Cholecystitis01:20

Cholecystitis

Cholecystitis is inflammation of the gallbladder, most commonly caused by obstruction of the cystic duct. This blockage prevents bile from draining, leading to gallbladder distension, inflammation, and potentially serious complications. This condition may present acutely or chronically and can happen with or without gallstones.EtiologyAbout 95% of cholecystitis cases are calculous, caused by gallstones blocking the cystic duct, leading to bile accumulation and inflammation of the gallbladder...
Gallbladder01:17

Gallbladder

The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ that plays a crucial role in our digestive system. Measuring about 10 cm in length, it is comparable in size to a kiwi fruit and is located in a hollow area on the lower surface of the liver. The gallbladder's primary function is to store and concentrate bile, a fluid produced by the liver that aids in digestion.
The gallbladder's anatomy consists of three regions: the fundus, body, and neck. Extending from the neck, the cystic duct joins the common...

Diseases of the Liver and Gallbladder

Liver and gallbladder diseases are a significant health concern, with prominent conditions including cirrhosis, hepatitis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and gallstones. Jaundice is a common manifestation of liver and biliary disease.
Cirrhosis is characterized by the scarring of hepatic lobules in the liver, which are replaced by fibrous tissue, affecting the liver's normal functioning. NAFLD, on the other hand, is caused by an excessive build-up of fat in the liver, not related to...

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Anatomy
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Left-sided gallbladder is a rare congenital anomaly.
  • It occurs without complete situs inversus viscerum.
  • This anomaly can pose diagnostic and surgical challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report on the laparoscopic management of left-sided gallbladder.
  • To highlight the importance of awareness and specific techniques for safe surgery.
  • To discuss the implications for surgical planning and execution.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of two patients with left-sided gallbladder.
  • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed for chronic calculous cholecystitis.
  • Review of pre-operative imaging and intraoperative findings.

Main Results:

  • Successful laparoscopic cholecystectomy in both cases.
  • The anomaly was not always detected by routine pre-operative studies.
  • Unpredictable cystic duct to common bile duct (CBD) confluence was noted.

Conclusions:

  • Left-sided gallbladder requires surgical vigilance.
  • Intraoperative cholangiography is crucial for safe management.
  • Surgeons must be prepared for anatomical variations during laparoscopy.
