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...

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.

Summary

This study reviews 17 choledochal cyst cases managed between 1999-2009. Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy proved effective with low complication rates in pediatric patients.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Management

Background:

  • Choledochal cysts are congenital biliary anomalies requiring surgical intervention.
  • Early diagnosis and management are crucial for preventing complications like cholangitis and malignancy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the institutional experience in managing choledochal cysts over a ten-year period.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness and complication rates of surgical management.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective chart review of 17 patients diagnosed with choledochal cysts (1999-2009).
  • Data analysis included patient demographics, presenting symptoms, diagnostic methods (Ultrasound), surgical procedure (Roux-en-Y Hepaticojejunostomy), and post-operative outcomes.
  • Follow-up included Liver Function Tests and Ultrasound.

Laparoscopic Choledochal Cyst Excision and Roux-en-Y Choledochojejunostomy in Adults

Published on: February 28, 2025

Main Results:

  • 17 patients (9 female, 8 male) diagnosed with choledochal cysts.
  • Common symptoms included obstructive jaundice (35%) and abdominal pain/vomiting (23%).
  • Three patients experienced complications: post-operative collection, high drain output, and adhesive bowel obstruction.

Conclusions:

  • Roux-en-Y Hepaticojejunostomy is an effective surgical approach for choledochal cysts.
  • The management strategy resulted in positive outcomes with low complication rates in this cohort.
