BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is usual method for the treatment of gall bladder stone disease and is practiced all over the world due to many benefits like fasten the recovery time. Furthermore, it reduced the post-operative pain and period of hospital stay. To conduct Surgical Audit and evaluate safety of Laparoscopic cholecystectomy. METHODOLGY: This prospective study was conducted in a private hospital at Hyderabad during free camps of Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. Four camps were arranged in 2016 - 2019. Total number of 190 patients  underwent Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy during the study period. The patient's age falls between 12–65 years. A detailed history, relevant investigation and Cardiac fitness were evaluated. All patients underwent four ports Lap-Chole. Data was collected assessed and audit was performed and safety was evaluated. RESULTS: Total 190 patients operated females 88.45% and males 11.55%. 115 (60.50%)were in  the range of 30-35 years followed by 55 (28.95%)patients in the range of 40-50 years.8 (4.20%) patients were converted to open cholecystectomy, 4 due to bleeding from liver bed, 3 patients due to difficult dissection in calots triangle and 1 due to Empyema of gall bladder.10 patients (5.50%) had Trocar site bleeding, 10 patients (5.50%) had gall bladder injury, in 4 cases had spillage of stones and 72 patients (38.50%) developed umbilical port site infection 1 patient develop port site hernia. No mortality was recorded in this study. CONCLUSION: Our Surgical Audit proves that Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is a safe procedure on the basis of only 4.2% intra operative and 5.5% postoperative complications and gaining wide spread popularity among our population due to less pain, less hospital stay. We recommend other private hospitals to extent such services to our poor population with symptomatic cholelithiasis.

Gall bladder injuries are seen in 2% of patients undergoing laparotomy for blunt trauma abdomen. Isolated gall bladder injury is a rare event with associated presence of stones is even rarer. The associated visceral injuries lead to intraoperative identification in most cases. Here we present a case of 30 years old male with isolated gall bladder laceration following blunt abdominal trauma. The diagnosis of gallbladder perforation after blunt injury may be suspected in patients with signs of an acute abdomen and hypotension that is not explained by blood loss. Early suspicion and prompt exploration is imperative. Cholecystectomy is an adequate treatment for the condition.

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy may be rendered difficult by various problems encountered during surgery, such as difficulty in accessing the peritoneal cavity, creating a pneumoperitonium, dissecting the gall bladder, pericholecystic adhesions and adhesions between the common bile duct the cystic duct and the cystic artery (calot’s triangle) or extracting the excised gall bladder, injury to common bile duct, bowel and iliac vessels. These conditions may lead surgeons to perform conventional open cholecystectomy.Methods: The general biodata was collected. A detailed history was taken with special reference to duration of right upper quadrant pain or epigastric pain, its periodicity, its aggravation by fatty meals and relief by oral or parental analgesics. Fever, jaundice or any previous attacks of cholecystitis. A relevant general physical examination and systemic examination was done and findings recorded, routine laboratory investigation was done. All cases were then subjected to ultrasound examination with 2-5MHz curvilinear array transducer with an aim to assess.Results: The univariate analysis sex proved to be significantly predictive of conversion in the present study. Execution of ERCP before the intervention proved associated with an increased risk for conversion in our study. Stone position as significant factor for conversion while stone size was not significant. No significant association between fever and conversion our study.Conclusions: Male gender, GB wall thickness, stone position, stone size, ultrasound signs of pericholecystitis, acute cholecystitis, were significantly associated with conversion.

Ein 58jähriger Mann wurde mit Übelkeit, Oberbauchschmerzen, einem palpablen Tumor im rechten oberen Epigastrium und begleitendem Fieber aber fehlender Leukozytose und CRP-Erhöhung aufgenommen. Sowohl die Ultraschalluntersuchung als auch eine im Anschluss durchgeführte Computertomographie deuteten auf einen malignen Tumor der Gallenblase mit Infiltration der Leber und begleitender Abszessformation in den Segmenten 4b und 3 hin. Die Indikation zur Entfernung des Tumors im Sinne einer Hemihepatektomie links mit Cholezystektomie und Abszessdrainage wurde gestellt. Intraoperativ fand sich dann jedoch eine chronisch-eitrige Cholezystitis ohne Beteiligung der Leber selbst, sodass nur eine Cholezystektomie durchgeführt werden musste. Die histologische Untersuchung der Gallenblase erbrachte keinen Hinweis auf ein malignes Geschehen. Der Patient erholte sich gut von dem operativen Eingriff und konnte sieben Tage später entlassen werden. Diese Fallbeschreibung zeigt die Probleme auf, die bei der Differentialdiagnostik von entzündlichen und malignen Gallenblasenerkrankungen mit Beteiligung von angrenzenden Strukturen, insbesondere der Leber, bestehen. Trotz apparativer Untersuchungen wie Sonographie und Computertomogramm ist die letztendlich richtige Diagnose häufig nur intraoperativ zu stellen und erst dann die adäquate Therapie festlegbar. Chronische Entzündungen der Gallenblase können als solide Tumoren imponieren und dann als maligne Prozesse der Gallenblase und der angrenzenden Lebersegmente fehlinterpretiert werden.

SummaryTc-99m pyridoxylidene glutamate has proven to be an excellent biliary scanning agent, far superior in many respect to the commonly used 1-131 rose bengal. The preparation of the compound as previously reported by Baker et al is too time consuming and requires the use of an autoclave which is not available in most nuclear medicine departments. In our facility, we have been preparing similar compounds using several aldehydes and monosodium glutamate to make labeled complexes having the same pharmacological characteristics. The mixture of monosodium glutamate, aldehyde, and Tc-99m pertechnetate is made slightly alkaline, purged with helium, and placed in a sealed vial. The vial, which is protected by a wire basket, is then heated in a laboratory oven at 130° C for a period of 15 to 20 minutes. During this time, the technetium is reduced to a lower valence state and bound to the complex formed. Chromatographic data show that these compounds are chemically similar to that previously reported. The compounds prepared concentrate in the gall bladder of the rabbit in less than 10 minutes. Kinetic studies have been performed on dogs with a scintillation camera and small digital computer to measure rates of blood clearance, liver and gall bladder uptake, and excretion into the intestine. The aldehyde — glutamate complex promises to be a useful scanning agent for the diagnosis of biliary and hepatocellular diseases.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is one of the procedures through which gall bladder can be removed. Acute cholecystitis was considered a contraindication for laparoscopic procedure but with time and experience this shortcoming is now overcome. Here is a study of 32 patients who were selected for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Among them, 29 patients were operated by laparoscopic method and rest three patients were converted. This study showed the appropriate time for surgery, technical difficulties and the complication of surgery. It may be concluded that laparoscopic cholecystectomy is feasible and beneficial to the patient with acute cholecystitis in its early phase, if necessary support and expertise is available.
