Different Timing for Early Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy in Acute Calcular Cholecystitis

Acute Cholecystitis

The ideal timing for ELC continues to be debatable in patients with acute calculator cholecystitis (ACC). This study was planned to identify the impact of different ELC timing in ACC on surgical outcomes in terms of safety and efficacy

M-Tapa Block vs External Oblique Intercostal Block for Laparoscopic Cholesistectomy

CholecystitisCholecystitis1 more

Ultrasound (US)-guided Modified Perichondral Approach Thoracoabdominal Nerve (M-TAPA) block is a novel block that provides effective analgesia in the anterior and lateral abdominal walls after laparoscopic surgery, and local anesthetic is applied only to the lower side of the perichondral surface. M-TAPA block is a good alternative for analgesia of the upper dermatome levels and the abdominal lateral wall and may be an opioid-sparing strategy with good quality recovery in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. US-guided External oblique intercostal block (EOB) is a block performed by injection of local anesthetic between the external and internal oblique muscles. This block provides abdominal analgesia between T6-T10 levels. There are studies in the literature showing that it provides effective analgesia. However, there is no study comparing M-TAPA and EOB yet. In this study, our aim is to compare the effectiveness of US-guided M-TAPA block and EOB for postoperative analgesia management after laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery. Our primary aim is to compare patient recovery scores (QoR15 Turkish version), our secondary aim is to compare postoperative pain scores (24-hour NRS), postoperative rescue analgesic use (opioid), and opioid-related side effects (allergic reaction, nausea, vomiting).

Modified Perichondral Approach Thoracoabdominal Nerve (M-TAPA) block is a novel block that provides effective analgesia of the anterior and lateral thoracoabdominal walls during laparoscopic surgery, in which local anesthetic is applied only to the lower side of the perichondral surface. M-TAPA block is a good alternative for analgesia of the upper dermatome levels and the abdominal lateral wall, and may be an opioid-sparing strategy with satisfactory quality improvement in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery.

Harmonic in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy for Acute Cholecystitis

Cholecystitis

In the developmental stage of laparoscopic cholecystectomy it was considered 'unsafe' or 'technically difficult' to perform laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis. With increasing experience in laparoscopic surgery, a number of centers have reported on the use of laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis, suggesting that it is technically feasible but at the expense of a high conversion rate, which can be up to 35 per cent and common bile duct lesions. The HARMONIC SCALPEL® (H) is the leading ultrasonic cutting and coagulating surgical device, offering surgeons important benefits including: minimal lateral thermal tissue damage, minimal charring and desiccation. H technology reduces the need for ligatures with simultaneous cutting and coagulation: moreover there is not electricity to or through the patient H has a greater precision near vital structures and it produces minimal smoke with improved visibility in the surgical field. In retrospective series LC performed with H was demonstrated feasible and effective with minimal operating time and blood loss: it was reported also a low conversion rate (3.9%). However there are not prospective randomized controlled trials showing the advantages of H compared to MD (the commonly used electrical scalpel) in LC. Aim of this RCT is to demonstrate that H can reduce conversion rate compared to MD in LC for AC.

The aim of this project is to investigate the presence of bacteria in the gallbladder wall and the bile in patients undergoing cholecystectomy, to determine if the standard empirical antibiotic treatment used currently is effective against the most common pathogens.

Effect Of Early Versus Delayed Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy In Patients With Grade II Cholecystitis...

Cholecystitis

The timing ofthe cholecystectomy in patients with acute cholecystitis is still controversial. In our study, we aimed toinvestigate the effect of early and delayed cholecystectomy on difficultcholecystectomy, morbidity and mortality in patients diagnosed with Grade IIcholecystitis according to Tokyo 2018 guidelines.

CholelithiasisCholecystitis2 more

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a fluorescent die and a special infrared camera can assist with the identification of the important structures during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This finding may assist surgeons to perform laparoscopic cholecystectomy in less time and in a safer fashion than standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Acute Cholecystitis - Early Laparoscopic Surgery Versus Antibiotic Therapy and Delayed Elective...

Acute Cholecystitis

Acute cholecystitis is frequent in the elderly, or in patients with gall stones. Most cases of severe or recurrent cholecystitis need surgery as final therapy. Today, the performed procedure in most cases for cholecystectomy in the western world is laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Only in some cases an open surgery has to be performed. Unclear is, what time point is best, concerning outcome and morbidity of the patient, immediate surgery or initial conservative therapy using antibiotics and symptomatic therapy with cholecystectomy later on. Today the performed procedure is mainly chosen by the fact, what doctor sees the patient first, surgeon or gastroenterologist. This study is performed to evaluate if one therapy is superior.

Is it Safe to do Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy for Acute Cholecystitis up to Seven Days?

Acute Cholecystitis

Objectives: To compare the safety of early (≤72h) versus late (>72h-7days) laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) from symptom onset for acute cholecystitis (AC). Background: As LC within 72h of symptom onset was considered the optimum time, sometimes there was a delay in diagnosis and management. So, we raised the question of safety and feasibility of performing LC to patients with AC who failed to have LC within 72h of acute attack. Patients and Methods: This was a prospective, randomized, double-blind, clinical trial; carried out on 120 patients presented with AC between September 2017 and April 2019. Patients were randomly allocated into two equal groups assigned to LC; group E: within 72h of symptom onset, and group L: after 72h up to seven days from symptom onset.
