Conversion To Open Cholecystectomy

Abstract Aims Retrograde ‘fundus-first’ cholecystectomy is when the dissection starts from the fundus of the gallbladder to the infundibulum, in case structures of Calot's triangle cannot be identified. Although feasible in laparoscopic cholecystectomy, it remains an underutilized approach. We aimed to systematically review the fundus-first laparoscopic cholecystectomy and study its safety and feasibility. Methods A systematic review was performed in compliance with PRISMA guidelines. A literature search was performed using PubMed/MEDLINE, ScienceDirect and Cochrane-Library for articles published from 2010 to 2020. Search keywords included ‘retrograde cholecystectomy’, ‘fundus-first cholecystectomy’ and ‘fundus-down cholecystectomy’. Quality assessments were applied using the Medical Education Research Quality Instrument (MERSQI) score. The protocol was registered with PROSPERO register. Results A total of 3503 studies formed the base for evidence evaluations. 12 studies with 1978 fundus-first cholecystectomies were assessed. Three citations were scored high and 5 moderate quality. Endpoints included blood loss, rate of conversion to open, bile duct injury, gallbladders perforations, postoperative pain and hospital stay. Nine studies provided both strong and moderate scientific evidence for a positive outcome of the fundus-first approach. Conclusion The fundus-first cholecystectomy was associated with a reduced need for intraoperative cholangiography, shorter operating time, lower incidence of intra-operative complications, bile duct injury and reduced incidence of conversion to open cholecystectomy.

Abstract Aims Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is known to be one of the most widely performed general surgical operations. However, it is still associated with an increased incidence and severity of complications especially during the period of a surgeon’s proficiency-gain curve. Certain complications could be prevented by decreasing the incidence and consequences of surgeon errors. We aimed to systematically review the use of checklists during LC and their effect on the surgical task performance. Methods A systematic review was performed in compliance with the PRISMA guidelines. A search was carried out on PubMed, ScienceDirect and the Cochrane-Library databases. English language articles published to November 2020 were included in this study. The terms included: ‘Checklist and laparoscopic cholecystectomy’, ‘checklist and laparoscopic surgery’, ‘checklist and cholecystectomy’ and checklist and minimally invasive surgery’’. MERSQI score was applied for quality assessment. The research protocol was registered with PROSPERO register (CRD42021209118). Results The results of the systematic search resulted in 8862 citations, of which 23 relevant citations were assessed for eligibility. A final 9 articles were included in this study. The endpoints were equipment-related-risk events, numbers and types of adverse events, rate of conversion to open cholecystectomy, team communication and coordination, the number of consequential and inconsequential errors. The positive effect of checklists on the performance during LC was supported with 5 high-quality studies. Conclusion The effect of checklists application during LC showed a significant improvement of the surgical task performance by decreasing the number of surgeons’ errors. We envisage the routine use of checklists during LC.

Tract Disease

Biliary tract disease remains a common indication for operative intervention. The incidence of concurrent biliary tract disease (>2 biliary tract disease processes) is unknown and the impact of more than one biliary tract diagnosis on outcomes remains to be defined. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of concurrent biliary tract disease on conversion rate and outcomes after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. A 5-year retrospective analysis of all patients who underwent a laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed comparing those with a single biliary diagnosis to patients with concurrent biliary tract disease. Variables analyzed were conversion to open cholecystectomy, incidence of bile duct injury, use of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and/or intraoperative cholangiogram, length of surgery, and duration of hospitalization. The incidence of concurrent biliary tract disease was 9 per cent and a conversion to open cholecystectomy was performed in 16 per cent of patients. After adjusting for confounding factors, concurrent biliary tract disease was predictive of conversion (odds ratio 1.6, 95% confidence interval 1.1–2.3, P = 0.03) and bile duct injury (odds ratio 2.5, 95% confidence interval 0.8–5, P = 0.01). Concurrent biliary tract disease patients were more likely to undergo intraoperative cholangiogram or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, as well as longer operation and length of stay.

Iatrogenic Bile Duct Injury

AbstractIatrogenic bile duct injuries (BDI) are still a challenging diagnostic and therapeutic problem. With the introduction of the laparoscopic technique for the treatment of cholecystolithiasis, the incidence of iatrogenic BDI increased.was a retrospective analysis of 69 patients treated at the department due to iatrogenic BDI in the years 2004-2014.. In this paper, we presented the results of a retrospective analysis of 69 patients treated at the Department due to iatrogenic BDI in the years 2004-2014. The data were analysed in terms of age, sex, type of biliary injury, clinical symptoms, the type of repair surgery, the time between the primary surgery and the BDI management, postoperative complications and duration of hospital stay.. 82.6% of BDI occurred during laparoscopic cholecystectomy, 8.7% occurred during open cholecystectomy, whereas 6 cases of BDI resulted from surgeries conducted for other indications. In order to assess the degree of BDI, Bismuth and Neuhaus classifications were used (for open and laparoscopic cholecystectomy respectively). 84.1% of patients with confirmed BDI, were transferred to the Department from other hospitals. The average time between the primary surgery and reoperation was 6.2 days (SD 4). The most common clinical symptom was biliary fistula observed in 78.3% of patients. In 28 patients, unsuccessful attempts to manage BDI were made prior to the admission to the Department in other centres. The repair procedure was mainly conducted by laparotomy (82.6%) and by the endoscopic approach (15.9%). Hepaticojejunostomy was the most common type of reconstruction following BDI (34.7%).. The increase in the rate of iatrogenic bile duct injury remains a challenging surgical problem. The management of BDI should be multidisciplinary treatment. Referring patients with both suspected and confirmed iatrogenic BDI to tertiary centres allows more effective treatment to be implemented.

Prolonged Surgery

For the experienced surgeon, the average operative time for a laparoscopic cholecystectomy is less than 1 hour. There has been no study documenting the causes and results of prolonged (longer than 3 hours) surgery. A retrospective study was done of patients who underwent cholecystectomy between January 2003 and December 2007. A total of 3126 cholecystectomies were done. After excluding patients who had a planned open cholecystectomy and patients who had additional laparoscopic surgeries, we identified 70 patients who had a planned laparoscopic cholecystectomy with operative time exceeding 3 hours. Multivariate stepwise logistic regression was performed analyzing the various factors leading to prolonged surgery. Of the 70 patients, ranging in age from 21 to 92 years (mean, 57 years), most (n = 53) were female. Operative time ranged from 3 hours to 6 hours 40 minutes (mean, 3 hours 37 minutes). Emergency:elective admission ratio was 9:5 and acute cholecystitis (n = 40) was the most common indication. Common characteristics were obesity (n = 44, P = 0.031), intraabdominal adhesions (n = 43, P = 0.004), and previous abdominal surgeries (n = 40, P = 0.002). Intraoperative complications included spillage of stones (n = 6), bile duct injury (n = 3), and bleeding (n = 3). The possibility of prolonged laparoscopic cholecystectomy should be anticipated in patients with obesity and previous abdominal operations. Prolonged surgery increases the risk of complications (bile duct injury, bleeding) and prolongs the postoperative hospital stay.

Symptomatic Gallstone Disease

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has been recognized as the new "gold standard" for the treatment of symptomatic gallstone disease. In order to prevent serious bile duct and vascular injuries, conversion is advocated for unclear anatomy at the Calot’s. Our aim was to assess the safety and effectiveness of laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy (LSC) in difficult cholecystectomy in order to reduce the incidence of bile duct injury and conversion rates.Methods: An analysis of retrospectively collected data of 452 patients who underwent LC was done at our Hospital during the period of January 2010 to December 2013. In few cases of difficult GB when Calot’s could not be dissected, laparoscopic retrograde cholecystectomy (LRC) was attempted and if that failed we adopted the technique of LSC.Results: A total of 452 patients were included. The median age was 48 years. All the 452 patients were posted for LC. Of the 452 patients, 404 patients underwent LC and the remaining 48 patients had difficult GB. Among the 48 patients having a difficult GB, 44 cases underwent LSC (3 cases underwent LSC Type-1 and 41 cases underwent LSC Type-2) and the remaining 4 cases underwent conversion to open cholecystectomy. The mean operative time was 130mins and median post op stay was 2 days.Conclusions: In our technique of LSC the conversion rates were <1% with no bile duct injury and believe that it is feasible and safe for operating on difficult GB’s.

Objective: To describe the surgical management of complex bile duct injuries in a specialized hepatopancreatobiliary unit. Design of the Study: It was a retrospective study. Study Settings: This study was carried out at Department of Anaesthesia and Hepatobiliary Unit, Sheikh Zayed Hospital Lahore from August 2017 to August 2019. Material and Methods: This retrospective study includes 80 patients of bile duct injury who underwent surgical correction of bile duct injury at specialized Hepatopancreatobiliary [HPB] and liver transplant department of Shaikh Zayed Hospital Lahore. All the subjects were evaluated by retrospectively. The information regarding primary operative procedure, drain placement, T-tube placement, presentation, hospital stay, Liver Function Tests [LFTs], level of biliary tract injury and type of surgical procedure obtained from patients records. Results of the Study: During the study period 80 patients – 65 females and 15 male were operated for bile duct injury. Mean age was 39.89 years range 21 to 65 years. Hospital stay ranges from 9 to 36 days with mean of 16.18 days. Patients underwent open cholecystectomy, 43.8% laparoscopic cholecystectomy and in 3 patients procedure was converted from laparoscopic to open. 52.5% patients underwent open cholecystectomy, 43.8 laparoscopic cholecystectomy and in 3 patient’s procedure was converted from laparoscopic to open. Conclusion: It is concluded that the correct long lasting and physiological method to treat injuries of bile duct is only surgical repair. Although, surgical repair of bile duct must be operated by skilled hepatopancreaticobiliary surgeons. A practical method which is selected appropriately and implemented successfully has surely improved surgical outcome without any problem faced during the operation.
