Oportunidad quirúrgica de la colecistectomía laparoscópica en pacientes con pancreatitis aguda biliar leve / Timing to the surgical management for laparoscopic cholecystectomy in patients with mild acute pancreatitis

According to the present knowledge, patients with mild biliary acute pancreatitis, must be cholecystectomized early, to avoid complications and recurrences of new episodes, but there is not totally clear which is the maximum period of time that the surgery could be delayed without increating the risks. On the other hand, there are authors that emphasize the delay of the surgial rsolution of the cholelitriasis, in order to bring benefits for the recovery of the acute episode, decresing the operative complications. This rport discusses the surgical timing for laparoscopic cholecystectomy in patient after mild biliary acute pancreatitis. The aim of this report was to analyze the surgical findings observed in cholecysectomized patients at admittance, as well as in those operated in a deferred way, the same as to analyze the coplications appareared in both grups

Colecistectomía Laparoscópica: Límites en la aplicación de la Visión Crítica de Seguridad / A critical view of safety in biliary injury during Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: the triangle of calot

Bile duct injury during laparoscopy is the most important complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Bile duct injuries place an enormeous burden on the health and productivity of the population. To avoid this severe complication, it has been one of the central objectives of the biliary surgery since its beginings. Traditional teaching of surgery fails in the prevention of laparoscopic bile duct injuries, and they cannot control the problem. Assessment of biliary anatomy of the bile duct injury is mandatory for prevention of iatrogenic bile duct injuries. With a proper knowledge for identification and categorization of the triangle of Calot to avoid technical errors we will achieve system changes to improve patient safety. Finally, although medical consensus and substantial evidence exist promoting the importance of the Critical Vision on Safety, with the development of a fundamental support to the regularization, a safe operative technique will decrease the rate of severe complications of the bile duct injury
