Preoperatively suspected gallbladder cancer improves survival compared with incidental gallbladder cancer in pT3 patients.

Background: The aim was to compare survival for incidental gallbladder cancer (IGBC), respectively, preoperatively suspected gallbladder cancer (GBC), subjected to surgery for different pathological tumour (pT) stages and in different treatment groups in a national cohort.

Methods: Data were collected and crosslinked from two national quality registers, SweLiv (2009-2019) and GallRiks (2009-2016). Survival was estimated using Kaplan-Meier analysis.

A risk score model to predict incidental gallbladder cancer in patients scheduled for cholecystectomy.

Background: Gallbladder cancer (GBC) has a poor prognosis. The aim was to develop and validate a preoperative risk score for incidental gallbladder cancer (IGBC) in patients scheduled for cholecystectomy.

Methods: Data registered in the nationwide Swedish Registry for Gallstone Surgery (GallRiks) was analyzed, including the derivation cohort (n = 28915, 2007-2014) and the validation cohort (n = 7851, 2014-2016).

Incidental metastases and lymphoma of the gallbladder - an analysis of ten rare cases identified from a large national database.

The aim was to identify and characterize rare malignancies of the gallbladder, incidentally found at cholecystectomy, and describe the diagnostic work-up, treatment and outcome. Data from cholecystectomies during 2007-2014 registered in the Swedish Register for Gallstone Surgery (GallRiks) were analyzed for incidental cancer. For completion of the pathology report, data were linked with the Swedish Registry for Cancer in the liver and biliary tract (SweLiv) and/or the Swedish Cancer Registry.

Are Incidental Gallbladder Cancers Missed with a Selective Approach of Gallbladder Histology at Cholecystectomy?

Background: Incidental gallbladder cancer (IGBC) is an unexpected finding when a cholecystectomy is performed upon a benign indication, and the use of routine or selective histological analysis of gallbladder specimen is still debated. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the proportion of submitted gallbladder specimens for pathological investigation influences the proportion of IGBC found, and what possible factors preoperatively or perioperatively could influence the selection process.

Methods: All cholecystectomies between January 2007 and September 2014 registered in the Swedish Registry of Gallstone Surgery and ERCP (GallRiks) were included.

Predictors of incidental gallbladder cancer in patients undergoing cholecystectomy for benign gallbladder disease: Results from a population-based gallstone surgery registry.

Background: Gallbladder cancer is a rare neoplasm with a poor prognosis. Early diagnosis and correct treatment strategy is important. The aim of this study was to identify predictors for incidental gallbladder cancer.

Prophylactic treatment with proton pump inhibitors in children operated on for oesophageal atresia.

Introduction: Oesophageal stricture is a frequent complication following repair of oesophageal atresia (EA). The aim of this study was to conduct a pre- and postintervention study and analyze the incidence of stricture formation and need for balloon dilatation after introducing prophylactic proton pump inhibitor (PPI) treatment. CHILDREN AND DESIGN: All children operated for EA during 2001 to 2009 (n = 39) were treated with prophylactic PPIs (PPI group) for at least 3 months postoperatively.
