Abstract
AIM This study aimed to investigate the impact of preoperative gallbladder drainage and the specific drainage method used on surgical outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for acute cholecystitis. METHODS This single-center retrospective cohort study included 221 patients who underwent early cholecystectomy between January 2016 and December 2020. Clinical data and outcomes of 140 patients who did not undergo drainage, 22 patients who underwent preoperative percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD), and 59 patients who underwent preoperative endoscopic naso-gallbladder drainage (ENGBD) were compared. RESULTS There was no difference in the operation time, blood loss, postoperative complications, or length of postoperative hospital stay between patients who did and did not undergo drainage. Among patients who underwent drainage, there was no difference between the ENGBD and PTGBD groups in operation time, blood loss, or postoperative complications; however, more patients in the PTGBD group underwent laparotomy and had a significantly longer postoperative hospital stay. The presence and type of drainage were not risk factors for postoperative complications. CONCLUSION The presence or absence of preoperative gallbladder drainage for acute cholecystitis and the type of drainage may not significantly affect surgical outcomes.

Surg Laparosc Endosc Percutan Tech 2024; 34:62-68.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder aspiration (PTGBA) and/or drainage (PTGBD) are useful approaches in the management of acute cholecystitis in patients who cannot tolerate surgery because of poor general condition or severe inflammation. However, reports regarding its effect on the surgical outcomes of subsequent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) are sparse. The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the influence of PTGBA on surgical outcomes of subsequent LC by comparing the only-PTGBA group, including patients who did not need the additional-PTGBD, versus the additional-PTGBD group, including those who needed the additional-PTGBD after PTGBA. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a post hoc analysis of our multi-institutional data. This study included 63 patients who underwent LC after PTGBA, and we compared the surgical outcomes between the only-PTGBA group (n = 56) and the additional-PTGBD group (n = 7). RESULTS No postoperative complications occurred among the 63 patients, and the postoperative hospital stay was 11 ± 12 days. Fourteen patients (22.2%) had a recurrence of cholecystitis, of whom 7 patients (11.1%) needed the additional-PTGBD after PTGBA. Significantly longer operative time (245 ± 74 vs 159 ± 65 min, P = 0.0017) and postoperative hospital stay (22 ± 27 vs 10 ± 9 d, P = 0.0118) and greater intraoperative blood loss (279 ± 385 vs 70 ± 208 mL, P = 0.0283) were observed among patients in the additional-PTGBD group compared with the only-PTGBA group, whereas the rates of postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo grade ≥3: 0% each) and conversion to open surgery (28.6% vs 8.9%, P = 0.1705) were comparable. CONCLUSION PTGBA for acute cholecystitis could result in good surgical outcomes of subsequent LC, especially regarding postoperative complications. However, we should keep in mind that the additional-PTGBD after PTGBA failure, which sometimes happened, would be associated with increased operative difficulty and longer recovery.

Endoscopic internalization by cutting versus removal of the endoscopic transpapillary naso-gallbladder drainage tube in preoperative management of acute cholecystitis: A retrospective multicenter cohort study. JOURNAL OF HEPATO-BILIARY-PANCREATIC SCIENCES 2023; 30:1152-1160. [PMID: 37337417 DOI: 10.1002/jhbp.1344] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2023] [Revised: 04/03/2023] [Accepted: 04/14/2023] [Indexed: 06/21/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic transpapillary naso-gallbladder drainage (ENGBD) has been reported to be an effective treatment option for acute cholecystitis. At our institution, ENGBD was first placed for external fistula management, and endoscopic internalization by cutting was performed, shifting to endoscopic transpapillary gallbladder stenting (EGBS) after improvement of cholecystitis. However, there has been no comparative study to define which preoperative management is better: converting ENGBD to EGBS or removing ENGBD. The study aimed to compare the incidence rate of the late adverse events (AEs) related to biliary system between shifting from ENGBD to EGBS and removal of ENGBD. METHODS We retrospectively studied 122 patients who underwent ENGBD for acute cholecystitis between January 2010 and October 2022. The patients were divided into two groups: the cutting group (converting ENGBD to EGBS) and the removal group (removal of ENGBD). The short and late clinical outcomes were compared between groups. RESULTS Endoscopic transpapillary naso-gallbladder drainage was successfully placed in 78.6% (96/122), and elective cholecystectomy was performed in 31 and 36 patients in the cutting and removal groups, respectively. The cumulative late-AE rates were 6.4% and 33.3% (p = .007), with a median waiting period for elective cholecystectomy of 58 and 33 days (p = .390) in the cutting and removal groups, respectively. In the multivariate analysis, only endoscopic internalization by cutting was an independent factor affecting late AEs. CONCLUSION Endoscopic internalization by cutting ENGBD after the resolution of acute cholecystitis was considered effective in reducing the risk of late AEs during the waiting period for an elective cholecystectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High risk surgical patients with acute cholecystitis are commonly treated with percutaneous cholecystostomy (PTC) drainage. The optimal timing of subsequent interval laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) remains unclear. METHODS Medline, EMBASE, and Scopus were searched to identify studies published between 01/01/2000 and 31/12/2020, reporting on interval LC outcomes in patients initially treated by PTC. Early and late interval LC were defined as <30 and ≥ 30 days respectively. The Methodological Index for Nonrandomized Studies was used for quality assessment. Meta-analysis of proportions was conducted using a random-effects model. RESULTS A total of 512 studies were screened, 41 met the inclusion criteria. There were 22 studies in both early and late interval LC groups, with 3 included studies reporting both early and late groups. Following quality assessment, 29 studies were included in the meta-analysis. There were no significant differences between early and late interval LC in terms of conversion rates (7.2% vs 8.3%, p = 0.854), 90-day morbidity (12.8% vs 15.9%, p = 0.496), and 90-day mortality (0.25% vs 0.32%, p = 0.704). Heterogeneity was significant (I2>50%) in all groups. CONCLUSION Current evidence of interval LC within or beyond 30 days demonstrates no significant impact on outcomes. Patient factors, clinical experience, and hospital facilities may prove more important predictors.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Subtotal cholecystectomy (STC) has become recognized as a "bailout procedure" to prevent bile duct injury in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Predictors of conversion to STC have not been identified because LC difficulty varies based on pericholecystic inflammation. We analyzed data from patients enrolled in a previously performed multi-institutional retrospective study of the optimal timing of LC after gallbladder drainage for acute cholecystitis (AC). These patients presumably had a considerable degree of pericholecystic inflammation. METHODS In total, 347 patients who underwent LC after gallbladder drainage for AC were analyzed to examine preoperative and perioperative factors predicting conversion to STC. RESULTS Three hundred patients underwent total cholecystectomy (TC) and 47 underwent conversion to STC. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) (P < .01), severity of cholecystitis (P = .04), previous history of treatment for common bile duct stones (CBDS) (P < .01), and surgeon experience (P = .03) were significantly associated with conversion to STC. Logistic regression analyses showed that ECOG PS (odds ratio 0.2; P < .0001) and previous history of treatment for CBDS (odds ratio 0.37; P = .0073) were independent predictors of conversion to STC. Our predictive risk score using these two variables suggested that a score ≥2 could discriminate between TC and STC (P < .0001). CONCLUSION Poor ECOG PS and previous history of treatment for CBDS were significantly associated with conversion to STC after gallbladder drainage for AC.

Effect of Preserving the Percutaneous Gallbladder Drainage Tube Before Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy on Surgical Outcome: Post Hoc Analysis of the CSGO-HBP-017. J Gastrointest Surg 2022; 26:1224-1232. [PMID: 35314945 DOI: 10.1007/s11605-022-05291-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2022] [Accepted: 02/26/2022] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND When percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD) is followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), there is no consensus regarding whether the drainage tube should be preserved or removed before LC. We hypothesized that the surgical results of LC might differ between cases with PTGBD tube preservation versus removal. Here, we investigated how drainage tube preservation or removal affected the surgical outcome of LC. METHODS Using data from our previous multicenter study, we compared LC outcomes after PTGBD between patients with PTGBD tube preservation versus removal. This study included 208 patients who underwent LC over 12 days after PTGBD. In 83 cases, the PTGBD tube was preserved until LC, and in 125 cases, the tube was removed before LC. The results were verified by propensity score matching with 50 patients in each group. RESULTS Cases with tube preservation versus removal exhibited significantly longer surgery duration (174 ± 105 min vs 145 ± 61 min, P = .0118) and postoperative hospital stay (14 ± 16 days vs 7 ± 7 days, P < .0001), a significantly higher postoperative complication rate (13.2% vs 3.2%, P = .0061), and a marginally higher incidence of open conversion (12.0% vs 4.8%, P = .0547). Propensity score matching verified the inferior surgical outcomes in cases with tube preservation. CONCLUSIONS These results imply that when LC is performed > 12 days after PTGBD, the surgical outcome may be inferior when the drainage tube is preserved rather than removed before LC.

Abstract
Backgrounds/Aims In moderate and high-surgical risk patients with acute cholecystitis, studies comparing percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) vs. endoscopic transpapillary gallbladder stenting (ETGS) vs. endoscopic ultrasound-guided transmural gallbladder stenting (EUGS) are limited. Thus, the aim of this study was to compare efficacy and recurrence of cholecystitis after PC, ETGS, or EUGS during follow-up. Methods We reviewed 143 moderate and high-surgical risk patients with acute cholecystitis with or without concomitant common bile duct stones who underwent PC, ETGS, or EUGS at our hospital. Technical success rate (TSR), clinical success rate (CSR), and recurrence were compared. Results TSR in PC or EUGS group was higher than that in the ETGS group for those with concomitant common bile duct stones (100% vs. 100% vs. 73.2%; p = 0.07) and for those without concomitant common bile duct stones (100% vs. 100% vs. 77.3%; p < 0.001). CSR in ETGS or EUGS group was higher than that in the PC group for those with concomitant common bile duct stones (96.2% vs. 100% vs. 87.5%; p = 0.41) and for those without concomitant common bile duct stones (94.1% vs. 100% vs. 63.0%; p = 0.006). Using Kaplan–Meier analysis, the overall recurrent risk was the highest in the PC group (p = 0.004). Conclusions In moderate and high-surgical risk patients with acute cholecystitis, EUGS provides significantly higher CSR with comparable TSR to PC. Thus, ETGS should be the first choice in those with concomitant common bile duct stones. Among the three patient groups, those who received PC had the highest rate of recurrence.

Abstract
Vascular disorders of the gallbladder and biliary tree are many and varied. In the acute setting, the clinical presentation of vascular conditions such as hemorrhagic cholecystitis and gangrenous cholecystitis are non-specific and rely on imaging for diagnosis and triaging for emergent surgery. These hemorrhagic and ischemic complications of acute cholecystitis are uncommon but potentially fatal. Hemorrhage into the gallbladder and biliary tree, from other causes, may itself result in acute cholecystitis. Knowledge of vascular anatomy of the gallbladder and biliary tree is essential for surgeons to prevent significant operative bleeding complications, particularly in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The unique venous drainage of the gallbladder and biliary tree, with their connections to the portal venous system, lends itself to less well-recognised vascular phenomena such as gallbladder varices, portal biliopathy, and gallbladder bed perfusion abnormalities.

JOURNAL OF HEPATO-BILIARY-PANCREATIC SCIENCES 2020; 27:977-983. [PMID: 33073532 DOI: 10.1002/jhbp.841] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2020] [Revised: 08/12/2020] [Accepted: 08/31/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE The diagnosis of gallbladder (GB) lesions is occasionally difficult. Recently, superb microvascular imaging (SMI) of ultrasound has been developed as a novel microvascular imaging technique. We evaluated the feasibility of SMI for the diagnosis of GB lesions and compared microvascular imaging between benign and malignant GB lesions. METHODS Twenty patients with GB-protruded lesions or wall thickening who underwent SMI from August 2015 to July 2017 were included in this retrospective study. The measured outcomes were the quality of microvascular imaging when compared between normal SMI (N-SMI) and contrast-enhanced SMI (CE-SMI), and the microvascular findings (vascularity, vascular morphology, presence of branching, and presence of caliber change) when compared between benign and malignant GB lesions. RESULTS The quality of microvascular imaging of CE-SMI was evaluated as better than that of N-SMI, showing a significant difference (P < .001). From the CE-SMI microvascular findings, the evaluation of vascular morphology and the presence of caliber change showed a significant difference between benign and malignant GB lesions (P = .005, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS The evaluation of GB lesions using SMI was feasible with a contrast agent. Vascular morphology and the presence of caliber change may help in the differential diagnosis of GB lesions.
