Its longevity, especially the rate at which it transitions from benign to malignant growths, remains ambiguous. Consequently, it is imperative to elucidate the intrinsic progression of this precancerous lesion in the gallbladder.

Background: Patients with prior abdominal surgeries are at higher risk of intra-peritoneal adhesions near the trocar entry site, increasing the likelihood of organ injury during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). This study evaluates a novel technique where the epigastric trocar is inserted first, after creating pneumoperitoneum, to allow safe dissection of adhesions under direct vision before placing the umbilical trocar.

Methods: This prospective study included 244 patients with symptomatic uncomplicated gallstone disease and a history of previous abdominal surgeries extending to the umbilicus.

Background: Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) are closely associated with lipoprotein metabolism, and changes in lipid profiles potentially affect their levels and functions. Given the alterations in lipid metabolism after cholecystectomy, this study aimed to investigate the levels of four EET regioisomers (free and esterified) and lipid profiles in patients with cholelithiasis after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and explore correlations between these parameters.

Methods: This prospective study involved 40 patients with symptomatic cholelithiasis who underwent LC.

Cholecystoenteric fistulas are a rare complication of chronic gallstone disease. If not diagnosed on time, they can cause several complications such as gallstone ileus, gastric outlet obstruction (Bouveret syndrome), cholangitis, or liver abscess. We present a case of a patient with chronic calculous cholecystitis, who was admitted due to unspecific abdominal discomfort and impaired liver function with increased cholestatic liver enzymes.
