Gallbladder01:17

Gallbladder

1.1K
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...

Appendicitis-II: Diagnostic Studies and Management

172
Diagnosing and managing appendicitis requires a structured and comprehensive approach that spans from initial assessment to postoperative care. Here is an overview of the process:
Diagnosing Appendicitis
It requires a multifaceted approach, starting with a detailed physical examination to pinpoint the location and nature of the pain and identify any associated symptoms. Laboratory tests play a crucial role. A complete Blood Count (CBC) typically reveals leukocytosis (an increased number of...

Diseases of the Liver and Gallbladder

1.4K
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...

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

1.1K
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.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Anatomy
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery
  • Congenital Anomalies

Background:

  • Ectopic gallbladder is a rare congenital anomaly.
  • Often diagnosed incidentally during surgery, posing technical challenges.

Observation:

  • A 64-year-old male with gallstone disease presented for surgery.
  • Pre-operative imaging showed no positional abnormalities.
  • Laparoscopy revealed an ectopic gallbladder under the left lobe of the liver, attached to the falciform ligament.

Findings:

  • The patient had a true ectopic gallbladder without situs inversus.
  • The anomaly was located under segment III, left of the falciform ligament.

Implications:

  • Early division of the falciform ligament is recommended.
  • Careful gallbladder dissection before clipping cystic duct/artery is crucial to prevent complications.
  • Highlights the importance of recognizing rare anatomical variations in surgical planning.
