ABSTRACT

Introducción: Las complicaciones de la litiasis biliar (LB) son una causa importante de morbilidad en nuestro país y en el mundo entero y generan elevados costos en salud. Objetivo: El objetivo de este trabajo fue determinar, que pacientes con una complicación de su patología litiásica de la vía biliar (colecistitis, colangitis aguda, pancreatitis aguda), fueron previamente asintomáticos, resultando dicha complicación el debut de la enfermedad. Lugar: Sanatorio Asociación Española de Socorros Mutuos, Montevideo Uruguay. Diseño: Estudio observacional descriptivo, retrospectivo, análisis de historias clínicas. Materiales y Métodos: Se analizaron 234 casos clínicos. Se constató en este grupo de pacientes, características epidemiológicas, metodología diagnóstica, tratamientos recibidos y complicaciones. Resultados: Del total de pacientes (n=234), 109 (46.6%) tenían una litiasis vesicular asintomática (LVA) y la complicación biliar, fue el debut de su enfermedad. La colecistitis aguda fue la complicación más frecuente (68%), en segundo lugar, la colangitis aguda (22%) y en tercer lugar la pancreatitis aguda (10%). La edad promedio de presentación de la enfermedad fue los 59 años. Conclusiones: Casi la mitad de los pacientes (46.6%) que presentaron una complicación de su litiasis biliar eran asintomáticos. Este sería un argumento importante para indicar la colecistectomía laparoscópica con un criterio profiláctico en pacientes con una LVA.


Introduction : Complications of gallstones are an important cause of morbidity in our country and throughout the world and generate high health costs. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine which patients with a complication of their bile duct stone pathology (cholecystitis, acute cholangitis, acute pancreatitis) were previously asymptomatic, and this complication resulted in the onset of the disease. Place: Sanatorium Asociación Española de Socorros Mutuos, Montevideo Uruguay. Design: Descriptive and retrospective observational study with an analysis of medical records. Materials and Methods: 234 clinical cases were analyzed. Epidemiological characteristics, diagnostic methodology, treatments received, and complications were assessed in this group of patients. Results: Of the total number of patients (n=234), 109 (46.6%) had an asymptomatic gallbladder lithiasis and the biliary complication was the debut of their disease. Acute cholecystitis was the most frequent complication (68%), followed by acute cholangitis (22%) and third by acute pancreatitis (10%). The average age of presentation of the disease was 59 years. Conclusions: Almost half of the patients (46.6%) who presented a complication of their gallstones were asymptomatic. This would be an important argument to indicate laparoscopic cholecystectomy with a prophylactic criterion in patients with asymptomatic gallbladder lithiasis.

ABSTRACT

For over 20 years we have discussed the indication of early endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) (72 h before the onset of symptoms) in acute biliary pancreatitis (ABP), seeking to stop the inflammatory process, reducing complications and mortality, taking into account that ERCP can cause pancreatitis and other complications such as perforation and hemorrhage. To elucidate this problem, there have been multiple meta-analyses based on the same 3 or 5 randomized controlled trials of early ERCP versus conventional treatment (including elective ERCP) in ABP, which have produced conflicting results. There is agreement regarding that it is not indicated in mild ABP, and it is indicated in ABP associated with cholangitis and persistent obstruction of the ampulla of Vater. There is controversy in severe presentation of ABP, since current evidence does not definitely show the usefulness of early ERCP. No more complications related to ERCP have been reported in this situation.


Desde hace más de 20 años se discute la indicación de la colangiopancreatografía retrógrada endoscópica (CPRE) precoz (antes de 72 h del inicio de los síntomas) en la pancreatitis aguda biliar (PAB), buscando detener el proceso inflamatorio, disminuyendo sus complicaciones y su mortalidad, tomando en cuenta que la CPRE puede ser causa de pancreatitis y otras complicaciones como perforación y hemorragia. Para dilucidar este problema se han realizado múltiples meta-análisis basados en los mismos 3 ó 5 estudios aleatorizados y controlados de CPRE precoz versus el tratamiento convencional (que incluye CPRE electiva) en PAB, los cuales han dado resultados discordantes. En lo que hay acuerdo es en que no está indicada en la PAB leve y sí está indicada en la PAB asociada a colangitis y a obstrucción persistente de la ampolla de Vater. En la PAB de presentación grave hay controversia; la evidencia actual no demuestra en forma definitiva la utilidad de una CPRE precoz. No se ha reportado mayor número de complicaciones relacionadas a la CPRE en esta situación.

ABSTRACT

Endoscopic retrograde biliary drainage (ERBD) is useful for the palliative decompression of biliary obstruction. However, the complications of ERBD include cholangitis, hemorrhage, acute pancreatitis, obstruction of the stent, and duodenal perforation. Pressure necrosis on the duodenal mucosa by the stent may contribute to perforation. Although duodenal perforation following ERBD is very rare compared to other complications, it can result in a fatal outcome. Recent reports describe nonsurgical treatment for small gastrointestinal perforation with localized peritonitis and suggest that endoclipping may be appropriate in the management of a well selected group of patients with iatrogenic perforation. We describe a case of duodenal perforation secondary to ERBD that was successfully treated with approximating using endoclip and detachable snare.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCION: La proteína C reactiva (PCR) es un examen simple y de bajo costo que según la literatura tiene buena asociación para la evaluación pronóstica en Pancreatitis Aguda (PA). OBJETIVO: Determinar valor pronóstico de PCR para severidad, presencia de complicaciones y mortalidad intrahospitalaria de PA. MATERIAL Y METODO: Estudio de cohorte retrospectiva de pacientes adultos ingresados al Hospital Dr. Gustavo Fricke, Viña del Mar durante el año 2007. Se identificaron características generales, etiología, score de Balthazar, PCR, complicaciones y mortalidad. Se utilizó test de Mann Whitney para comparación de medianas y curvas ROC. RESULTADOS: Se incluyeron 59 pacientes, siendo el 54,23 por ciento hombres. La mediana de edad fue 51 años. La etiología biliar se observó en 57,62 por ciento. La mediana de hospitalización fueron 12 días. El 40,67 por ciento presentó complicaciones, siendo más frecuente la necrosis pancreática (20,33 por ciento). El nivel de PCR mostró diferencias significativas entre pacientes con y sin gravedad imagenológica (33,5mg/dL vs 15,9mg/dL, p=0,0009), complicaciones intrahospitalarias (40mg/dL vs 15,9mg/dL, p<0,0001) y mortalidad intrahospitalaria (66mg/dL vs 22mg/dL, p=0,0061). El área bajo la curva ROC fue de 0,75; 0,84 y 0,91 respectivamente, todos estadísticamente significativos. La sensibilidad, especificidad, likelihood ratio (LR) positivo, LR negativo para gravedad imagenológica con un punto de corte de 13,14mg/dL fue 88 por ciento, 54 por ciento, 1,83 y 0,28 respectivamente. Para predecir mortalidad con un valor de 32,76mg/dL, estos fueron 100 por ciento, 71 por ciento, 3,43 y 0 respectivamente. DISCUSION. Un valor de PCR de 40mg/dL es buen marcador pronóstico de complicaciones intrahospitalarias. Niveles aumentados tienen alta sensibilidad para predecir gravedad imagenológica y mortalidad intrahospitalaria.


INTRODUCTION: C-reactive protein (CRP) is a simple and low price test with good association in acute pancreatitis (AP) prognosis evaluation. OBJECTIVE: To determine predictive value of PCR for severity, complications and hospital mortality of AP. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective cohort study of adult patients admitted to Dr. Gustavo Fricke Hospital, Viña del Mar in 2007. General characteristics, etiology, Balthazar score, CRP, and mortality rates were identified. Mann Whitney U test for comparison of medians and ROC curves were used for the analysis. RESULTS: 59 patients were included, 54.23 percent were males. The median age was 51 years. The biliary etiology was observed in 57.62 percent. The average hospitalization period was 12days. Complications were observed in 40.67 percent, being pancreatic necrosis the most frequent one (20.33 percent). The CRP level showed significant differences between patients with and without imaging severity (33.5 mg/dL vs 15.9 mg/dL, p=0.0009), hospital complications (40mg/dL vs 15.9mg/dL, p<0,0001) and hospital mortality (66mg/dL vs 22mg/dL, p=0.0061). The area under the ROC curve was 0.75, 0.84 and 0.91 respectively, all statistically significant. The sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio (LR), negative LR gravity imaging with a cut off of 13.14 mg/dL was 88 percent, 54 percent, 1.83 and 0.28 respectively. To predict mortality with a value of 32.76 mg/dL, they were 100 percent, 71 percent, 3.43 and 0 respectively. DISCUSSION: The 40mg/dL CRP value is a good prognostic marker of hospital complications. Increased level has high sensitivity to predict imaging severity and hospital mortality.

ABSTRACT

RACIONAL: Pancreatites agudas de causas alcoólica ou biliar podem necessitar de abordagens terapêuticas diferentes. OBJETIVO: Verificar a validade da relação lipase/amilase em diferenciar as causas alcoólica ou biliar na pancreatite aguda/pancreatite crônica agudizada. MÉTODOS: Foram avaliados nove pacientes com pancreatite aguda/pancreatite crônica agudizada alcoólica, todos homens, com idade média (desvio padrão) de 39,8 ± 7,0 anos (grupo I) e 29 com pancreatite aguda biliar, sendo 8 homens e 21 mulheres, com idade média de 43,6 ± 19,9 anos (grupo II). As amilasemias e lipasemias foram determinadas em pacientes com sintomatologia há, no máximo, 48 horas. A relação lipase/amilase foi calculada utilizando-se valores de amilasemia e lipasemia expressas como múltiplos de seus respectivos valores superiores de referência. RESULTADOS: As médias das lipasemias (4.814 ± 3.670 U/L) e amilasemias (1.282 ± 777 U/L) no grupo I foram semelhantes às do grupo II (2.697 ± 2.391 e 1.878 ± 1.319 U/L, respectivamente), mas a média das relações lipase/amilase foi significantemente maior no grupo I (4,4 ± 3,6) do que no grupo II (2,2 ± 2,2). Relação lipase/amilase >3 foi significantemente mais freqüente no grupo I (66,7 por cento) do que no grupo II (24,1 por cento) e diferenciou os dois grupos com sensibilidade de 67 por cento e especificidade de 76 por cento. CONCLUSÕES: 1) as amilasemias e lipasemias não diferenciaram os dois grupos avaliados; 2) relação lipase/amilase >3 é mais freqüente na pancreatite aguda/pancreatite crônica agudizada alcoólica do que na pancreatite aguda biliar, e pode ser útil na diferenciação destas duas causas de pancreatite.


BACKGROUND: Alcoholic or biliary acute pancreatitis may need different therapeutic approaches. AIM: Assessing the validity of lipase/amylase ratio in differentiating biliary from alcoholic acute pancreatitis/acutized chronic pancreatitis. METHODS: Nine male patients (mean age and standard deviation: 39.8 ± 7.0 years) with alcoholic acute pancreatitis/acutized chronic pancreatitis (group I) and 29 patients, 8 male and 21 female (mean age: 43.6 ± 19.9 years), with biliary acute pancreatitis (group II) were evaluated. Serum lipase and amylase levels were measured in patients with symptoms for no more than 48 hours. The lipase/amylase ratio was calculated based on serum lipase and amylase levels and expressed as multiples of their respective superior reference values. RESULTS: Mean levels of serum lipase (4,814 ± 3,670 U/L) and amylase (1,282 ± 777 U/L) in patients of group I were comparable to group II (2,697 ± 2,391 and 1,878 ± 1,319 U/L, respectively), but the mean lipase/amylase ratio was significantly higher in group I (4.4 ± 3.6) than in group II (2.2 ± 2.2). Lipase/amylase ratio >3 occurred at significantly higher proportions in patients of group I (66.7 percent) than of group II (24.1 percent), differentiating the two groups with sensitivity of 67 percent and specificity of 76 percent. CONCLUSIONS: 1) Amylase and lipase serum levels did not differ in the two groups evaluated; 2) the lipase/amylase ratio >3 was more often seen in alcoholic acute pancreatitis/acutized chronic pancreatitis than biliary acute pancreatitis, and it may be useful in differentiating these two causes of pancreatitis.

ABSTRACT

Los procedimientos y técnicas quirúrgicas de las vías biliares se realizan para producir la mejoría y/o curación de los diferentes síndromes que las involucran. Sin embargo, siguen existiendo situaciones en las que el propio tratamiento quirúrgico es responsable directo de cuadros de morbilidad y mortalidad. Tipo de estudio: Descriptivo, retrospectivo, transversal, Objetivos: Conocer las complicaciones de la colecistectomía abierta; distribuir la incidencia y secuelas de las complicaciones posquirúrgicas en cada grupo etáreo. Metodología: Se realizó el estudio durante 6 meses con 223 pacientes a los que se les realizó colecistectomía abierta. Resultados: de éstos, sólo 16 pacientes se mostraron con complicaciones (7). Según el género, los pacientes masculinos fueron 10 (62) y las pacientes femeninas 6 (38). Las edades con mayor complicación fueron de 40 a 49 años (5 pacientes). Con respecto a las complicaciones, la hemorragia fue la mayor causa, con 5 pacientes. En conclusión, si bien existe una alta incidencia de pacientes, el número de casos complicados no es grande. Afortunadamente la morbilidad supera a la mortalidad y estas complicaciones pudieron ser diagnosticadas y tratadas. Conclusión: Aunque los métodos realizados en el acto quirúrgico y el cuidado postoperatorio que se lleva a cabo siguen siendo efectivos para la gran mayoría de pacientes, hay que considerar siempre la existencia de complicaciones.


Surgical procedures and techniques in bile ducts are carried out to obtain improvement and/or healing of syndromes involving bile ducts. Nevertheless, there are still situations in which the surgical treatment itself is the direct responsible of morbidity and mortality profiles. Type of study: Descriptive, retrospective, transverse. Objectives: To know the complications of open cholecystectomy, arrange the impact and after-effects of postoperative complications in each age group. Methodology: the study was made for 6 months with 223 patients to whom an open cholecystectomy was carried out. Results: only 16 patients had complications (7). Male patients: 10 (62). Female: 6 (38). Ages with greatest complications: 40 to 49 (5 patients). Among complications, Haemorrhage was the greatest cause: 5 patients. In conclusion, although there is a high incidence of patients, the amount of complicated cases is not big. Fortunately morbidity exceeds mortality and these complications were diagnosed and treated. Conclusion: Although methods used in surgery and postoperative care are still effective for most of patients, we must always regard the possibility of complications.

ABSTRACT

A case of biliary ascariasis associated with Chronic Calcific Pancreatitis of the tropics in a 50-year-old lady is reported. Although acute pancreatitis is a common complication of biliary ascariasis, there are no reports linking ascariasis to chronic pancreatitis. The association of these two entities in the present case is most probably coincidental as both these entities are not very uncommon in coastal Orissa.

ABSTRACT

Diseases of the biliary tract can get complicated by infection. Endotoxin may theoretically be responsible for damage to the gall bladder due to its numerous pathophysiological effects. The aim of the present study was to detect and semi-quantitate the amount of endotoxin present in the bacteriologically positive bile samples and to correlate the endotoxin levels with the clinical profile of the patients. One hundred patients with gall bladder diseases and with infected bile constituted the population for investigation. The clinical profile included presence of fever, jaundice, abdominal pain and gall bladder stones. Endotoxin detection and semi-quantitation in the bile samples were carried out using the Limulus amoebocyte assay: Of 100 infected bile samples investigated, 9 samples (9%) were positive for endotoxin ranging from 1.9 EU/ml to 15 EU/ml. Four of them had Klebsiella pneumoniae, 2 had Acinetobacter anitratus and one each of the remaining 3 samples was positive for (i) Escherichia coli and Serratia marcescens (ii) Pseudomonas aeruginosa and (iii) Salmonella enteritidis. The stool sample of the patient with S. enteritidis in the bile also grew the same microorganism. Statistical analysis showed a significant increase in the presence ofjaundice (p<0.05) and abdominal pain (p<0.01) in the endotoxin positive patients compared to the endotoxin negative ones. Hitherto this is the first report that investigated the endotoxin levels in the bile of patients with gall bladder and biliary tract diseases, along with their biliary bacterial profile. Further research is warranted on the effects of endotoxin on gall stone formation.

ABSTRACT

A retrospective study of 650 patients having biliary disease in Aden -private hospitals. They were admitted to the hospitals between 1993-1999. The female: male ratio is 3:1. The age distribution is similar to that in western countries Immediate surgery is the best method in the management of acute cholecystitis and empyema of the gall bladder. Mini cholecystectomy gives the highest acceptability rate from the patient and upper midline incision comes next if there is any difficulty or complications, which prevent the usage of the above procedure. Ultrasonography was the best method in investigating biliary system

ABSTRACT

La exploración quirúrgica de la vía biliar seguida de la instalación de una sonda de Kehr ha sido por años el tratamiento de elección de la colangitis aguda en los servicios de urgencia de nuestro país. Actualmente el drenaje endoscópico de la vía biliar se ha situado como la modalidad de elección dada su menor morbimortalidad. El objetivo del presente estudio es mostrar y analizar los resultados de la colangiografía endoscópica retrógrada (CPER) en el Hospital Clínico Regional de Valdivia en el tratamiento de la colangitis aguda. Se realiza un estudio retrospectivo mediante revisión de fichas clínicas en base a protocolo tipo de los pacientes intervenidos vía endoscópica con diagnóstico de colangitis aguda, entre los años 2004 y 2006 en dicho centro. Los datos fueron analizados mediante una planilla Excel. La serie está constituida por 70 pacientes, de los cuales el 62,9 por ciento corresponden a sexo femenino. La edad promedio corresponde a 70,4 años. Un 34,3 por ciento de los pacientes fue intervenido dentro de las primeras 24 horas de hospitalización. El tiempo de hospitalización total presentó una mediana de 5 días (1-19). La mediana del postoperatorio correspondió a 3 días (1-17). Un 91,4 por ciento de los pacientes es intervenido con diagnóstico preoperatorio de colangitis aguda, lo que se confirma en la totalidad de la muestra durante el procedimiento. A un 95,7 por ciento de los pacientes se les efectuó ecografía previa. Tomografía computada (TC) se realizó en un 5,7 por ciento de los casos y Colangioresonancia en un paciente (1,4 por ciento). Un 95,1 por ciento y un 77,1 por ciento de los pacientes presentó vía biliar dilatada ecográficamente y durante CPER respectivamente. En un 85,7 por ciento se confirma la presencia de coledocolitiasis. En un 1,7 por ciento no se logra la descompresión total de la vía biliar en un primer intento. En todos los casos se realizó tratamiento antibiótico, cuya mediana fue 10 días (2-17). No hubo complicaciones...

ABSTRACT

Stool examination is believed to be the most reliable method for detecting Clonorchis sinensis (CS) eggs. However, it has limited value for diagnosing clonorchiasis when the biliary tract is obstructed or when there is a light infection. We evaluated the infection states of CS in patients with biliary tract diseases using a bile sample. From January 2001 to August 2003, 238 patients who had undergone endoscopic biliary drainage were prospectively included in the study. The patients' bile samples were obtained directly from the nasobiliary drainage tube and then analyzed to detect CS eggs. The overall CS egg positive rate was 28.2% (35.4% in males, 19.4% in females). The egg positive rate was similar in all age groups examined: 26.7% in 30-39 years, 25.0% in 40-49 years, 24.4% in 50-59 years, 30.2% in 60-69 years, 35.3% in 70-79 years, and 25.0% in 80 years of age and over. There were no significant differences in the egg positive rate between the disease groups: 32.6% in bile duct cancer, 38.5% in gallbladder cancer, and 26.4% in gallstone diseases. Our results show that the CS infection rate was very high, regardless of the age, gender, and type of diseases of the patients. Although the study population was limited to patients with biliary tract diseases, it is assumed that clonorchiasis is still an endemic disease in Ulsan, Korea.

ABSTRACT

Urinary tract infections (UTI) are important hospital acquired entities, resulting in bacteriuria indicated by the presence of significant numbers of bacteria in the urine. This study examined the prevalence of bacteriuria in our patients with gallbladder diseases. Three hundred and forty eight patients with various gallbladder (GB) diseases were enrolled in our study. Routine bacteriological cultures of midstream urine specimens were done. Significant bacteriuria was defined as the growth of 105 or more organisms in pure culture per milliliter of urine. Forty four (12.6%) of the patients (18 symptomatic; 26 asymptomatic) showed bacteriuria. Escherichia coli was the predominant isolate followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococci and several others. Thus UTI is also a frequent concomitant of gall bladder diseases and is a sign of the fact that kidneys are in a condition endangered by pyelonephritis.

ABSTRACT

To evaluate the diagnostic value of MRCP in studying the sites and cause of obstructive jaundice in comparison with other imaging modalities at the Department of Radiology, Aga Khan University Hospital, from January 1999 to May 2001. Forty nine consecutive patients included 19 men and 30 women, suspected of obstructive jaundice. Patients underwent ultrasound [n=49], CT [n=11], ERCP [n=25] and biliary surgery [n=17]. Final diagnosis was established by surgical exploration, endoscopic sphincterectomy, cytology and clinical follow up. Of the 49 patients 17 had choledocholithiasis. Twenty five patients had malignant strictures, out of which 11 had non-specific malignant strictures, 7 had pancreatic carcinoma, 3 had Klatskin tumors, 3 had periampullary carcinoma and 1 had gallbladder carcinoma. Six patients had benign strictures and 1 patient had choledochal cyst. Overall, MRCP was sensitive [88%] and specific [96.8%] in detecting choledocholithiasis. MRCP sensitivity and specificity in detecting benign main bile duct stricture was equal to 83.3% and 97.6% respectively, and 92% and 100% for malignant stricture. Our prospective study confirms that MRCP, a noninvasive and well tolerated imaging technique is of value in the diagnosis of obstructive jaundice

ABSTRACT

Spontaneous perforation of the biliary tract is rare in infants & children with less than 100 cases reported in English Literature till date. We report two cases of this rare clinical entity in a 9-month-old boy and other of a 2-year old boy. Both patients presented with clinical features of acute peritonitis. Laparotomy revealed sterile biliary peritonitis with a normal cholangiogram in the infant and biliary perforation in other child. Simple drainage in the former and cholecystostomy with external biliary drainage in later resulted in a satisfactory outcome.

ABSTRACT

Usaremos ejemplos de esta patología pues son los más variados y complejos. En Argentina y Uruguay existe gran experiencia en ella. Los cirujanos de ambos países tuvimos muchos años de contacto e intercambio científico en afecciones biliares. El tratamiento de las lesiones iatrogénicas de la vía biliar principal se hacía mediante la reconstrucción anatómica de los conductos utilizando tutores de goma, primero el "hepaticus drainage" y luego el tubo en T inventado por Hans Kehr en 1914. Promediando el siglo pasado, los cirujanos de la Clínica Lahey, en Boston, perfeccionaron esta técnica utilizando un tubo más largo, transpapilar, para realizar sistemáticamente la reconstrucción del colédoco. Poco después el Prof. Jacques Hepp y sus discípulos de París mejoraron la técnica de la hepatoyeyunostomía de Roux que había sido utilizada por Monprofit a principios de siglo también en Francia, obteniendo excelentes resultados. Señalamos en nuestra conferencia que fue aplicada rápidamente en el continente europeo y en nuestros países pero tardó más de 20 años en ser empleada en las Islas Británicas y Estados Unidos. La aplicación del drenaje transhepático en el tratamiento de las estenosis biliares, primero con cirugía y luego con radiología, permitió resolver los casos más difíciles. Luego relataremos sumariamente diferentes situaciones que debimos resolver, todas ellas por sección inadvertida del hepático, sumadas, a veces, a otros errores técnicos al pretender tratarlas. Así referimos casos de estenosis, de anastomosis biliodigestivas, errores de montaje de asas yeyunales diverticulares, oblitos, graves fallas tácticas y coincidencias con otras patologías, a veces neoplásicas.

ABSTRACT

Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo y prospecto parcialmente, evaluando la incidencia, manejo y evolución de los pacientes con afección de las vías biliares en el período del primero de enero al primero diciembre del 2001. Se revisaron 374 expedientes clínicos que correspondieron al paciente con diagnóstico al egreso de algún tipo de algún tipo de afección de las vías biliares, se determinó que esta afección ocupa el III lugar de ingreso a la sala de cirugía teniendo epidemiologicamente que un 78 porciento o sea (293) correspondio al sexo femenino contra un 22 porciento (81) pacientes del sexo masculino, la forma clínica que predominó fue la colecistitis crónica litiasica agudizada para un 46.5 porciento 174 pacientes. El grupo etáreo de 35.44 para un 28.3 porciento. El cuadro clínico fue característico en la mayoría de los pacientes, dolor hipocondrio derecho, intolerancia a las grasas nauseas y vómitos que predominó en 312 pacientes para un 83.4 porciento. El manejo médico supero al quirúrgico en 266 pacientes para un 71.2 porciento cabe mencinar que la mayoría de intervenciones quirúrgicas fueron catalogadas como urgencias relativas ya que no se programaron para un evento quirúrgico por problemas administrativos en los quirófanos durante todo el año. El diagnóstico se hizo de manera clínica y por ultrasonido básicamente. Las complicaciones se dividieron en afecciones vías biliares complicadas y complicaciones postquirúrgicas, tomando que el índice total de complicaciones principalmente postquirúrgicos que no superaron el 15.7 porciento en pacientes intervenidos por afecciones de vías biliares complicadas, la mortalidad encontrada se reportaron dos casos que represento 0.5 porciento...

ABSTRACT

El traumatismo hepático se observa frecuentemente en el paciente con trauma abdominal y su mortalidad alcanza el 10 por ciento; los tipos de lesión qu se presenta son laceración, hematoma, lesión vascular según la clasificación de Moore y Shackford. Los principios del manejo quirúrgico inlcuyen medidas hemostáticas básicas como la aplicación de presión y electrocauterio. Sin embargo, la evolución tecnológica de la tomografía permitió el resurgimiento del manejo no operatorio y su predicción como terapia de manejo en este tipo de pacientes; su éxito se basa en la identificación adecuada de los mismos y en el seguimiento estricto de un protocolo preestablecido. La baja incidencia de complicaciones y mortalidad refleja la efectividad de esta terapia. Las lesiones de la vía biliar ocurren con baja frecuencia en el paciente traumatizado y la mayoría son el resultado de mecanismos penetrantes; son de difícil diagnóstico y llevan consigo una alta morbilidad
