Is Routine Use of Histopathological Examination Necessary After Cholecystectomy ?
CholelithiasisCholecystectomy has been made with benign conditions usually. The aim of this study is to compare the macroscopic evaluations of the cholecystectomy specimens with it's histopathological examinations.
Single Setting ERCP and Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is a Safe Procedure in Patients With Cholecysto-Choledocholithiasis...
Choledocholithiasis With Cholecystitis With ObstructionCholedocholithiasis With Acute and Chronic Cholecystitis1 moreThe ideal management of cholecysto-choledocholithiasis is an open cholecystectomy (OC) with the common bile duct (CBD) exploration worldwide. The single setting 2-stage approach- endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST), and CBD clearance followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) offers an advantage, mainly by reducing the hospital stay, the cost, and the morbidity. Investigators did a prospective study in patients admitted for the management of the cholecysto-choledocholithiasis in the Department of Surgery at the Lumbini Medical College and Teaching Hospital from November 2012- October 2015. They underwent 2-stage ERCP+LC in a single setting and investigators compared them with 2-stage OC+CBD exploration in a single setting approach. The patients with the open procedure were the investigator's control groups. All the included cases in the study were elective.
Success of Intraoperative Cholangiography
CholecystolithiasisCholedocholithiasisThe purpose of the present study was to evaluate the success of routine use of intraoperative cholangiography (IOC ) and to examine the factors that are hindering the performance of intraoperative c-arm cholangiography.
Potential Pulmonary Benefit of Low Pressure Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy in Selected Patients
Cholecystitis/CholelithiasisCholecystitis; Gallstone1 moreStandard Pressure Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy,as the standard for cholecystectomy, can lead to about 15% of pulmonary atelectasis. According to literature, low pressure laparoscopic cholecystectomy is thought to probably decrease cardio-pulmonary related complications and postoperative pain. However, the previous studies have presented controversial results. Our study aim to evaluate the potential pulmonary benefit of low pressure laparoscopic cholecystectomy in elderly or patients accompanied with cardio-pulmonary disorders.
Open Cholecystectomy Among Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.
CholelithiasisLaparoscopic Cholecystectomy1 moreIn the current era, laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the treatment of choice for symptomatic gallstone disease. The aim of this study is to find out the prevalence of open cholecystectomy among patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a tertiary care center.
Prospective Validation of "Cholecystectomy First" Strategy for Gallstone Migration
CholedocholithiasisGallstone Migration3 moreInitial cholecystectomy with intraoperative cholangiogram, followed if required by ERCP, has been implemented at the investigators institution as the standard management strategy for patients at intermediate risk of common bile duct stone migration, following a randomized controlled trial previously published by the same investigators team. The aim of this study is to prospectively analyze the outcomes of this strategy.
