Complication Of Surgery

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.

A Prospective Study

Introduction: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become procedure of choice for treatment of symptomatic gallstone [1] disease . Even though it is a safe procedure occasionally it can be difcult and requires conversion to open cholecystectomy for various problems faced during surgery. Preoperative prediction of difcult laparoscopic cholecystectomy and likelihood of conversion to open cholecystectomy will avoid such complications and overall cost of treatment. Aim: To evaluate the clinico-radiological factors predicting difcult laparoscopic cholecystectomy Methods: This was a prospective study conducted from October 2018 to November 2020. Total of 101 patients meeting inclusion criteria undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were included in the study. Various clinical, radiological and biochemical parameters and intraoperative difculties during surgery were recorded. The statistical analysis was done using chi-square test and ANOVA test. Results: The parameters such as sex, age, duration of disease, co-morbid disease, previous history of cholecystitis, palpable gall bladder, BMI, TLC, thickness of gall bladder, largest stone size and impacted stone are found statistically signicant in predicting difcult laparoscopic cholecystectomy and conversion to open cholecystectomy preoperatively. Conclusion: Difcult laparoscopic cholecystectomy may be predicted preoperatively even with a good clinical judgement whereas both clinical and radiological parameters provide a better preoperative prediction of difcult cholecystectomy so that the surgeon can prepared in advance for the complications.

Objective: To compare the frequency of port site wound infection following gall bladder removal through umbilical and epigastric port in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Study Design: Randomized Control Trial. Setting: Surgical Unit 2, Ghulam Muhammad Mahar Medical College, hospital Sukkur. Period: 1st November 2019 to 30th October 2020. Material & Methods: All cases who underwent four port laparoscopic cholecystectomy were enrolled in two groups. All procedures were performed under general anesthesia. As the last event of surgery gall bladder was retrieved in a glove bag through umbilical port in group A and through epigastric port in group B, both under direct camera vision. Wound infection was considered if there was 3 to 5 grade of wound according to Southampton wound grading system (Figure-1) on 5th postoperative day. All demographics and outcome variables were recorded. Results: Age ranged from 20 to 60 years with mean age of 38.875±8.11 years, BMI 29.973±5.12 Kg/m2, duration of surgery 50.656±8.41 mins and Southampton score was 1.044±1.07 in Group A and mean age of 38.560±6.23 years, BMI 27.437±5.04 Kg/m2, duration of surgery 48.920±8.67 mins and Southampton score was 0.856±0.92 in Group B. In group A, 18 (5.7%)patients developed port site wound infection in contrast to 5 (1.6%) patients in group B (P= 0.006). Conclusion: We conclude that epigastric port retrieval of gall bladder following laparoscopic cholecystectomy results in less port site infection.

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has now replaced open cholecystectomy for the treatment of gallbladder diseases. However, certain cases still require conversion to open procedures. This study identifies and evaluates risk factors that may predict conversion from laparoscopic to an open procedure. Objectives: To identify and evaluate the predictive factors for conversion of laparoscopic to open cholecystectomy. Materials and methods: A total of 234 Laparoscopic cholecystectomies were attempted at the Kasturba Medical College Hospital, Manipal, from January 2003 to July 2005. Of these, 61 had to be converted to open cholecystectomy. A retro and prospective analysis of different parameters, including Patient factors, Intra-operative factors and Surgeon factors were performed. Results: Sixty one (26.1%) laparoscopic cholecystectomies required conversion. Factors contributing to conversion included male sex, age group of 31-40 years, over weight and history of biliary pain within last two to four months, ultrasonography findings of multiple calculi and gall bladder wall thickness of more than 3 mm. Intraoperative gall bladder perforation with spillage of its contents in abdominal cavity and dense adhesions with difficult anatomy resulted in higher conversion rates. Surgery performed by surgeons in learning phase of laparoscopic surgery was more prone to conversion. Conclusion: Patient factors, presentation, preoperative ultrasonography findings and surgeon's experience, all contribute to the possibility of conversion of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Knowledge of these factors may help in preinformation to patient for psychological preparations for conversion and an experienced surgeon can plan to operate on these patients. Key words: Cholecystectomy, laparoscopy, conversion. doi: 10.3126/kumj.v7i1.1761       Kathmandu University Medical Journal (2009), Vol. 7, No. 1, Issue 25, 26-30

Complications Of Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Background: The technique of laparoscopic surgery has rapidly become popular because of its several advantages over conventional open surgery. The reduction of postoperative pain provided positive human impact, and the reduction of length of hospital stay as well as the earlier return to work generated a positive socioeconomic impact. However, in spite of being a minimally invasive technique, this procedure has different peroperative and postoperative complications which cannot be disregarded.Objective: To evaluate the complications of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in symptomatic and asymptomatic cholelithiasis and other benign gall bladder diseases.Methodology: 172 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy were included in this prospective study on the basis of non-randomized convenient sampling from a period of September 30, 2014 to September 30, 2016 in BIRDEM General Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Data of the patients regarding outcomes and complications were analyzed.Result: Results of this study suggests that 35.5% cases were male and 64.5% patients were female. In male group, most of the patients (18.0%) were in 41-50 years of age group followed by 9.9% in 51-60 years age group, whereas among the female patients these were 33.1% and 15.7% respectively. Mean±SD of age were46±1.7 and 42±1.3 years in case of male and female patients respectively.In 119 (69.2%) out of total 172 cases, laparoscopic cholecystectomy was done for chronic cholecystitis and in 18.6% (32 out of total 172) cases, it was performed for acute cholecystitis. Intra-operative bile leak(11.0%) was found to be the most frequent complications during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The incidence rates of perforation of gall bladder, stone spillage were 9.3% and 5.2% respectively. Trocar site, vascular, and hepatic bed hemorrhages were 7.0%, 4.7% and 4.0% respectively. Open conversion was done in 17 cases (9.9%). Port site infection and post cholecystectomy syndrome developed in 5.2% and 4.7% cases respectively. The overall mortality was approximately 1.1%. Serious complications likebowel injury and bile duct injury were recorded in 0.6% and 1.2% cases respectively.The results of this study suggest that gender, age, co-morbidities, previous abdominal surgery, acute cholecystitis, obesity, thickened gall bladder wall on ultrasound, history of preoperative ERCPare probablyimportant and clinically significant relevant factors for open conversion of laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Conclusion: In our study, complications of laparoscopic cholecystectomy were similar to those of different centres in western countries. We found laparoscopic cholecystectomy as a safe and effective procedure in almost all patients with cholelithiasis. Proper preoperative work up, awareness of possible complications and adequate training on laparoscopic technique make this operation a safe procedure with favorable result and lesser complications.Bangladesh Crit Care J March 2017; 5(1): 11-16

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.

Background: Biliary infection has been reported in a significant proportion of patients developing gallstones. Many studies have found biliary microflora in 20% to 46% patients with a post-operative infection rate of 7% to 20% in those who undergo cholecystectomy for symptomatic gallstone disease. Various antibiotics are also used empirically as prophylaxis against post-operative infection. The study was conducted in order to determine the bacteriology and to test its sensitivity to commonly used antibiotics of aspirated bile samples taken during laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and to correlate it with the clinical profile recorded in patients with symptomatic cholelithiasis.Methods: A total of 266 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy were included in the study over a two year period. Intra operatively, bile was aspirated from gall bladder and sent for culture and antibiotic sensitivity testing.Results: 14.66% (39 out of 266) patients had positive growth with Escherichia coli most commonly isolated in 9.77% (26/266) patients, followed by the Klebsiella species in 4.89% (13 out of 266) patients. All the cultures were sensitive to amikacin and meropenem, 97.44% to imipenem, and only 43.39% were sensitive to ampicillin. A statistically significant correlation was observed between a positive bile culture with the duration of symptoms (p=0.01874) and gall bladder thickness (p<0.0001). No correlation was seen between bile culture and history of acute cholecystitis, number or size of calculi.Conclusions: The results of this study can help develop local guidelines and recommendations based on Indian data to ensure the rational use of prophylactic antibiotics in patients with symptomatic cholelithiasis.

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has evolved to be as gold standard treatment for gall bladder disease and is the most common laparoscopic procedure performed worldwide. In recent times, the innovative techniques of Natural orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) and Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS) have been applied as a step forward towards scar less surgery with added benefits of less pain and less analgesic requirement, shorter hospital stay, quick return to work.Methods: A retrospective study of 50 patients admitted with gall bladder disease through outdoor for laparoscopic cholecystectomy from November 2018 to January 2019 in Maharishi Markandeshwar Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Mullana (AMBALA) were randomized into two groups of  25 each for Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (SILC) and standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) comparing the operative time, outcome and  complications.Results: 50 patients admitted to MMIMSR Mullana from November 2018 to January 2019 with gall bladder disease were divided into two groups of 25 each who underwent three port SILC and four port laparoscopic cholecystectomy (4PLC). The average intra-operative time in SILC (80.56 mins) was significantly more than standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The average length of stay in the hospital for SILC was 1.8 days (1-3 days), was significantly less than in standard four port laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Incidence of Intraoperative complications were more in SILC than standard LC.Conclusions: SILC as the newer novel technique had better outcomes in terms of cosmesis, early discharge, shorter stay at hospital.
