ABSTRACT
In the era of precision medicine, compared with open surgery, laparoscopic cholecystectomy has the advantages of less trauma, less postoperative complications and shorter hospital stay, but it cannot escape the risk of bile duct injury, and bile duct injury can occur at any time for various reasons, and its unpredictability greatly increases the difficulty of surgery. Although traditional cholangiography can avoid bile duct injury, it has not been widely used due to its limitations such as time consuming, high cost, high radiation and so on. Early indocyanine green has been widely used in lymph node examination, angiography, tumor localization and treatment due to its characteristics. Now, indocyane green fluorescence imaging technology has been gradually applied in LC, which can dynamically reflect the intraoperative situation and realize real-time surgical navigation, so it has achieved ideal effects in the identification of duct structure and prevention of bile duct injury. Indocyanine green injection preoperatively or intraoperatively through the gallbladder to develop extrahepatic bile ducts significantly improves the safety rate of surgery, but there is no unified standard for the use time and dosage of inddocyanine green. In this paper, the time and dose selection and clinical value of indocyanine green were reviewed based on the current research status and the author's experience.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To summarize our clinical experience and management of an anomalous proximal bile duct joining the cystic duct in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).@*Methods@#A retrospective study was conducted on 8 patients who had an anomalous right anterior bile duct joining the cystic duct who were treated at the Hunan Provincial People's Hospital from March 2003 to January 2019.@*Results@#All the 8 patients were diagnosed to have gallstones cholecystitis on preoperative CT, MRI and abdominal ultrasound. There were no suggestions of an anomalous bile duct. A total of 6 patients underwent reoperation after LC due to abdominal pain and biliary peritonitis. These 6 patients were treated with drainage and T-tube insertion. In the other 2 patients, the anomalous bile duct opening which joined the cystic duct were detected during LC. There was one patient converted to open laparotomy with preservation of the cystic duct and underwent common bile duct T-tube drainage. The other patients continued with laparoscopic surgery. The cystic duct was partially resected with removal of gallbladder, followed by common bile duct drainage. The average follow-up period was 3.4 years and the results were satisfactory.@*Conclusions@#Biliary duct anomaly is the main cause of iatrogenic proximal bile duct injury during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. It is not uncommon to have the anomaly of insertion of right anterior segmental bile duct to the cystic duct. To avoid iatrogenic biliary tract injury, careful preoperative study of X-ray films, accurate identification of the intraoperative gallbladder triangle anatomical structures. Strict adherence to carry out the three-word procedure of " discrimination, cut, identify" will help to reduce the incidence of biliary tract complications in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Background: The risk of bile duct injury (BDI) during cholecystectomy remains a concern, despite efforts proposed for increasing safety. The Critical View of Safety (CVS) has been adopted promoting to reduce its risk. Aim: To perform a survey to assess the awareness of the CVS, estimating the proportion of surgeons that correctly identified its elements and its relationship with BDI. Methods: An anonymous online survey was sent to 2096 surgeons inquiring on their common practices during cholecystectomy and their knowledge of the CVS. Results: A total of 446 surgeons responded the survey (21%). The percentage of surgeons that correctly identified the elements of CVS was 21.8% and 24.8% among surgeons claiming to know the CVS. The percentage of surgeons that reported BDI was higher among those that incorrectly identified the elements of the CVS (p=0.03). In the multivariate analysis, career length was the most significant factor related to BDI (p=0.002). Conclusions: The percentage of surgeons that correctly identified the Critical View of Safety was low, even among those who claimed to know the CVS. The percentage of surgeons that reported BDI was higher among those that incorrectly identified the elements of the CVS.
RESUMO Racional: O risco de lesão do ducto biliar (BDI) durante a colecistectomia continua a ser preocupante, apesar dos esforços propostos para aumentar a segurança. A Visão Crítica da Segurança (CVS) foi adotada e proposta para redução de seu risco. Objetivo: Realizar levantamento para avaliar a conscientização da CVS, e estimando a proporção de cirurgiões que identificaram corretamente seus elementos e sua relação com BDI. Métodos: Pesquisa online anônima foi enviada para 2096 cirurgiões perguntando sobre suas práticas comuns durante a colecistectomia e seu conhecimento da CVS. Resultados: Um total de 446 cirurgiões responderam a pesquisa (21%). A porcentagem que identificou corretamente os elementos da CVS foi de 21,8% e 24,8% entre os cirurgiões que afirmam conhecê-la. A porcentagem dos que relataram BDI foi maior entre os que incorretamente identificaram os elementos da CVS (p=0,03). Na análise multivariada, o tempo na carreira foi o fator mais significativo relacionado à BDI (p=0,002). Conclusões: A porcentagem de cirurgiões que identificaram corretamente a CVS foi baixa, mesmo entre aqueles que alegaram conhecê-la. A porcentagem de cirurgiões que relataram BDI foi maior entre aqueles que incorretamente identificaram os elementos da CVS.

Introducción: La colecistectomía laparoscópica precoz es nuestra conducta para el tratamiento de la colecistitis aguda; sin embargo, la consulta tardía y el tratamiento postergado por dificultades de acceso hacen que el tiempo de resolución muchas veces sobrepase los 7 días de iniciados los síntomas. Nuestro objetivo es comparar los resultados quirúrgicos entre los pacientes operados antes y después de este periodo. Material y métodos: Serie de casos consecutivos de pacientes con diagnóstico de colecistitis aguda operados entre junio de 2013 y diciembre de 2014 en el Servicio de Cirugía del Hospital de Coquimbo. De 358 casos, se excluyen aquellos asociados a colangitis, pancreatitis aguda, ASA ≥ 4 y cuadro mayor de 30 días. Consecuentemente se incluyen 233 pacientes que se dividen en «grupo precoz¼ (GP), operados antes del séptimo día de iniciados los síntomas, y «grupo tardío¼ (GT), operados después de este periodo. Se analizan la presentación de la serie y la asociación entre variables cualitativas y cuantitativas mediante la prueba de χ² y t de Student, respectivamente. Resultados: El GP presenta una estadía hospitalaria de 3,9 (± 2,0) días y el GT de 7,2 (± 5,2), (p = 0,0001); el periodo postoperatorio es de 1,9 (± 1,6) y de 2,9 (± 4,4) días, respectivamente (p = 0,055). La tasa de conversión en el GP es del 2,1% y en el GT del 9,7% (p = 0,027); la tasa global de complicaciones postoperatorias es del 3,2 y 10,7%, respectivamente (p = 0,033). Discusión: Nuestros resultados respaldan la colecistectomía precoz en pacientes con colecistitis aguda. Se pone de manifiesto un problema de gestión, en que la postergación de la resolución quirúrgica empeora los resultados y conlleva mayor riesgo de complicaciones.
Introduction: The treatment for acute Cholecystitis should be an early Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. However, this resolution often exceed 7 days after the clinical symptoms onset. Mainly, for delayed consultation of the patients, access difficulties and delayed surgical resolution in our hospital. The aim is compare the surgical outcomes of patients that have had a Cholecystectomy before 7 days after the clinical symptoms onset with those operated after this period. Material and methods: Between June 2013 and December 2014, 358 patients were Cholecystectomy for acute Cholecystitis at the Hospital of Coquimbo. Those associated to Cholangitis, Acute Pancreatitis, ASA ≥ 4 and Gallbladder Cancer, were excluded; 233 patients were included. They were allocated into two groups according to the treatment timeframe: ‘Early Group’ (EG) for those operated before the seventh day of symptoms onset and ‘Late Group’ (LG) for those operated after this period. A retrospective study was used to collect data demographics, clinical and surgical outcomes. All these factors were compared between the two groups. Results: The EG had a hospital stay of 3.9 (± 2.0) days and the LG 7.2 (± 5.2) (P = .0001); the postoperative stay was 1.9 (± 1.6) and 2.9 (± 4.4) (P = .055) days, respectively. The conversion rate in the EG was 2.1% and 9.7% in the LT (P = .027); the overall rate of postoperative complications was 3.2% and 10.7% (P = .033), respectively. Conclusions: The findings support an early Cholecystectomy in patients with acute cholecystitis. There is a management problem in terms of delayed surgical resolution which worsens surgical outcomes and increase morbidity.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic methods and the key points in the management of delayed complications of bile duct stenosis after iatrogenic bile duct injuries.Methods Five patients with bile duct injuries developed delayed complications of bile duct stenosis after cholecystectomy were retrospectively studied.All clinical information were derived from the medical data of these 5 patients treated in our department from June 2002 to July 2006.Results Of the 5 patients with delayed complications of iatrogenic bile duct injuries,2 patients developed common bile duct occlusion,2 patients developed hilar bile duct stenosis,and 1 patient developed anastomotic stenosis after cholangiojejunostomy.Bile duct injuries occurred in 3 patients after laparoscopic cholecystectomy,and in another 2 patients after mini-laparotomy-cholecystectomy.The locations of the bile duct injuries,according to Strasberg classification,were type E1 (n=1),type E2 (n=1),type E3,(n=1),and type E5 (n=2).All 5 patients received PTCD initially to relieve obstructive jaundice and then they received surgical exploration and biliary reconstruction.These patients received cholangioplasty at the porta hepatis,and hepaticojejunostomy using a Roux-en-Y anastomosis.Two patients received Roux-en-Y anastomosis of the common hepatic duct to the jejunum.All these patients had good recovery and were discharged well postoperatively.All patients had been followed-up for 7 years or more,with no evidence of obstructive jaundice or biliary tract infection.Conclusions For patients who present with delayed complications of bile duct stenosis after iatrogenic bile duct injuries,primary PTCD is carried out to relieve jaundice and to control infection.Meticulous dissection of the porta hepatis,reliable anastomosis of the proximal healthy bile duct tissues to a jejunal loop,and adequate size of anastomosis guarantee success of surgery.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical value of intraoperative cholangiography( IOC) by cystic duct during laparoscopic chol-ecystectomy( LC) . Methods The clinical data of 58 patients with LC received intraoperative cholangiography by cystic duct were analyzed retrospectively. Results In this group,Successful treatment of 55 cases(94. 83%),failed in 3 cases(5. 17%),no common bile duct calculi in 50 cases(90. 91%),small common bile duct calculi(0. 4 cm) in 5 cases(9. 09%). Among them 4 cases were received common bile duct exploration via laparotomy,1 case treated by laparoscopic transcystic biliary calculus extraction with Dormia basket. The cystic duct drained into the right hepatic duct in 1 patient. In all the cases,no bile duct injury,residual choledocholith,bile leakage,intra-abdominal infection and IOC related complications. Conclusion IOC during LC is simple and easy,with high success rate and good development effect,which can promptly discover the anatomical variations of biliary tract. It has important clinical application value to reduce biliary negative exploration,in-traoperative injury of biliary tract and postoperative common bile duct residual stone in basic hospital.
ABSTRACT
Biliary duct injury can arise severe complications,but the proper management can improve patients'prognosis and living quality.So we reviewed the current relevant references and hope it can do some help for clinicians.
