Gall Stone Disease

Acute pancreatitis is caused by alcohol, gall stone disease, drugs, trauma, infections, and metabolic causes such as hypercalcemia and hyperlipidemia. Hypercalcemia-induced acute pancreatitis has been well documented but only rarely occurs due to over-the-counter calcium carbonate. In this article, we present a case of over-the-counter calcium carbonate–induced acute pancreatitis.

Background: Aim of the study was to assess the etiology and determine the chemical composition of gallstones in our population.Methods: This was a prospective observational study conducted at GMC Srinagar from 2018 to 2020. One hundred patients having gall stone disease were enrolled into the study and after cholecystectomy was performed the stones chemical composition was analyzed by fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The data was collated and analysed.Results: 54 patients had mixed stones with chemical composition of cholesterol, calcium carbonate and calcium bilirubinate; 39 had cholesterol stones and 7 patients had pigmented stone with chemical composition of cholesterol, calcium carbonate and calcium bilirubinate.Conclusions: Our results suggest that cholesterol, either singularly or in combination with calcium carbonate or bilirubin is a common component of gall stones in our population.

History Of

Acute pancreatitis is caused by various causes such as Gall stone disease, alcoholism, drug abuse but rarely caused by severe hypertriglyceridemia. It typically presents as acute or recurrent pancreatitis. The hypertriglyceridemia can be gestation induced or familial. The family history of the pregnant women needs to be taken in detail. The serum triglyceride levels in the range of 1000 to 2000 mg/dl in patients with type I, III, IV and V hyperlipoproteinemia (Friedrickson's classification) is the identifiable risk factor. The clinical course of hypertriglyceridemia induced pancreatitis is similar to other causes. We hereby report a case of 21-year-old lady G3P1L0A1 with 37 weeks of pregnancy without any family history of hypertriglyceridemia and but with history of recurrent episodes of acute pancreatitis.

Gallstones are now among the most important disease in the era of surgery. Definitive treatment of gall stone disease remains cholecystectomy. One of the common causes of emergency surgical referral is acute cholecystitis of which 50-70% cases are seen in the elderly patients.50 patients were treated with laparoscopic cholecystectomy from October 2013 to October 2015. The patient’s age was from 20 to 65 years old with a mean age of 34 ±3 years old. The patients received in the emergency unit and their attack not more than 72 hrs of acute gall stone inflammation were included in this study.From the 50 patients,15 were males (34%) and females were 35 (74%) so the ratio of 1:2of male to female. Problems and complications that facing in this study at time of laparoscopy were mainly adhesions to the adjacent structures like stomach, colon, and omentum. Adhesion into CBD also considered.Early intervention for acute cholecystitis of calculus type by laparoscopy now regarding safe and gold standard approach that should be kept in mind when dealing with such cases.

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), the procedure of choice for symptomatic gall stone disease. An emerging trend is to perform Low pressure pnuemoperitonium laparoscopic surgery as it has additive advantages over standard pressure to avoid complications while providing adequate working space.Aims and Objectives: The current study was designed with an aim to compare the advantage of low pressure pneumoperitoneum vs standard pressure pneumoperitoneum in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in the department of General Surgery in R.G.Kar Medical College from January 2014 to June 2015. A total of 52 patients with symptomatic gall stone disease were recruited, 26 patients in each group randomly. Some intraoperative and post-operative parameters were studied.Results: All the intra-operative (IO) cardio-respiratory parameters (Pulse, Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP), End tidal CO2, spO2) were recorded just before incision, 20 minutes intra-operatively and before reversal of general anesthesia (GA). The IO parameters in our study, were found to be significant only at 20 minutes IO and before reversal of GA. The post-operative (PO) parameters (Pulse, MAP, Respiratory rate, spO2) and pain by VAS score at 6 hours, 12 hours and 24 hours post-operatively were studied. In PO period, we observed significant differences at 2 hours post-operatively in all parameters except MAP. There was significant difference in pain at 6, 12 and 24 hours when compared in both groups. The shoulder tip pain (STP) and 2 hours PO nausea and vomiting were found to be significantly higher in Standard pressure Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SPLC) compared to Low pressure Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LPLC). The operative time, duration of hospital stay and return to normal life after surgery though had differences but it was statisticallyinsignificant.Conclusion: Low pressure laparoscopic surgery is safe with least post operative complications when performed by experienced surgeons even in patients of ASA III.Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.9(4) 2018 17-22
