    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Diagnostics
    • Biliary System Physiology

    Background:

    • Cholecystectomy often involves interventions on the common bile duct and papilla.
    • Accurate intraoperative assessment of biliary pressure and flow is crucial for patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of intraoperative manometry in assessing the common bile duct and papilla during cholecystectomy.
    • To determine the diagnostic accuracy of manometry in identifying biliary duct and papillary alterations.

    Main Methods:

    • Intraoperative manometry was performed on 771 patients undergoing cholecystectomy.
    • Measurements included resting pressure (RP), pressure increase (PI), and return time (TR) after saline injection.
    • Statistical analysis utilized the two-tailed t-test to compare manometric parameters.

    Main Results:

    • All manometric parameters (RP, PI, TR) showed statistically significant differences (p ≤ 0.0001) between patients with and without biliary alterations.
    • TR, an indirect measure of bile flow, differed significantly (p = 0.0001) between patients with papillary stenosis and bile duct calculi.
    • Histopathological analysis correlated prolonged TR with papillary changes, while decreased TR was observed in patients with negative histology.
    • The manometric method demonstrated high sensitivity (92.4%) and specificity (98.6%).

    Conclusions:

    • Intraoperative manometry provides precise, reproducible data on bile duct pressure and flow, unaffected by subjective errors.
    • This method significantly complements existing intraoperative diagnostic techniques during cholecystectomy.
    • Manometry was essential for correct final diagnosis in 2% of cases, highlighting its clinical importance.
