Duration Of Hospital Stay

After failed removal of common bile duct or intrahepatic bile duct (IHD) stones by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), percutaneous lithotripsy is well-known as an effective procedure. However, it is time-consuming because multiple sessions of transhepatic tract dilatation are required. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided choledochoduodenostomy (CDS) has been recently used to approach IHD to remove difficult bile duct stones. We recently experienced EUS-guided CDS performed with metal stent. Common bile duct or IHD stones were removed by retrieval accessories after initial failed or inadequate ERCP in three patients. Serious complications including bleeding, infection, and perforation were not noted. The duration of hospital stay from EUS-guided procedure to discharge ranged from 10 to 14 days. Although this result is interim and ongoing, it suggests that EUS-guided CDS might be an effective and safe procedure after failed ERCP to remove difficult bile duct stones through the tract.

Spontaneous perforation of the left intrahepatic bile duct is extremely rare, especially in adults. Here, we report on a case of a 64-year-old woman who had a complaint of right upper abdominal pain for 10 days, which gradually progressed to entire abdominal pain for 3 days, and was admitted to our hospital. Relevant examinations revealed she had a normal cardiac and lung workup, but an obvious abnormal abdominal computed tomography examination, which revealed an enlarged gallbladder, choledocholithiasis with dilatation of the common bile duct (1.8 cm) and intrahepatic bile duct, and a lot of encapsulated ascites. After being given adequate fluid resuscitation and active preoperative preparation, cholecystectomy and common bile duct exploration and perforation repair operation were then performed. The postoperative course was uneventful, and she was discharged with the T-tube in situ. A choledochoscopy examination at week 6 showed the conditions of the intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile duct were good. For these patients, early diagnosis and surgical treatment are essential for good prognosis. The goal of our surgery is to stop bile leakage, resolve choledocholithiasis and cholangitis, and reconstruct the bile duct.

Abstract Introduction The optimal treatment of choledocholithiasis combined with cholecystolithiasis remains controversial. Common surgical methods vary among endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), laparoscopic transcystic common bile duct exploration (LTCBDE), laparoscopic transductal common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) with or without T-tube drainage. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of surgical methods and to determine the appropriate procedure for patients with cholecystolithiasis combined with choledocholithiasis. Methods From January 2013 to January 2019, a total of 1555 consecutive patients diagnosed with cholecystolithiasis combined with choledocholithiasis who underwent surgical treatment in Tongji Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Total 521 patients with intrahepatic bile duct stones underwent LC + LCBDE + T-Tube were excluded from the analysis. At last, 1034 patients who met the inclusion criteria were divided into three groups according to their surgical methods: preoperative ERCP + subsequent LC (ERCP + LC group, n = 275), LC + LCBDE + intraoperative endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD) + primary duct closure (Tri-scope group, n = 479) and LC + laparoscopic transcystic CBD exploration (LTCBDE group, n = 280). Clinical records, operative findings and postoperative follow-up were collected and analyzed. Results There was no mortality in three groups. Common bile duct (CBD) stone clearance rate was 97.5% in ERCP + LC group, 98.7% in Tri-scope group, and 99.3% in LTCBDE group. There were no difference in terms of demographic characteristics, biochemistry findings and presentations, but the Tri-scope group had the biggest diameter and amount of stones and diameter of CBD, the LTCBDE group had the least CBD stones and the biggest diameter of cystic gall duct (CGD). ERCP + LC group have the longest hospital stay (14.16 ± 3.88 days vs 6.92 ± 1.71 days vs 10.74 ± 5.30 days, P < 0.05), also has the longest operative time than others (126.08 ± 42.79 min vs 92.31 ± 10.26 min, 99.09 ± 8.46 min, P < 0.05). Compared to ERCP + LC group, LTCBDE group and Tri-scope group had lower postoperation-leukocyte, shorter surgery duration and hospital stay (P < 0.05). Compared to the Tri-scope group, the LTCBDE group had the shorter hospital stay, extubation time and operation time and less intraoperative bleeding. There were less postoperative complications in LTCBDE group (1.1%) compared to the ERCP + LC group (3.6%) and Tri-scope group (2.2%). Follow-up time was 6 to 72 months. Four patients in ERCP + LC group and 5 in Tri-scope group reported recurrent stones. Conclusion All the three surgical methods are safe and effective. Tri-scope approach and LTCBDE approach have superiority to preoperative ERCP + LC. LC + LTCBDE shows priority over Tri-scope approach, but should be performed in selected patients. LC + LCBDE + T-Tube can be an alternative management if the other three procedures were failed. The surgeons should choose the most appropriate surgical procedure according to the preoperative examination results and intraoperative situation.

Background: Cholelithiasis is a common disease and at present the laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold standard treatment. The diagnosis of associated common bile duct stone for patients with gallstones is important for prompt surgical decision, treatment efficacy and patient safety. However, whether upper abdominal ultrasound and Liver function test (LFT) is adequate before doing lap cholecystectomy remains controversial. There are different opinions regarding the routine magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) to detect the possible presence of common bile duct (CBD) stones before laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Methods: This study was carried on a total of 106 patients who were admitted and treated for gall stone diseases in the Department of General Surgery, GSL General Hospital over a period of 24 months. After admission all cases were subjected for liver function test, USG abdomen and MRCP. The collected observational data was analyzed.Results: Among the 106 patients, a total of 17cases showed concurrent gallstones and choledocholithiasis, 11 cases choledocholithiasis were revealed by ultrasound examination, while 6 cases of choledocholithiasis were not detected by ultrasound examination but were confirmed by MRCP.Conclusions: CBD stone may be missed even in the presence of deranged liver enzymes or dilated CBD in USG abdomen. Hence for patient safety routine preoperative MRCP examination is recommended before doing laparoscopic cholecystectomy to rule out the likelihood of concomitant CBD stones. The cost-effectiveness of such expensive investigation is to be studied further taking into consideration preventive costs and patient morbidity and mortality.

Abstract Background MRCP (Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography) is used most to assess the biliary tree for stones or strictures. Recently, MRCP availability has increased, and it is extensively used to detect of common bile duct (CBD)stones although very frequently no stones are seen. Indeed, the currently recruiting sunflower RCT aims to determine the clinical and cost effectiveness of expectant management versus MRCP in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy at low or moderate risk of common bile duct stones. However, it is critical when requesting an investigation that adequate information is provided.  This work aimed, to describe the adequacy of information provided and correlate this with the MRCP result. We hypothesised that the less information that was provided the more common a normal result would be. Methods For a three month period (January 2021 to April 2021) all MRCP requests to detect the presence of a CBD stone were reviewed and data obtained from the Radiology CRIS (CDN Radiology Information System, CDN, Sydney, Aus.). The requesting information was compared to three pre-defined criteria (CBD diameter, presence of gallstones and LFT details) that were agreed as the optimal information that a reporting radiologist would require. The number of key pieces of information for each request and whether the request identified a CBD stone were identified. The proportion of MRCPs detecting a CBD stone was calculated according to the number of key pieces of information provided.     Results 56 patients were identified, of which 16 (29%) patients had CBD stones. In 24/56 (43%) patients the presence of gallstones on a previous ultrasound was provided, 14/56 (25%) of patients had information about LFTs including bilirubin and a trend in LFTs was not stated for any patient (0/56; 0%).  The rate of stone detection was calculated by the number of pieces of information provided. The rate was 71% (5/7) when all 3 pieces of data were provided, 31% (2/13) when two piece of information were provided, 30% (8/27) when a single piece of information was provided, and only 11% (1/11) when none of the specified data were provided. Conclusions It is uncommon for adequate clinical information to be provided in MRCP requests and in 16% of request no key information was provided. The LFT results were frequently omitted and the trend in LFTs never stated. The more key data provided in the request saw a higher proportion of MRCPs where a CBD stone was identified. We recommend that maximal clinical information is mandated for MRCP request perhaps using mandatory fields on electronic requesting systems and that  these systems are also used to facilitate recruitment to clinical trials such the Sunflower RCT.

The incidence of Common bile duct stones (CBD) in patients undergoing cholecystectomy is 10%. The present-day management of common bile duct stone may be pre-, intra-, or post-operative Endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP) with stone extraction. The reported complications of ERCP and CBD stone extraction range from 5 to 10% cases, that might be life threatening. Herein, we reported a case of calculus obstructive jaundice and cholangitis. Unfortunately, trials for ERCP and stone retrieval was followed by impacted Dormia basket which was successfully managed by surgerys.

Objective: To compare the diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) in addition to the non-contrast-enhanced computed tomography (NCECT), with MRCP alone, or NCECT alone for common bile duct (CBD) stone detection using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) as a gold standard. Materials and Methods: The medical records and image findings were retrospectively reviewed in all consecutive patients that underwent both MRCP and NCECT at Phramongkutklao Hospital between May 2012 and December 2015. The imaging data were reviewed using the consensus of two radiologists who were blind of the final diagnoses from ERCP. The accuracy of each modality in detecting CBD stone was reported as sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV). The other associated findings were reported as the presence of gallstones aerobilia, pancreatic calcification, biliary stenting, intrahepatic duct (IHD) dilatation, and CBD dilatation using intermodality agreement and kappa statistics. Results: Two hundred forty-one patients underwent both MRCP and NCECT. The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of the combined modalities were 98%, 99%, 95%, 98%, and 95%, respectively, which was higher than MRCP alone but it did not reach a statistical significance (accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of MRCP were 97%, 98%, 95%, 99%, and 91%, p=0.77 for accuracy). The other abnormalities found such as aerobilia, presence of gallstone, presence of IHD, and CBD dilatation were similar in both combined MRCP and NCECT as compared with MRCP alone. Conclusion: The accuracy of MRCP alone was good and acceptable for the detection of CBD stone. Adding NCECT to the routine MRCP did not result in a significantly higher accuracy. Thus, routinely adding the NCECT was no longer recommended to avoid unnecessary radiation exposure and increasing the cost of investigation.

Abstract Context: Earlier, we have shown an increased prevalence of previously diagnosed hypothyroidism in common bile duct (CBD) stone patients and a delayed emptying of the biliary tract in hypothyroidism, explained partly by the missing prorelaxing effect of T4 on the sphincter of Oddi contractility. Objective: In this study, the prevalence of previously undiagnosed subclinical hypothyroidism in CBD stone patients was compared with nongallstone controls. Patients: All patients were clinically euthyreotic and without a history of thyroid function abnormalities. CBD stones were diagnosed at endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (group 1; n = 303) or ruled out by previous medical history, liver function tests, and ultrasonography (control group II; n = 142). Main Outcome Measures: Serum free FT4 and TSH (S-TSH) were analyzed; S-TSH above the normal range (&gt;6.0 mU/liter) was considered as subclinical and S-TSH 5.0–6.0 mU/liter as borderline-subclinical hypothyroidism. Results: A total of 5.3 and 5.0% (total 10.2%; 31 of 303) of the CBD stone patients were diagnosed to have subclinical and borderline-subclinical hypothyroidism, compared with 1.4% (P = 0.05) and 1.4% (total 2.8%, four of 142; P = 0.026) in the control group, respectively. In women older than 60 yr, the prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism was 11.4% in CBD stone and 1.8% in control patients (P = 0.032) and subclinical plus borderline-subclinical hypothyroidism 23.8% in CBD stone and 1.8% in control patients (P = 0.012). Conclusion: Subclinical hypothyroidism is more common in the CBD stone patients, compared with nongallstone controls, supporting our hypothesis that hypothyroidism might play a role in the forming of CBD stones. At minimum, women older than 60 yr with CBD stones should be screened for borderline or overt subclinical hypothyroidism.
