Evaluación de la seguridad y satisfacción de los pacientes en un programa de colecistectomía laparoscópica ambulatoria con criterios expandidos / Evaluation of patient safety and satisfaction in a program of ambulatory laparoscopic cholecystectomy program with expanded criteria

Introducción: Los buenos resultados obtenidos con la implementación de los programas de colecistectomía laparoscópica ambulatoria han llevado a la ampliación de los criterios iniciales de inclusión. Como objetivo principal planteamos evaluar los resultados y el grado de satisfacción de los pacientes incluidos en un programa de colecistectomía laparoscópica sin ingreso, con criterios expandidos. Métodos: Estudio observacional de una cohorte de 260 pacientes intervenidos de colecistectomía laparoscópica ambulatoria entre abril del 2013 y marzo del 2016 en un hospital de tercer nivel. Clasificamos a los pacientes en 2 grupos en función del cumplimiento de los criterios iniciales de inclusión del programa ambulatorio. El grupo I (criterios restrictivos) incluye a 164 pacientes, mientras que, en el grupo II, se incluyen 96 pacientes (criterios expandidos: no cumplían alguno de los criterios de selección). Comparamos el tiempo quirúrgico, la tasa de ingresos no deseados, tasa de conversión, reintervenciones, mortalidad y el índice de satisfacción. Resultados: El porcentaje global de éxito de la colecistectomía laparoscópica ambulatoria fue del 92,8%. La causa más frecuente de ingresos no esperados fue por causas médicas. No se objetivaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los 2 grupos en la duración del procedimiento quirúrgico, en la tasa de conversión a cirugía abierta, ni en el número de complicaciones mayores posquirúrgicas. Cumplimentaron la encuesta el 88,5% de los pacientes, no encontrando diferencias entre los 2 grupos en el índice de satisfacción de los pacientes. La calificación global del proceso fue significativamente mejor en el grupo ii (p = 0,023). Conclusiones: La colecistectomía laparoscópica ambulatoria es un procedimiento seguro y con una buena aceptación por parte del grupo de pacientes con criterios expandidos que fueron incluidos en el programa de cirugía sin ingreso

Introduction: The good results obtained with the implementation of ambulatory laparoscopic cholecystectomy programs have led to the expansion of the initial inclusion criteria. The main objective was to evaluate the results and the degree of satisfaction of the patients included in a program of laparoscopic cholecystectomy without admission, with expanded criteria. Methods: Observational study of a cohort of 260 patients undergoing ambulatory laparoscopic cholecystectomy between April 2013 and March 2016 in a third level hospital. We classified the patients into 2 groups based on compliance with the initial inclusion criteria of the outpatient program. Group I (restrictive criteria) includes 164 patients, while in group II (expanded criteria) we counted 96 patients. We compared the surgical time, the rate of failures in ambulatory surgery, rate of conversion, reinterventions and mortality and the satisfaction index. Results: The overall success rate of ambulatory laparoscopic cholecystectomy was 92.8%. The most frequent cause of unexpected income was for medical reasons. There was no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups for total surgery time, the rate of conversion to open surgery and the number of major postoperative complications Do not demostrate differences in surgical time, nor in the number of perioperative complications (major complications 1,2%), or the number of failures in ambulatory surgery, nor the number of readmissions between both groups. There was no death. 88.5% of patients completed the survey, finding no differences between both groups in the patient satisfaction index. The overall score of the process was significantly better in group ii(P=.023). Conclusions: Ambulatory laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a safe procedure with a good acceptance by patients with expanded criteria who were included in the surgery without admission program

Elaboración de un score predictivo preoperatorio de coledocolitiasis / Design of a preoperative predictive score for choledocholithiasis

INTRODUCCIÓN: La coledocolitiasis es la causa más común de ictericia obstructiva y ocurre en un 5-10% de los pacientes que presentan colelitiasis. OBJETIVOS: Elaboración un modelo predictivo preoperatorio de coledocolitiasis. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Estudio prospectivo de 556 pacientes ingresados en nuestros servicios por patología biliar. Análisis comparativo de variables preoperatorias clínicas, analíticas y ecográficas de los pacientes sin coledocolitiasis frente a las de los 65 pacientes con dicho hallazgo. Análisis multivariante de regresión logística para obtener un modelo predictivo de coledocolitiasis, determinando sensibilidad, especificidad, valores predictivos positivo (VPP) y negativo (VPN). RESULTADOS: Los factores predictivos de coledocolitiasis fueron la existencia de historia biliar previa (antecedentes de cólicos biliares, colecistitis, coledocolitiasis o pancreatitis aguda biliar) (p = 0,021; OR = 2.225; IC 95%: 1.130-4.381), las cifras de BT al ingreso superior a 4 mg/dl (p = 0,046; OR = 2.403; IC 95%: 1.106-5.685), el valor de la FA al ingreso superior a 150 mg/dl (p = 0.022; OR = 2.631; IC 95%: 1.386-6.231), cifras de la GGT superiores a 100 (p = 0,035; OR = 2,10; IC 95%: 1.345-5.850), y el hallazgo ecográfico de dilatación de la vía biliar (p = 0,034; OR = 3.063; IC 95%: 1.086-8.649). Un score superior a 5 conlleva una especificidad y VPP de 100% para detectar coledocolitiasis, y un score inferior a 3, una sensibilidad y un VPN del 100% para descartarla. CONCLUSIONES: El score obtenido descarta o confirma preoperatoriamente la existencia de coledocolitiasis, y permite al paciente beneficiarse directamente de la colecistectomía laparoscópica (CL) o de la realización previa de colangiopancreatografía retrógrada endoscópica (CPRE)

INTRODUCTION: Choledocholithiasis is the most common cause of obstructive jaundice and occurs in 5-10% of patients with cholelithiasis. OBJECTIVES: To design a preoperative predictive score for choledocholithiasis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A prospective study was carried out in 556 patients admitted to our department for biliary disease. Preoperative clinical, laboratory, and ultrasound variables were compared between patients without choledocholithiasis and 65 patients with this diagnosis. A multivariate logistic analysis was performed to obtain a predictive model of choledocholithiasis, determining sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV). RESULTS: Predictors of choledocholithiasis were the presence of a prior history of biliary disease (history of biliary colic, acute cholecystitis, choledocholithiasis or acute biliary pancreatitis) (p=0.021, OR=2.225, 95% CI: 1.130-4.381), total bilirubin values >4mg/dl (p=0.046, OR=2.403, 95% CI: 1.106-5.685), alkaline phosphatase values >150mg/dl (p=0.022 income, OR=2.631, 95%: 1.386-6.231), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) values >100mg/dl (p=0.035, OR=2.10, 95% CI: 1.345-5.850), and an ultrasound finding of biliary duct >8mm (p=0.034, OR=3.063 95% CI: 1086-8649). A score superior to 5 had a specificity and PPV of 100% for detecting choledocholithiasis and a score less than 3 had a sensitivity and NPV of 100% for excluding this diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS: The preoperative score can exclude or confirm the presence of choledocholithiasis and allows patients to directly benefit from laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) or prior endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)
