ABSTRACT

El objetivo de este artículo es determinar si los factores socioeconómicos inciden en las complicaciones posoperatorias de la colecistectomía. Para ello, se definió realizar un estudio de tipo observacional, analítico y enfoque cuantitativo, en 100 pacientes en los que se les realizó colecistectomía. Se aplicó un modelo de regresión logística en el que se incorporaron como variables, factores de riesgo, características socioeconómicas, junto con una variable de control. Se aplicaron tres modelos con variables dependientes alternativas que están delimitadas por el tipo de complicación posoperatoria registrado. Los resultados encontrados mostraron que las mujeres manifiestan un mayor riesgo de presentar complicaciones posteriores a la colecistectomía, igual ocurre en los pacientes de mayor edad. Asimismo el riesgo es mucho menor en las personas con niveles de educación superior y en los pacientes en los que se realizó colecistectomía laparoscópica, alcanzando solo un 5% de riesgo de presentar complicaciones. Las complicaciones posoperatorias luego de la colecistectomía se minimizan al emplear la técnica laparoscópica y los factores socioeconómicos incidirían en el riesgo de padecer complicaciones posoperatorias luego de dicha cirugía, lo que la convierte a la colecistectomía laparoscópica en una operación segura y con muchos otros beneficios y ventajas sobre la cirugía tradicional o convencional.


The article ́s goal isto determine if socioeconomic factors influence the postoperative complications of cholecystectomy. For this, the observational study was defined, analytical and quantitative study was conducted in 100 patients who underwent cholecystectomy. A logistic regression model was applied in which risk factors, socioeconomic characteristics, along with a control variable, were incorporated as variables. Three models were run with alternative dependent variables that are delimited by the type of postoperative complication recorded. The results found showed that women show a higher risk of presenting complications after cholecystectomy, the same occurs in older patients. Likewise, the risk is much lower in people with higher education levels and in patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy, they only have a 5% risk of presenting complications. Postoperative complications after cholecystectomy are minimized by using the laparoscopic technique and socioeconomic factors would influence the risk of suffering postoperative complications after said surgery, which makes laparoscopic cholecystectomy a safe operation with many other benefits and advantages over traditional or conventional surgery.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: This study was undertaken to examine the correlation between age and gender and the presence of ultrasound findings of acute or chronic cholecystitis in adult patients with cholelithiasis. METHOD: The demographic data of all patients diagnosed with cholelithiasis and cholecystitis on ultrasound between January 1, 2002 and December 31, 2006 were reviewed and statistically analysed. RESULTS: Five hundred adults, 373 females (74.6%) and 127 males (25.4%), were diagnosed with cholelithiasis during the five-year period. Ages ranged from 18 to 94 years with a median age of 47 years. The diagnosis of cholecystitis was equivocal in 11 patients. Of the remaining 489, 22.1% (108) were diagnosed as positive for cholecystitis by ultrasound, the remaining 77.9% (381) being negative. No association was found between gender and cholecysytitis in bivariate analysis, (χ² = 1.82, df =1, p = 0.177). A statistically significant relation was found between age group category and ultrasound-determined cholecystitis status (χ² = 32.58, df = 4, p < 0.001). Higher proportions of persons in the 20-39-year (40.9%) and 40-59-year (20.4%) age groups had cholecystitis on ultrasound examination compared to other age categories where corresponding rates were approximately 11% or less. CONCLUSION: Patients 60 years or older who were diagnosed with cholelithiasis on ultrasound examination were less likely to have cholecystitis than younger patients.


OBJETIVO: Este estudio fue emprendido para examinar la correlación entre edad y género, y los hallazgos en ultrasonidos de colecistitis aguda o crónica en pacientes adultos con colelitiasis. MÉTODO: Se revisaron y analizaron estadísticamente los datos demográficos de todos los pacientes diagnosticados con colelitiasis y colecistitis a partir de ultrasonidos realizados entre el enero 1 de 2002 y diciembre 31 de 2006. RESULTADOS: Quinientos adultos - 373 hembras (74.6%) y 127 varones (25.4%) - fueron diagnosticados con colelitiasis durante el periodo de cinco años. Las edades fluctuaron de 18 a 94 con una edad mediana de 47 años. El diagnóstico de colecistitis fue equívoco en 11 pacientes. De los restantes 489, 22.1% (108) fueron diagnosticados positivos a la colecistitis por ultrasonido, resultando los restantes 7.9% (381) negativos. No se halló ninguna asociación entre el género y la colecistitis en el análisis bivariado, (χ² = 1.82, df =1, p = 0.177). Se halló una relación estadísticamente significativa entre la categoría del grupo etario y la condición de colecistitis determinada por el ultrasonido (χ² = 32.58, df = 4, p < 0.001). Las proporciones más altas de personas en los grupos de edad de 20 - 39 años (40.9%) y 40 - 59 años (20.4%) tenían colecistitis al ser examinadas con ultrasonido, comparadas a otras categorías de edad en las que las tasas correspondientes fueron aproximadamente 11% o menos. CONCLUSIÓN: Los pacientes de 60 o más años de edad, a quienes se les diagnosticó colelitiasis en el examen de ultrasonido, presentaban menos probabilidad de tener colecistitis que los pacientes más jóvenes.

ABSTRACT

The term [acute abdomen] denotes any sudden spontaneous non-traumatic disorder whose chief manifestation is in the abdominal area. There is frequently a progressive underlying intra-abdominal disorder, the correct early diagnosis and treatment of which is essential for a favorable outcome. [I] To find out the most common causes of acute abdomen. [II] To compare the preoperative assessment with postoperative diagnosis. A Non-interventional Analytical [Comparative] study. Emergency department of Combined Military Hospital Kharian. Oct 2001 to Mar 2002. Total of 220 patients who presented with acute abdomen. The most frequent cause was found to be Acute Appendicitis, followed by Nonspecific abdominal pain, acute cholecystitis, acute intestinal obstruction and perforated duodenal ulcer. Preoperative diagnosis was wrong in 9.5% [n=21] of cases. Acute appendicitis was found to be the most common cause of acute abdomen and the single most important cause of acute abdominal pain causing great diagnostic difficulties, the preoperative diagnostic accuracy can be increased especially in female of child bearing age by using modern diagnostic tools especially laparoscopy

ABSTRACT

La Colecistitis Xantogranulomatosa (CXG) es una rara enfermedad inflamatoria de la vesícula biliar, variedad de la colecistitis crónica. El objetivo de este estudio fue describir las características clínicas y epidemiológicas de una serie de pacientes con éste diagnóstico. De un total de 1486 colecistectomías realizadas entre los años 2004 y 2006 se encontraron 48 casos de CXG (3,23% del total). La mayoría corresponde a mujeres (67,4%) con 53,5 años de edad promedio. El cuadro clínico fue similar al de la colecistitis crónica, con un tiempo de evolución que varió de 1 semana a 10 años. 19% de los pacientes refirieron antecedentes de Ictericia, aunque en sólo 1 de ellos había dilatación de la vía biliar en la Ecografía. Todos eran portadores de cálculos en la vesícula biliar, la cual fue la principal indicación quirúgica. En 4 de ellos se sospechó la presencia de Cáncer Vesicular por imagenología y en 8 por las características macroscópicas de la vesícula biliar durante la cirugía. Sólo en un paciente coexistió CXG y Adenocarcinoma de la Vesícula Biliar. El diagnóstico de CXG no fue planteado en ninguno de los casos. Ésta es una patología de baja prevalencia y difícil diagnóstico. Su incidencia en esta serie fue mayor a la reportada por otros estudios. Clínicamente es difícil diferenciarla de la colecistitis crónica y frecuentemente se confunde con Cáncer vesicular. Ambos diagnósticos pueden coexistir, lo que ocurrió en nuestra serie en el 2,17%. No hubo diferencia significativa en la frecuencia de Adenocarcinoma de Vesícula biliar entre los pacientes con CXG y aquellos con otro tipo de Colecistitis crónica.


Xanthogranulomatous Cholecystitis (XGC) is a rare inflammatory disease of the gallbladder, variant of Chronic Cholecystitis. The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiology and clinical data of one series of patients with this diagnosis. Of a total of 1486 cholecystectomies performed between 2004 and 2006, we found 48 cases of XGC (3.23% of total). The most of them were women (67.4%) with an average age of 53.5 years. The clinical history was similar to Chronic Cholecystitis with a variable duration of the symptoms, from 1 week to 10 years. 19% of the patients had antecedents of Obstructive Jaundice, although just one had dilatation of the choledocus at ultrasound. All the patients had Cholelithiasis, the mayor reason for surgery. Four of our cases had findings on ultrasound examination suggestive of carcinoma of gallbladder and at operation in eight patients the appearances of the gallbladder resembled carcinoma to the surgeons. In none of them the diagnosis was confirm and just in one patient was found association between XGC and gallbladder cancer, without previous suspicion. The diagnosis of XGC was never suspected. This is an uncommon entity with difficult diagnosis. The incidence in our study was higher than other reports. Clinically is hard to distinguish from Chronic Cholecystitis, and is often confused with Gall Bladder Carcinoma. As other authors support, both diagnosis can coexist, what occurred in 2.17% of the patients in our series. There was no significant difference in the frequency of Gall Bladder Carcinoma between the patients with CXG and those with another type of chronic Cholecystitis.

ABSTRACT

This study was conducted to assess cholestasis in human fascioliasis. Twenty five patients, passing Fasciola eggs, were compared to twenty age- and sex-matched healthy controls. All were subjected to thorough clinical examination, stool analysis, complete blood picture, liver function tests [AST, ALT, SAP, GGT and total serum bilirubin]. Autoimmune and viral hepatitis [HCV and HBV] were excluded. All cases were subjected to radiological examinations [chest X-ray and abdominal ultrasonography]. The study revealed significant elevation of liver enzymes in the patients compared to the controls. Calcular and non-calcular cholecystitis were common findings among patients [32% and 24%, respectively]. Ascites [4%] and dilated intrahepatic biliary radicals [32%] were encountered; pleural effusion was detected by chest X-ray in 20% of cases. So, fascioliasis should be considered in the diagnosis of cholestasis in Fasciola endemic areas

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Determinar el tratamiento de la colecistitis aguda alitiásica durante el curso de la fiebre tifoidea en niños. Material y métodos: Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo de 10 pacientes que presentaron colecistitis aguda alitiásica durante el curso de la fiebre tifoidea, entre junio de 1992 a mayo de 1997, en el Instituto de Salud del Niño. Resultados: Seis pacientes fueron de sexo masculino y cuatro de sexo femenino, cuyas edades fluctuaron entre los 2 años y 6 meses hasta los 15 años de edad. La colecistitis se presentó mayormente en la primera semana del curso de la fiebre tifoidea. La sintomatología fue caracterizada por presentar fiebre, dolor abdominal, diarrea, vómitos, ictericia y masa palpable. A cuatro pacientes se les realizó colecistostomía, 3 pacientes colecistectomía y 3 no fueron operados; 2 de ellos recibieron tratamiento médico con seguimiento a través de ultrasonografía. Los 10 pacientes recibieron cloramfenicol por 14 días. La complicación postoperatoria se presentó en 2 pacientes, uno obstrucción intestinal por adherencias y otro absceso residual. Conclusión: la colecistitis aguda es una entidad poco común en niños, y su complicación en el curso de la fiebre tifoidea es rara. La decisión quirúrgica es mandatoria en casi todos los pacientes, por el riesgo de que el paciente se convierta en un portador sano y/o por la posibilidad de perforación vesicula. En aquellos pacientes que no se realiza tratamiento quirúrgico se recomienda manejo médico con seguimiento a través de ultrasonografía hasta la resolución de la enfermedad.

ABSTRACT

Cholecystectomy, mostly due to cholelithiasis is one of the most common surgical procedures utilizing a significant amount of healthcare resources. As there are a huge number of cases, for example approximately 300 cases per year in our region, outlines this commonly encountered lesion should be recorded. Also, in an attempt to delineate the outline of the pattern, age and sex distribution of gallbladder diseases in the whole Kingdom, a comparative analysis is also included in this study with 7 other studies published from different parts of the Kingdom. Our study consisted of 740 consecutive gallbladder cholecyctectomies mostly for cholelithiasis received in a time frame of 3.5 years [for example between January 1997 through to May 2000] by the Department of Histopathology retrieved from the records of the laboratory. The outline of main gallbladder pathologies was tabulated. The number of gallbladders received with stones was also calculated. Age and sex distribution for gallbladder pathology and gallstones was also tabulated. There were 131 males [18%] and 609 [82%] females, with a female ratio male 4.6:1. Benign lesions comprised 99% [mean age 36], mostly chronic cholecyctitis [97%] and acute cholecystitis which constituted 15 cases only [2%], malignant lesions comprised only 7 cases for example 1% of all lesions [mean age 65]. Gallbladder pathologies are very common and similar results have been obtained from other studies by comparative analysis. The mean cholecystectomy rates in the Kingdom totalled approximately 10%, mean age for all cholecystectomy diseases in both sexes equalled 37.05. The mean age for males was 42.26, females 37.25 and their ratio was 44.5:1

ABSTRACT

Present study has been undertaken to know the causative factors responsible for change in trend of gall-stone disease from middle aged, fertile, fat females to young asthenic females in twenties. Our findings reveal high incidence of gall stone formation in non-obese young females. Average fat consumption in non-obese patients was less (17%) than that of obese (26%). However, use of oral contraceptives was high in non-obese females and maximum users were in young age group while in obese in middle age group. Bilirubin content in gall bladder stones of non-obese was significantly more than that of obese (p < 0.01) whereas cholesterol content in gall bladder stones of obese was significantly high when compared to non-obese subjects. Analysis of bile showed significant increase in bilirubin and calcium level of non-obese when compared to control and obese subjects whereas phosphorus levels were significantly decreased in the bile of non obese subjects. These findings suggest that in non-obese females less intake of fat, early use of oral contraceptives, higher contents of bilirubin and calcium and low content of phosphorus in bile may be responsible for gall stone formation.

ABSTRACT

Ninety two patients with cholelithiasis (57 female), aged 15 to 80 years old and that were not operated, were followed during a period of 9 to 14 years. Thirteen patients were initially asymptomatic. Of them, seven had complications or symptoms during follow up and 2 were operated. Among the 69 symptomatic patients, 38 (55 percent) were not operated and 17 (25 percent) did not have symptoms again. Ten patients died during follow up, 4 due to complications of biliary tract stones. The present finding suggest that the evolution of cholelithiasis in Chile is more aggressive than abroad and an early surgical treatment is warranted

ABSTRACT

Se analizan los resultados del tratamiento quirúrgico de la colecistitis aguda en 291 pacientes operados por laparotomía y 43 por vía laparoscópica. La relación hombre/mujer hallada fue de 2/3 y la edad promedio de 53,7 años. El 12% se operó con alguna complicación (la más común fue el coleperitoneo en el 7,2% de los casos). Cuando se empleó la laparotomía o colecistectomía incompleta en el 6,2% de los casos; con la vía laparoscópica debió convertirse a cielo abierto en el 6,5%. Con laparostomía se constataron 9 accidentes intraoperatorios (3,1%); se complicaron 39 pacientes (13,3%) y fallecieron 8(2,6%). En la vía laparoscópica no hubo accidentes ni mortalidad y se complicó un caso (2,4%). La mortalidad en relación a la forma anatomopatológica fue significativamente mayor para la grangrenosa (p<0,05); en cambio no lo fue en relación a enfermedades asociadas, la edad y el tiempo de evolución. Se controlaron 177 casos, comprobándose 7,2% de complicaciones alejadas (litiasis residual, eventraciones)

ABSTRACT

Se analiza retrospectivamente la Colecistopatía crónica alitiásica, entre los años 1987 a 1989, en el servicio de Cirugía del Hospital Valparaiso. La frecuencia de Colecistopatía Crónica Alitiásica (CCA) sobre el total de colecistectomía fue de 4,49% (84 de 1.914). Se logran estudiar 64 fichas con esta patología, el estudio demostró predominio de presentación en mujeres (70,2%) y promedio de edad general de la muestra de 45 años. La clínica corresponde principalmente a cólicos biliares y/o dispepsia biliar (92,2%). Se analiza y se discute la eficacia de los exámenes radiológicos-imagenológicos en estos pacientes. El estudio anatomopatológico revela a la colesterolosis de la vesícula biliar como principal alteración histológica en nuestra muestra (44%). La evolución postoperatoria fue buena o regular en el 96,4% de los pacientes. Se plantea el manejo de estos pacientes y la colecistectomía como tratamiento de elección en esta patología y se discute acerca de la posibilidad de que la CCA constituya un estado prelitiásico

ABSTRACT

Xanthogranulomatous Cholecystitis (XGC) is an uncommon inflammatory disease. In a retrospective analysis of 159 cholecystectomy specimens revealed 21 cases of diffuse and focal XGC with an overall incidence of 13.2 per cent. The age distribution was identical to those of traditional chronic cholecystitis with female predominance (M:F ratio 1:4). Gallstones were seen in 15 cases with marked thickening of the gall bladder on ultrasonography. In one case it falsely diagnosed as carcinoma on ultrasonographic examination, however, histopathologically it was turned out to be XGC. One case of XGC was associated with adenocarcinoma of gall bladder. The incidence of diffuse XGC was 5.66 per cent, whereas incidence of focal XGC was 7.54 per cent amongst chronic cholecystitis.

ABSTRACT

Trece enfermos, 5 hombres y 8 mujeres, fueron operados en la U.A.B.entre 1981 y 1983 por C.A.A. Nueve de estos enfermos tenían asociados factores predisponentes, 4 enfermos tenían síntomas muy sugerentes de padecer enfermedad biliar litiásica, pero no fue comprobada la litiasis en la operación. Se usaron los más variados test diagnósticos preoperatorios, siendo muy alta la incidencia de diagnósticos incorrectos. A todos los enfermos se les practicó colecistectomía con colangiografía intraoperatoria. Alta mortalidad se encontró en este cuadro, 15%. Se estudia la utilidad de los exámenes complementarios y de laboratorio en el diagnóstico preoperatorio. Se analiza toda la literatura, poniendo especial énfasis en algunos factores etiológicos. Se proponen medidas agresivas para el tratamiento de esta entidad
