ABSTRACT
Resumen Antecedentes: El íleo biliar es una rara complicación de la colecistitis crónica litiásica que representa del 1 al 3% de los casos de oclusión intestinal. Primera vez descrito por Bartolin en 1654, el íleo biliar ocurre por obstrucción crónica del conducto cístico y necrosis de la vesícula biliar, lo que puede desarrollar una fistula colecisto-entérica. Rigler en 1941 describió la tríada clásica del íleo biliar. Caso clínico: Mujer de 56 años de edad con diagnóstico de insuficiencia hepática que súbitamente presentó distención abdominal con ausencia de evacuaciones y canalización de gases. La tomografía abdominal mostró datos que sugieren el diagnóstico de oclusión intestinal, por lo que se realizó laparotomía exploradora con presencia de distención de asas. Se retiraron 2 litos por medio de enterolitotomía; evolución posquirúrgica adecuada hasta lograr estabilización hemodinámica y alta hospitalaria. Conclusiones: La presencia de íleo biliar es una rara causa de colusión intestinal que requiere de tratamiento quirúrgico para su resolución. Ee necesita un alto nivel de sospecha para su diagnóstico y manejo.
Abstract Background: Gall-stone ileus is a weird complication of the lithiasic cholecyst since it represents only 1 to 3% of the bowel obstuccion cases. It was described for the first time by Bartoin in 1654, the gall-stone ileus happens due to a cronic obstruccion in the cistic duct than causes gallbladder necrosis and a bile enteric fistula. In 1941, Rigler described the classic triad for the gall-stone ileus. Clinical case: A 56-year-old woman that had a diagnosis of hepatic failure, suddenly presented abdominal distension, constipation and obstipation. The abdominal tomography showed data that suggested a bowel occlusion, therefore, we performed an exploratory laparotomy and found distension of the bowel loops and the presence of three gall stones, that were removed with enterolitotomy. The pacient had a good posquirurgic evolution and was discharged from hospital. Conclusions: The gall-stone ileus is a rare cause for bowel occlusion that requires surgical treatment; it needs a high level of suspicion for its diagnoses and management.
ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the clinical application of percutaneous transhepatic removal of gall-stone technique in treating common bile duct (CBD) stones.Methods Between January 2013 and January 2015,a total of 25 patients with CBD stones underwent lithotomy procedure via percutaneous transhepatic route.First,under ultrasound or fluoroscopy guidance percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC) was performed with subsequent placement of an 8 F rsheath;then,a balloon of 8-12 mm diameter was employed to dilate the papilla;mechanical lithotripsy was adopted when the stone size exceeded 12 mm;finally,through guide-wire exchange technique the stone-retrieval balloon was used to push the stones into the intestinal tract through the sphincter of duodenal papilla.Results The reasons to receive percutaneous transhepatic removal of gall-stone technique in the 25 patients included previous gastrointestinal surgery (n=18),endoscopic treatment failure (n=3),unwilling to receive endoscopic treatment (n=3),and other reasons (n=1).Successful removal of stones was accomplished in all 25 patients.After the treatment,complications occurred in 3 patients (12％),including fever (n=2) and liver abscess formation (n=1).The patients were followed up for 0.5-3 years;two patients died of tumor recurrence and metastasis,and one patient developed recurrence of common bile duct stones.No reflux cholangitis occurred.Conclusion For the treatment of CBD stones,percutaneous transhepatic removal of gall-stone technique carries higher technical success rate with lower incidence of complications,therefore,this technique can be used for the patients who are not suitable for endoscopic treatment or in whom endoscopic treatment failed.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship between peri-menopausal women blood lipid level and the gallstone disease in order to provide theoretical basis for the prevention of gallbladder stone.Methods Seventy-two patients with gallbladder calculus from Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery Jinshan District Central Hospital of Shanghai and 52 healthy women coming for physical examination as the control group.Participants were divided into five age groups (20-29,30-39,40-49,50-59 and 60-69 years old) and two age stages (young period (30-40 years old) and peri-menopausal period (45-55 years old)),total cholesterol (TC),triglyceride (TG),high density lipoprotein (HDL-C),low-density lipoproteins (LDL-C) and Body Mass Index (BMI) were determined and compared between the stone group and the control group at different age stages.Results In comparison of the menopausal transition period,the stone group had significantly lower blood TC,HDL-C and LDL-C levels than the control group (TC:(4.58 ± 0.27) mmol/L vs.(5.15 ± 0.26) mmol/L,t=3.112,P ＜0.01 ;HDL-C:(1.17 ±0.11) mmol/L vs.(1.40 ±0.08) mmol/L,t =3.351,P ＜0.01 ;LDL-C:(2.71 ± 0.30) mmol/L vs.(3.15 ± 0.26) mmol/L,t =2.437,P ＜ 0.05).For the young period,there were no significant difference on blood lipid level and BMI was observed between the stone group and the control group (P ＞ 0.05).The fat HDL-C level in blood was significantly lower in the stone group in the menopausal transition period than in the young period ((1.17 ± 0.11) mmol/L vs.(1.33 ± 0.07) mmol/L,t =2.455,P ＜ 0.05).The control group had significantly higher peri-menopausal TC,TG,LDL-C levels in blood and BMI than those in the control group young period (P ＜ 0.05) ; And HDL-C level,no significant difference (TC:(5.15 ± 0.26)mmol/L vs.(4.47 ± 0.34) mmol/L,t =3.175,P ＜ 0.01 ; TG:(1.88 ± 0.39) mmol/L vs.(1.10 ± 0.24)mmol/L,t=3.066,P＜0.01;LDL-C:(3.15 ±0.26) mmol/L vs.(2.71 ±0.31) mmol/L,t =2.261,P＜0.05;BMI:(24.75±0.99) kg/m2vs.(21.73±1.11) kg/m2,t=4.217,P＜0.01).Conclnsion For perimenopausal (45-55 years old) females,decline of serum TC,HDL-C and LDL-C levels may be related to the formation of cholesterol stone.Lower HDL-C level is closely associated with formation of cholesterol stone,indicating that it may be one of the measures to prevent gallbladder stone by adjusting blood fat in perimenopausal women.
ABSTRACT
The pearly gallstone was discharged after Treatment with Magnetic Field (TMF). The pearly gallstones are measured with FT-IR spectrometer. The results demonstrate that mostly composition of this gall-stones is cholesterol and intermixture with some protean and inorganic calcium salt. Nature pearls is mostly composed with calcium carbonate. Their compositions are different. The pearly gall-stones show sandwich of cholesterol crystal in structure.
