Preoperative upper gastrointestinal evaluation before elective cholecystectomy is valuable. Oesophagogastroduodenoscopy changed treatment plans in 11.7% of patients, optimizing gallbladder surgery outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology

Context:

  • Elective cholecystectomy is a common surgical procedure.
  • Preoperative assessment is crucial for optimizing patient care.
  • The role of upper gastrointestinal investigation prior to gallbladder surgery requires clarification.

Purpose:

  • To prospectively evaluate the utility of preoperative oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) in patients undergoing elective cholecystectomy.
  • To determine the rate of upper gastrointestinal abnormalities detected by EGD.
  • To assess the impact of EGD findings on surgical planning and patient management.

Summary:

  • A prospective study involved 960 patients scheduled for elective cholecystectomy.
  • 589 oesophagogastroduodenoscopies were performed as part of the preoperative assessment.

  • Abnormalities were detected in 44% of patients, leading to changes in the treatment plan for 11.7% (113 patients).

    • Impact:

    • Preoperative EGD identified significant upper gastrointestinal pathology in a substantial proportion of patients.
    • Findings altered management in 11.7% of cases, including conservative therapy (1.1%), simultaneous procedures (3.2%), and delayed cholecystectomy (7.4%).
    • This investigation supports the routine use of EGD to refine surgical indications and optimize patient outcomes for elective cholecystectomy.
