Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of thiol disulfide homeostasis and Ischemia Modified Albumin (IMA) values in predicting the technical difficulties that might be encountered during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Materials and Methods: The study included 65 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy due to cholelithiasis at the General Surgery Clinic of Ankara Numune Training and Research Hospital. All patients’ demographic data, previous history of cholecystitis, a history of chronic illness, preoperative white blood count (WBC), liver function tests (AST, ALT), amylase and lipase levels, intra-operative adhesion score, the ultrasonographic appearance of gallbladder, duration on hospital stay, duration of operation, thiol disulfide and IMA values were evaluated. Results: Native thiol and total thiol averages were higher in patients without a history of cholecystitis, on the other hand, disulfide, disulfide/native thiol rate, disulfide/total thiol rate, native thiol/total thiol rate and IMA averages were higher in patients with a history of cholecystitis. While there was a statistically significant negative correlation between native and total thiol values and age, duration of surgery and duration of hospital stay; IMA, disulfide, disulfide/Total thiol, Native/Total thiol and disulfide/Native thiol rates were higher in older patients with a longer duration of surgery and hospital stay. In addition, preoperative IMA, disulfide, disulfide/Total thiol, Native/Total thiol and disulfide/Native thiol were observed to increase as the degree of intraoperative pericholecystic adhesion increased. Conclusion: We believe that the evaluation of thiol disulfide homeostasis and IMA parameters prior to laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be used as an effective method for predicting intraoperative difficulties.

Abstract Background Hemobilia is a rare cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding that originates from the biliary tract. It is infrequently considered in diagnosis, especially in the absence of abdominal trauma or history of hepatopancreatobiliary procedure, such as cholecystectomy, which can cause arterial pseudoaneurysm. Prompt diagnosis is crucial because its management strategy is distinct from other types of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Here, we present a case of massive hemobilia caused by the rupture of a gastroduodenal artery pseudoaneurysm in a patient with a history of laparoscopic cholecystectomy 3 years prior to presentation. Case presentation A 44-year-old Indonesian female presented to the emergency department with complaint of hematemesis and melena accompanied by abdominal pain and icterus. History of an abdominal trauma was denied. However, she reported having undergone a laparoscopic cholecystectomy 3 years prior to presentation. On physical examination, we found anemic conjunctiva and icteric sclera. Nonvariceal bleeding was suspected, but esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed a blood clot at the ampulla of Vater. Angiography showed contrast extravasation from a gastroduodenal artery pseudoaneurysm. The patient underwent pseudoaneurysm ligation and excision surgery to stop the bleeding. After surgery, the patient’s vital signs were stable, and there was no sign of rebleeding. Conclusion Gastroduodenal artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The prolonged time interval, as compared with other postcholecystectomy hemobilia cases, resulted in hemobilia not being considered as an etiology of the gastrointestinal bleeding at presentation. Hemobilia should be considered as a possible etiology of gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with history of cholecystectomy, regardless of the time interval between the invasive procedure and onset of bleeding.

Introduction.To explore the long term incidence and predictors of incisional hernia in patients that had RARP.Methods.All patients who underwent RARP between 2003 and 2012 were mailed a survey reviewing hernia type, location, and repair.Results.Of 577 patients, 48 (8.3%) had a hernia at an incisional site (35 men had umbilical), diagnosed at (median) 1.2 years after RARP (mean follow-up of 5.05 years). No statistically significant differences were found in preoperative diabetes, smoking, pathological stage, age, intraoperative/postoperative complications, operative time, blood loss, BMI, and drain type between patients with and without incisional hernias. Incisional hernia patients had larger median prostate weight (45 versus 38 grams;P=0.001) and a higher proportion had prior laparoscopic cholecystectomy (12.5% (6/48) versus 4.6% (22/480);P=0.033). Overall, 4% (23/577) of patients underwent surgical repair of 24 incisional hernias, 22 umbilical and 2 other port site hernias.Conclusion.Incisional hernia is a known complication of RARP and may be associated with a larger prostate weight and history of prior laparoscopic cholecystectomy. There is concern about the underreporting of incisional hernia after RARP, as it is a complication often requiring surgical revision and is of significance for patient counseling before surgery.

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has become gold standard for the surgical treatment of gallbladder disease. 2% to 15% of patients require conversion to open surgery for various reasons. Pre-operative prediction of “difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy” may not only improve patient safety but also be useful in reducing the overall cost of therapy. The aim of this study is to study the factors determining the preoperative predictability of difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Method: 30 cases of laparoscopic cholecystectomy operated by a single experienced surgeon. There are total 15 score from history, clinical and sonological findings. They were evaluated and scored on the basis of scoring system of Randhawa and Pujahari. Score up to 5 is defined as easy, 6-10 as difficult and 11-15 as very difficult.Result: Previous history of hospitalization for cholecystitis and increased gall bladder wall thickness were found statistically significant in predicting difficult LC.Conclusion: The scoring system had a positive prediction value for easy prediction of 81.9% and for difficult prediction of 75%.

Abstract During laparoscopic cholecystectomy, gallbladder perforation may occur leading to gallstone spillage and despite being rare, early or late complications may therefore develop. We report a case of a 79-year-old female, with a past medical history of a laparoscopic cholecystectomy 3 years earlier for symptomatic gallstones, admitted in the emergency department with a subcutaneous right lumbar abscess confirmed by computed tomography. Emergent abscess surgical drainage was performed and a gallstone was identified during saline lavage. Postoperative evolution was unremarkable and follow-up within a year was uneventful. Split gallstones due to gallbladder perforation during laparoscopic cholecystectomy should be retrieved in order to reduce future complications.

Experience with laparoscopic cholecystectomy for biliary dyskinesia in children remains limited. The aim of this study was to examine the results of a single institution's experience with laparoscopic cholecystectomy for the treatment biliary dyskinesia in the pediatric population. Medical records were reviewed on all patients younger than age 18 who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy at our institution from July 2004 to December 2006. Patients undergoing surgery for biliary dyskinesia, as evidenced by a preoperative gallbladder ejection fraction of 40 per cent or less, comprised the study group. Of the 51 pediatric laparoscopic cholecystectomies, 30 (58.8%) were performed for biliary dyskinesia. The patients’ ages ranged from 7 to 17 (mean, 12.67 years; SD, 2.75). Symptoms consisted of chronic right upper quadrant pain (96.67%), nausea/vomiting (73.33%), back pain (30.0%), weight loss (13.33%), and a history of pancreatitis (6.66%). The amount of time between onset of symptoms and surgery was as follows: 1 to 3 months (34.62%), 4 to 6 months (30.77%), 7 to 12 months (7.69%), and greater than 1 year (26.92%). Gallbladder ejection fraction ranged from 1 to 36 per cent (mean, 14.7%). Seven of the 30 (26.67%) underwent endoscopic evaluation as part of their preoperative workup (six upper endoscopy, one colonoscopy), all of which were noncontributory. Pathology revealed chronic cholecystitis in 26 of 30 (93.3%), no abnormalities in three of 30 (10.0%), and unexpected cholelithiasis in one of 30 (3.33%). No perioperative complications were encountered. Twenty-nine of the 30 patients were available for follow up and all but one reported relief of symptoms (96.55%). This study supports the use of laparoscopic cholecystectomy as a safe and effective treatment for biliary dyskinesia in the pediatric population. The success rate in our study was substantially higher than that reported in previous series. Routine preoperative endoscopy was not used and was reserved for investigation of ambiguous or unrelated complaints.

Aim. To analyze the factors associated with a poor outcome of pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) and complications of the hospital postoperative period; on the basis of this analysis to optimize preoperative preparation and therapeutic support of the operation. Materials and methods. The study included 47 patients with operable CTEPH, who underwent PTE in the Department of cardiovascular surgery of the national medical research center of cardiology from 2010 to 2018. Patients were observed during the intrahospital period, all were evaluated for clinical, instrumental, hemodynamic, and laboratory parameters. Diagnosis and treatment of complications, assessment of the relationship of factors associated with the development of these pathological conditions were carried out. Results. A comprehensive assessment of the parameters revealed that age over 50 years, the presence of proven antiphospholipid syndrome (AFS) were independently associated with a higher frequency of adverse surgical outcomes and in-hospital complications. Older age and a history of smoking were independently associated with a greater likelihood of developing reperfusion pulmonary edema. The probability of developing transient neurological complications is independently associated with a long duration of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA), an increased level of D-dimer. A greater age and longer duration of ventilation are independently associated with the likelihood of developing acute kidney injury (AKI). A higher level of antithrombin III and the presence of AFS were independently associated with the likelihood of developing prolonged ventilation. Conclusion. When selecting candidates for surgery, in addition to the generally accepted clinical and instrumental parameters, it is necessary to take into account a history of Smoking, an increase in d-dimer, and the presence of AFS. Patients with this pathology need a more thorough risk assessment, correction of target levels of activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), activated clotting time (ACT) due to their falsely inflated indicators, and further development of standards for perioperative support. The main principle of cardiological support of the operation is the earliest possible diagnosis of all known perioperative complications and the rapid start of their treatment, which ensures the stabilization of the patient’s condition in 85% of cases in the hospital period. In the postoperative period, an early transition from ventilator to independent breathing is indicated for the prevention of associated complications, including AKI.

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has become the gold standard treatment for gallstone disease. Though mostly safe occasionally it can be difficult due to various problems faced during surgical procedure. Anticipation of likely difficulty can help in avoiding complications.Methods: With the aim of identifying various predictors of difficulty and their correlation with likely difficulty this prospective study on 50 adults undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy for symptomatic cholelithiasis was undertaken. Various clinical, radiological and biochemical predictors and frequency and type of intraoperative difficulty was recorded.Results: In present study adverse clinical factors only showed significant predictive value (p value - 0.005). Adverse radiological predictors although showing trend towards, did not achieve statistical significance (p value 0.065). In clinical predictors duration of symptoms >1yr, History of acute cholecystitis and BMI >30 showed statistically significant association. Age >50yrs, Male gender, radiological predictors (Thickened gall bladder wall, small contracted gall bladder, Single large impacted stone) and deranged LFT did not show significant predictive value.Conclusions: Clinical predictors are most reliable factors. Use of good clinical judgement regarding possibility of and likely difficulty along with understanding of available resources is important in making decision in each case.

Background: Gall stones is one of the most common diseases in man. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the preferred procedure, mainly due to lower morbidity and mortality, thus returning to the normal activity sooner, lesser number of hospital days and lesser pain post-surgery. However, around 2-15% of the patients need to convert from laparoscopic to open surgery due to different reasons.Methods: 357 patients who came in for laparoscopic cholecystectomy were included into the study. Details such as age, height, weight, BMI, mode of surgery i.e. emergency or elective, physical and clinical examination including Ultrasound, lab results, previous history of surgery and other co morbidities were noted.Results: Out of the 357 patients, 31(8.7%) were converted to open cholecystectomies, of which, 61.3% females and 38.7% males. 58% in the open cholecystectomy group were above 60 years. 67.7% of the patients who converted to open surgery had a BMI of over 25, while it was 39.6%   in case of laparoscopic surgery. 74.2% among the patients who had undergone conversion to the open surgery had pain in the right hypochondrium, 67.7% had increased WBC levels.Conclusions: Increased age, obesity, tenderness in the RHC, increased WBC levels, acute cholecystitis are the predisposing factors for the conversion of laparoscopic cholecystectomy to open cystectomy.
