancreatobiliary lithiasis was undertaken. Methods: Ten patients with chronic pancreatitis with intraductal lithiasis in the head and three with biliary lithiasis (one choledochal, one cystic, one right intrahepatic) underwent intraoperative endoscopy with EHL. Shock waves were applied by visual contact with a 3-Fr gauge EHL probe until all stones were fragmented and irrigated free. All pancreatitis patients had failed ERCP attempts to stent their pancreatic ducts secondary to ductal lithiasis. Patients with pancreatic stones underwent lateral pancreatojejunostomy. Biliary stone patients underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy with common duct exploration (two cases) and open cholecystectomy with choledochoduodenostomy (one case). Results: Intraductal stone eradication was successful in all patients. Transampullary visualization of the duodenum was achieved in eight cases. Average EHL time was 65 min. There was no evidence of postoperative pancreatitis, cholangitis, or retained common duct stones. Conclusion: Intraoperative pancreatobiliary endoscopy with EHL is safe and effective in the eradication of pancreatic and bile duct stones. This novel technique represents a valuable adjunct in the management of chronic fibrocalcific pancreatitis with ductal lithiasis in the head region and in the open and laparoscopic management of intra- and extrahepatic bile duct stones.

The theory of ''persisting'' common bile duct stones in severe gallstone pancreatitis.

There have been uncertainties as to the role of common bile duct (CBD) stones in severe gallstone pancreatitis. In order to resolve this, ERCP findings in 131 patients with acute pancreatitis were compared with predicted severity, clinical course and final outcome. Significant associations were found between 'persisting' CBD stones, coincidental acute cholangitis, predicted severity and actual outcome. There was evidence for acute obstruction of both the CBD and the pancreatic duct by CBD stones. The theory was therefore proposed that small migrating stones tend to initiate the attack, whereas larger 'persisting' stones tend to convert a mild attack into a severe attack. This hypothesis resolves previously irreconcilable theories and lends support to the use of urgent endoscopic sphincterotomy for treatment, but only in cases predicted to be severe.     

鼻胆管引流对于ERCP术后并发症的防治
