Introduction: Acute biliary pancreatitis is a serious complication of biliarycalculous disease and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Incidence is moreoften in females and cause is the gall stones in majority of the cases. Definitive treatment ischolecystectomy and with the advancement of minimal invasive surgery, laparoscopiccholecystectomy has been considered as a gold standard for the management of acute BiliaryPancreatitis. The optimal timing when to perform laparoscopic cholecystectomy is still underdebate. Many surgeons recommend early surgery whereas others are in favor of delayedsurgery. This study is carried out to compare the timing of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in casesof acute biliary pancreatitis. Objective: To compare the frequency of conversion fromlaparoscopic to open cholecystectomy in early versus delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy inmild to moderate acute biliary pancreatitis. Study design: Randomised Control trial (RCT).Setting: Department of surgery, Holy Family Hospital, Rawalpindi. Duration: Six months, fromJanuary 2010 to June 2012. Material and methods: 306 patients, diagnosed as mild tomoderate acute Biliary Pancreatitis were randomly allocated into two groups for laparoscopiccholecystectomy. Those who were operated within two weeks of index hospital admission werelabeled as Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy (EC) group whereas those undergoing surgeryafter 02 weeks of index hospital admission were considered as Delayed laparoscopiccholecystectomy group(DC). Conversion rate from laparoscopic to open cholecystectomy wascompared in two groups. Results: Out of 153 patients enrolled as EC group, 138 were female and15 were male patients. Mean age was 39.19 ± 11.25years where as in DC group , there were 134female and 19 male patients in a total of 153 patients, and the mean age was 39.54 ±10.37 years.Conversion from laparoscopic surgery to open cholecystectomy was 8.5%(13 patients) and13.1%(20 patients) in EC and DC groups respectively. The overall conversion rate was 10.8%.There was no statistical significance between conversion rate of the two groups. (p = 0.197)Conclusions: Acute Biliary Pancreatitis should be managed by laparoscopic cholecystectomyregardless of the time elapsed since the start of symptoms. There is no statistical significance ofconversion rate from laparoscopic to open cholecystectomy associated with the timing ofsurgical intervention in the case of acute Biliary Pancreatitis.

Significant Difference

Several studies addressed that preoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for common bile duct (CBD) clearance, followed by interval laparoscopic cholecystectomy (two-stage approach), constitutes the most common practice in cases of uncomplicated mild acute biliary pancreatitis. Between June 1998 and December 2002, 44 patients (35 females and 9 males with a median age of 62 years) suffering from uncomplicated mild acute biliary pancreatitis were treated in our unit. All patients were electively submitted to surgery after subsidence of the acute symptoms, and for definitive treatment we favored the single-stage laparoscopic management, avoiding preoperative ERCP. All patients underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy plus fluoroscopic intraoperative cholangiogram (IOC). If filling defect(s) were detected in the IOC, a finding suggestive of concomitant choledocholithiasis, laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) was added in the same sitting. Twenty patients were operated upon within 2 weeks since the attack of the acute symptoms and constitute the early group (n = 20), whereas 24 patients underwent an operation later on and constitute the delay group (n = 24). We retrospectively compare the safety, effectiveness, and outcome after the single-stage laparoscopic management between the two groups of patients. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy alone constituted the definitive treatment in 38 patients, while an additional LCBDE was performed in the remaining 6 patients (14%), and all operations were achieved laparoscopically. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of operative time, incidence of concomitant choledocholithiasis, morbidity rate, and postoperative hospital stay. During the follow-up, none of the patients experienced recurrent pancreatitis. In uncomplicated mild acute biliary pancreatitis cases, a single-stage definitive laparoscopic management, avoiding preoperative ERCP, can be safely performed during the same admission, after the improvement of symptoms and local inflammation. Postoperative ERCP should be selectively used in patients in whom the single-stage method failed to resolve the problem.

First Admission

Acute biliary pancreatitis (ABP) is one of the most common gastrointestinal events that requires acute admission to the hospital with considerable risks of mortality & morbidity. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become the gold standard for the treatment of ABP. Our aim was to determine the safety of cholecystectomy during the first admission by performing a review of the current literature. Waiting for 6 - 8 weeks to perform cholecystectomy may result with an increased incidence of recurrent ABP attacks, which may increase morbidity and the length of the hospital stay. On the contrary, cholecystectomy during the index admission for mild ABP appears to be a preferable and safe approach with better surgical outcomes providing a definitive treatment.

The timing of laparoscopic cholecystectomy following an attack of acute biliary pancreatitis is controversial. The traditional approach of interval cholecystectomy has been challenged recently. The present study was designed to evaluate the benefits of interval laparoscopic cholecystectomy for patients with mild acute pancreatitis (Ranson less than 3). Nineteen patients with mild pancreatitis underwent ultrasonographic evaluation to confirm the biliary etiology. ERCP was performed in all patients on the first available endoscopy list, and endoscopic sphincterotomy was performed in two patients with calculi or dilated common bile duct on ultrasonographic examination. Medical treatment was administered and laparoscopic cholecystectomy was scheduled after 8–12 weeks to allow the inflammatory process to settle. There were no recurrent attacks of pancreatitis during this period. The degree of difficulty of the laparoscopic procedure was assessed by the presence of adhesions to the gallbladder area, difficulty of dissection in the Calot's triangle, intraoperative bleeding and the need for a drain. Six patients (31.5%) had severe adhesions, difficult dissection of the cystic duct and artery, bleeding and prolonged operating time. In two of these patients (10.5%) the procedure was converted to open cholecystectomy. In conclusion, our results suggest that postponing laparoscopic cholecystectomy in acute pancreatitis patients is not advantageous surgically and does not justify the risk of further morbidity caused by the gallbladder disease.

Background: Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is now accepted as being safe for acute cholecystitis. However, it has not become routine, because the exact timing and approach to the surgical management remains ill define. Careful selection of patients, the knowledge of typical procedure-related complications, and their best treatment are the key points for a safe Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. Objective: To compare the early and delayed Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy in the acute phase in terms of frequency of conversion to open cholecystectomy. Study Design: Randomized clinical trial. Settings: Department of Surgery, Divisional Headquarter Hospital, Faisalabad. Punjab Medical College, Faisalabad Pakistan. Duration: Study was carried out over a period of six months from June 2018 to May 2019. Methodology: A total of 152 cases (76 cases in each group) were included in this study. All patients were randomly allocated to either group i.e., group -A early Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy and group-B delayed Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. Results: Mean age was 39.09 + 8.8 and 37.05+ 8.5 years in group- A and B, respectively. In group-A, male patients were 48 (63.2%) and female patients were 28 (36.8%). Similarly, in group-B, male patients were 41 (53.9%) and female patients were 35 (46.1%). Conversion to open cholecystectomy was required in 6 patients (7.9%) of group-A and 16 patients (21.0%) of group – B. Significant difference between two groups was observed (P= 0.021). Conclusion: Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis is safe and feasible in terms of less frequency of conversion to open cholecystectomy.

Abstract Background: Gallstones are very common and frequently present as acute cholecystitis in up to 20 % of patients with symptomatic disease, with wide variation in severity. Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (LC) has become the gold standard for treatment of symptomatic disease. Although multiple studies have confirmed its safety, LC at index admission is still not widely practiced in Ireland. We present our experience of a cohort of patients who underwent index admission laparoscopic cholecystectomy at Cork University Hospital since the start of the acute care surgery program in May 2017.Aim: To determine the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic cholecystectomy at index admission.Methods: All adult patients who presented to an acute surgical assessment unit (ASAU) with symptomatic gall stone disease and underwent early laparoscopic cholecystectomy at index admission were included. The duration of this prospective cohort study was 27 months (May 2017 to July 2019). Patient demographics, indication for surgery, post-operative complications and conversion rates were recorded. In addition, timing of imaging, imaging findings and length of hospital stay were also noted.Results: A total of 233 patients underwent laparoscopic Cholecystectomy at index admission for various indications. Median age was 50 years with range between 16 - 88. Male to female ratio was 1: 1.78. 142 (61%) patients had acute cholecystitis, while the other indications were CBD obstruction (15.5%), biliary colic (11%) and acute biliary pancreatitis (10.5%). 93 (40%) patients had pre-op MRCP while 41 (17.6%) underwent pre-op ERCP. All except 3 patients undergoing ERCP had pre-procedure MRCP. 2 patients had intra-operative cholangiograms. Overall morbidity was 4.7%. In terms of complications, 3 (1.3%) patients had bile leak and only 1 (0.85%) had re-operation. There was 1 common bile duct injury and only 1 conversion to open surgery. There was no mortality in this case series. The average length of hospital stay was 5.6 days. (Range 2 to 14 days).Conclusions: Index admission laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis, choledocholithiasis, biliary colic and acute biliary pancreatitis, has been a safe and feasible treatment option in our hospital. A safe practice can be ensured by adherence to this care pathway and a multidisciplinary, consultant-led service. Index cholecystectomy service can be provided safely to reduce disease-related morbidity and multiple re-admissions in patients awaiting interval surgery.

Initial 100 consecutive laparoscopic cholecystectomies performed by one surgeon were studied prospectively. The standard technique was modified in that the gallbladder removal was accomplished through the upper epigastric incision; there was no need to change the location of the camera. The conversion rate to open cholecystectomy was 2%. There were no major complications and no mortality. Minor complications occurred in 9% of the patients. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be performed safely in a community hospital setting. Simplified technique of gallbladder extraction is recommended.
