Study Notes
Bismuth and Strasberg Classification of Bile Duct Injury
- Bismuth and Strasberg classifications describe bile duct injuries.
- Strasberg Classification A: Cystic duct leak or minor leak.
- Strasberg Classification B: Occlusion of an aberrant (right) hepatic duct.
- Strasberg Classification C: Leak from an abnormal right hepatic duct.
- Strasberg Classification D: Lateral injury to the common bile duct.
- Bismuth Type I: Stricture of the common hepatic duct.
- Bismuth Type II: Stricture at the hilum of the liver, with confluence preservation.
- Bismuth Type III: Stricture leading to an aberrant right hepatic duct.
- Bismuth Type IV: Stricture to an aberrant right hepatic duct, with confluence involvement.
- Bismuth Type V: Stricture to an aberrant right hepatic duct.
Gallstones in Pregnancy
- Hormonal changes during pregnancy can increase cholesterol secretion and decrease bile acid secretion, potentially slowing gallbladder emptying.
- Progesterone can decrease bile acid secretion.
- Gallstones diagnosis during pregnancy is possible using Ultrasound (USG).
- First-trimester management for mild cases is conservative.
- Second-trimester management involves Laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
- Third-trimester management is non-operative.
CBD Stones Detection and Management
- CBD stones can be detected during or after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
- If CBD stones are detected during laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the procedure includes laparoscopic exploration of CBD and stone removal, followed by T-tube insertion (7-10 days).
- A T-tube cholangiogram is conducted to check for residual stones after T-tube insertion.
- If residual stones are present, the T-tube is retained for 2-3 weeks, and a channel is formed via a choledoscope to remove stones using the Burhenne technique.
- If no residual stones are present, the T-tube is removed.
- If CBD stones are detected after laparoscopic cholecystectomy, symptoms may include pain, fever, and jaundice.
- Initial assessment involves imaging using an Imaging of the Common Bile Duct (IOC): MRCP.
- If residual or retained CBD stones are present within 2 years of lap cholecystectomy, further evaluations including ERCP+Sphincterotomy are necessary.
- If recurrent/primary CBD stones are present more than 2 years after Lap Cholecystectomy, evaluations including ERCP+Sphincterotomy are necessary.
Gallstone Ileus
- Gallstone ileus is a misnomer and refers to dynamic bowel obstruction.
- It's caused by the impaction of a gallstone in the neck of the gallbladder, leading to bile absorption and mucus production by the GB wall.
- Symptoms include a distended gallbladder and pain.
- Diagnosis is made using USG.
- Treatment involves laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
- Complications include infected mucocele, leading to empyema of the GB, and gallstone ileus.
- Common site of obstruction is the last 2 feet/60cm of ileum.
- The stone rarely can lead to gastric outlet obstruction, causing Bouveret syndrome.
Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Surgery
- CECT is the IOC for GIST, GB cancer, and renal cell cancer.
Gall Bladder Cancer
- 90% of GB cancer is associated with GB stones.
- Other risk factors include Salmonella typhi carrier, porcelain gallbladder, abnormal pancreatico biliary duct junction (APBDJ), and heavy metal contamination of water.
- GB polyps > 10 mm/1 cm in size, multiple polyps, or adenomatous type increase the risk.
- Cholesterol polyps do not increase the risk.
- GB polyps < 10mm are monitored with regular USG.
- Adenocarcinoma is the most common type, including infiltrating, nodular, and papillary types.
- Clinical presentation may include a GB mass, pain, and jaundice.
- Spread occurs through direct invasion, lymphatic spread, and hematogenous spread.
Gall Bladder & Bile Ducts: Part 1
- Mirizzi syndrome occurs when inflammation causes the GB to adhere to the CBD, leading to fistula formation.
- Clinical features of Mirizzi syndrome include pain and jaundice.
- Investigations for Mirizzi syndrome include MRCP and Intraoperative Cholangiopancreatography (IOC).
- Management involves Lap cholecystectomy.
- Choledocholithiasis is the presence of stones in the common bile duct. 90% are secondary to GB stones, and 10% are primary.
- Brown pigment stones are commonly formed within the CBD.
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
- The surgeon positions on the left side, the assistant on the left side, and the patient in reverse Trendelenburg with the right side up.
- The "B Safe" method focuses on visualizing the bile duct, status of Rouviere, hepatic artery, umbilical fissure, and enteric/duodenum before proceeding with surgery.
- Calot's triangle, containing the cystic artery and cystic duct, must be visualized.
- Traditional laparoscopic cholecystectomy uses multiple ports, including a right hypochondrial port for the left hand, and a fourth port for retraction and GB manipulation.
- SILS laparoscopic cholecystectomy is performed through a single incision.
- Bailout strategies, such as aborting the procedure, converting to an open procedure, performing a tube cholecystostomy, or carrying out a subtotal cholecystectomy, are used in cases of frozen Calots.
- Complications include right shoulder tip pain (most common), bleeding, and injury to the bile duct.
Bile Duct Injury
- Types of bile duct injuries include injury to the bowel, residual/recurrent stones, and stricture to the common hepatic or common bile duct.
- Injuries can be classified by whether awareness occurs during surgery or post-operatively.
- Partial tear may be treated with repair using an absorbable suture.
- Complete transection without loss of segment may be treated with anastomosis using a T-tube.
- Complete transection with loss of segment may require anastomosis with a T-tube and closure of the distal end with choledochojejunostomy.
- Post-operative management for minor bile leaks involves observation with close monitoring of symptoms.
- Workup for persistent or worsening symptoms includes CBC, TLC, abdominal ultrasound, and collection below the liver, with confirmation via MRCP.
- One common intervention for biliary leaks is an ERCP with stenting procedure.
- The management strategy depends on the complexity of the injury and patient response.
Chronic Cholecystitis
- Chronic cholecystitis is characterized by multiple episodes of cholecystitis.
- Symptoms include right upper quadrant pain, nausea, and vomiting.
- Diagnosis is made using ultrasound, which may reveal the Wall echo shadow (WES) sign, gallstones, and post-acoustic shadow.
- Histopathology reveals clefts, chronic inflammatory cells, and Rokitansky Aschoff sinuses.
- Potential outcomes include rupture, xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis, or cancer.
- Management involves laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Emphysematous Cholecystitis
- This condition is caused by Clostridium bacteria.
- Predisposing factors include immunocompromised status.
- Clinical features include pain, fever, and sepsis.
- Diagnosis involves ultrasound and computed tomography, which visualize gas within the gallbladder and wall.
- Management includes nil per oral, intravenous fluids, and broad-spectrum antibiotics.
Mucocele of Gallbladder
- Mucocele is aseptic dilatation of the gallbladder caused by a stone impacted at the Hartmann pouch neck.
- Management involves early laparoscopic cholecystectomy or tube cholecystostomy.
