AI Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates treatment outcomes for 185 patients with acute cholecystitis and bile duct issues, highlighting the high risks associated with surgical procedures.
- For 83 patients, an endoscopic approach (papillosphincterotomy) was used initially, with nasobiliary drainage or laparoscopic cholecystostomy applied as needed.
- A two-stage treatment process is recommended, allowing recovery from severe conditions before addressing bile duct changes, which helps lower postoperative complications based on the severity of each patient's condition.
Article Abstract
The authors analyse the results of treatment of 185 patients with acute cholecystitis coexisting with affection of the bile ducts. In view of the high risk of operative treatment, endoscopic papillosphincterotomy was undertaken as the first stage in 83 patients and was completed by nasobiliary drainage in 46 of them, in still another 12 patients decompression was accomplished by means of laparoscopic cholecystostomy . Surgical intervention was carried out in the second stage after the patients recovered from a grave condition and obstructive jaundice and intoxication caused by purulent cholangitis were corrected. Another 90 patients underwent surgical operation without preliminary decompression in a postponed order (67 patients) and for emergency and urgent indications (19 patients) in vital conditions due to peritoneal phenomena. The changes in the bile ducts were corrected in them in the second stage, which reduced the risk of the development of postoperative complications. The authors emphasize the importance of two-stage treatment in coexistence of lesions and of a differential approach to the treatment of this contingent of patients according to the character and severity of the inflammatory process and the severity of the patients' condition.

Objectives: To combine sonographic Murphy sign (SMS) with clinical parameters to effectively stratify patients into risk groups for acute cholecystitis.
Methods: Consecutive emergency department patients from April 1, 2019 to August 31, 2022 with possible acute cholecystitis were grouped using patient age, sex, and white blood cell count to determine the rate of acute cholecystitis found in subgroups. Three distinct clinical risk groups were established and then regrouped by prospective assessment of SMS into three non-imaging risk groups.

Background: The optimal timing of surgery for acute cholecystitis has been a subject of debate, but the predominant view supports early cholecystectomy. This study investigated the safety of early cholecystectomy during weekends compared with delayed surgery until a weekday.
Methods: This was a population-based cohort study based on data from the Swedish National Register for Gallstone Surgery and Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (GallRiks).

Introduction: Choledocholithiasis is a common clinical condition that may present with severe complications such as acute cholecystitis or cholangitis, requiring treatment on an emergency setting. This situation is frequently managed following an endoscopic approach by ERCP. However, access to emergent endoscopic biliary decompression is lacking in most centers.

Epigastric pain and vomiting are common presentations associated with various causes of acute abdomen. Acute abdomen encompasses a range of different pathologies, with epigastric pain narrowing the differential diagnosis to conditions such as pancreatitis, bowel obstruction, acute cholecystitis, gastritis, acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and peptic ulcer disease, such as gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers with/without perforation. This is a case of a male patient in his 80s who came to the emergency department with symptoms of generalized abdominal pain, vomiting, and constipation.
