Cholecystitis01:20

Cholecystitis

32
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 II: Colonoscopy

1.3K
The colon, or large intestine, is the final segment of the digestive system. Its primary functions include absorbing water and vitamins produced by gut bacteria and transforming waste from liquid to solid to form stool. In adults, the large intestine is approximately 5 feet long and consists of four main sections:

Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction

26
Acute pancreatitis is the sudden inflammation of the pancreas caused by the early activation of digestive enzymes, leading to the autodigestion of pancreatic tissue. This results in local inflammation and, in severe cases, systemic complications.EtiologyUnderstanding the underlying causes is crucial, as identifying the etiology guides treatment and anticipates complications. Acute pancreatitis can be triggered by various factors, typically grouped into the following clinical categories.Biliary...

Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction

1.5K
Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas, an organ located behind the stomach. It can be either acute or chronic.
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.
The causes of acute pancreatitis include:

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction01:17

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction

906
Chronic bowel diseases are a group of long-term conditions affecting the digestive tract, characterized by inflammation and damage to the gut lining. These conditions primarily include irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

1.2K
Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Complications

Background:

  • Acute cholecystitis is inflammation of the gallbladder.
  • Colonoscopy is a common diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedure.
  • Post-procedural complications, while rare, require careful consideration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a rare case of acute cholecystitis following colonoscopy and hot snare polypectomy.
  • To document the first reported instance of this complication in Korea.

Main Methods:

  • A case report of a 35-year-old male patient.
  • Review of clinical presentation, laboratory data, and imaging findings.
  • Description of colonoscopy procedure including hot snare polypectomy for sigmoid polyp removal.

Main Results:

  • The patient developed acute cholecystitis 48 hours post-colonoscopy.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed through clinical, laboratory, and radiological assessments.
  • No similar cases have been previously reported in Korean literature.

Conclusions:

  • Acute cholecystitis is a rare but possible complication after colonoscopy with polypectomy.
  • Early recognition and management are crucial for patients presenting with post-colonoscopy symptoms.
  • This case expands the understanding of potential gastrointestinal endoscopy-related adverse events.
