Abstract
BACKGROUND Dense inflammation obscuring the hepatocystic anatomy can hinder the ability to perform a safe standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy in severe cholecystitis, requiring use of a bailout procedure. We compared clinical outcomes of laparoscopic and open subtotal cholecystectomy against the traditional standard of open total cholecystectomy to identify the optimal bailout strategy for the difficult gallbladder. METHODS A multicenter, multinational retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent bailout procedures for severe cholecystitis. Procedures were compared using one-way analysis of variance/Kruskal-Wallis tests and χ2 tests with multiple pairwise comparisons, maintaining a family-wise error rate at 0.05. Multiple multivariate linear/logistical regression models were created. RESULTS In 11 centers, 727 bailout procedures were conducted: 317 laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomies, 172 open subtotal cholecystectomies, and 238 open cholecystectomies. Baseline characteristics were similar among subgroups. Bile leak was common in laparoscopic and open fenestrating subtotal cholecystectomies, with increased intraoperative drain placements and postoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(P < .05). In contrast, intraoperative bleeding (odds ratio = 3.71 [1.9, 7.22]), surgical site infection (odds ratio = 2.41 [1.09, 5.3]), intensive care unit admission (odds ratio = 2.65 [1.51, 4.63]), and length of stay (Δ = 2 days, P < .001) were higher in open procedures. Reoperation rates were higher for open reconstituting subtotal cholecystectomies (odds ratio = 3.43 [1.03, 11.44]) than other subtypes. The overall rate of bile duct injury was 1.1% and was not statistically different between groups. Laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy had a bile duct injury rate of 0.63%. CONCLUSION Laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy is a feasible surgical bailout procedure in cases of severe cholecystitis where standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy may carry undue risk of bile duct injury. Open cholecystectomy remains a reasonable option.

Scand J Gastroenterol 2024; 59:456-460. [PMID: 38053273 DOI: 10.1080/00365521.2023.2289352] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2023] [Accepted: 11/25/2023] [Indexed: 12/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Calculous gall bladder disease is often handled by laparoscopic cholecystectomy. In cases where a safe dissection of the hepatocystic triangle cannot be carried out, a subtotal cholecystectomy (STC) may be performed. The perioperative management of patients undergoing STC is characterized by limited evidence. This large single-center series explores some of the perioperative aspects and outcomes after STC. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study population includes all patients who underwent STC at Oslo University Hospital (Ullevål and Aker Hospitals) from 01.01.2014 to 30.09.2020. A STC was defined as a cholecystectomy where there was a failure to control the cystic duct during surgery. Study variables included demographic data, comorbidities, previous biliopancreatic disease, indication for surgery, perioperative information, subsequent interventions and outcome data. RESULTS During the study period, 2376 cholecystectomies were performed, and 102 (4.3%) were categorized as STC. Of all patients with STC, 48 (47.1%) had an intra- or postoperative ERCP during the index hospital admission. The indication for ERCP was bile leak in 37 (42.6%) of the cases. The bile leak resolution rate was 60.0 % in intraoperative ERCP vs 95.7% in postoperative ERCP. Among the STC patients, there were no injuries to the central bile ducts. Later, one patient has undergone a remnant cholecystectomy, following fenestrating STC. CONCLUSION STC was a safe bailout strategy for dissection in the hepatocystic triangle in difficult cholecystectomies. Intraoperative ERCP increased procedure time and was associated with a lower rate of leak resolution, as compared to postoperative ERCP.

Surg Endosc 2024; 38:1484-1490. [PMID: 38233627 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-023-10652-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 12/17/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy (LSC) is a recognised alternative to laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) when it is unsafe to achieve the "critical view of safety". Although LSC reduces the risk of bile duct injury, it is associated with increased morbidity, primarily due to bile leak. LSC can be classified as fenestrating (F-LSC) or reconstituting (R-LSC), with the latter being more complex. The objective of this study was to evaluate the two LSC techniques, their complications, and overall outcomes. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of all adult patients who underwent LSC between January 2015 and December 2021 using our electronic database. Data collected included patient demographics, prior acute biliary presentations, operative details/techniques, length of stay (LOS), 30-day complications, 30-day mortality, readmissions, and follow-up investigations/procedures. Descriptive statistics, Chi-squared tests, and relative risk were employed for data analysis. RESULTS In the study period, LSC was performed on 170 patients, showing an increasing trend over time. Most procedures (76%) were performed in the acute setting, and 37.1% of patients had a history of previous acute biliary presentations. Fenestrating LSC was the most performed technique (115 [67.6%] vs. 55 [32.4%]). Complications occurred in 80 (47.1%) patients; 60 patients (35.3%) had a bile leak. 16 patients (9.4%) required reoperation, and readmission was observed in 14 patients (8.2%). F-LSC was associated with more complications [p = 0.03 RR 2.46 (95% CI 1.5-4)], more bile leaks [p < 0.01, RR 2.1 (95% CI 1.2-3.7)], greater need for rescue postoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) [p < 0.01, RR 3.8 (95% CI 1.4-10.2)], and longer LOS (6 vs. 4 days p < 0.01). CONCLUSION Although LSC is seen as a safe alternative to open conversion, our findings demonstrate a high morbidity, including reoperation/reintervention, readmissions, and complications, associated with LSC especially with F-LSC. We suggest that if LSC is performed, the reconstituted technique should be chosen, if feasible.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy (ELC) is the standard treatment for acute cholecystitis (AC). However, predicting the difficulty of this procedure remains challenging. The present study aimed to develop an improved prediction model for surgical difficulty during ELC, surpassing the current Tokyo Guidelines 2018 (TG18) grading system. METHODS We analyzed data from 201 consecutive patients who underwent ELC for AC between 2019 and 2021. Surgical difficulty was defined as the failure to achieve the critical view of safety (non-CVS). We developed a scoring system by conducting multivariate analysis on demographics, symptoms, laboratory data, and radiographic findings. The predictive accuracy of our scoring system was compared to that of the TG18 grading system (Grade I vs. Grade II/III). RESULTS Through multivariate logistic regression analysis, a novel scoring system was formulated. This system incorporated preoperative C-reactive protein (CRP) values (≥5: 1 pt, ≥10: 2 pts, ≥15: 3 pts) and TG18 grading score (duration >72 h: 1 pt, image criteria for Grade II AC: 1 pt). Our model, a cutoff score of ≥3, exhibited a significantly elevated area under the curve (AUC) of 0.721 compared to the TG18 grading system alone (AUC 0.609) (p = 0.001). CONCLUSION Combining preoperative CRP values with TG18 grading criteria can enhance the accuracy of predicting intraoperative difficulty in ELC for AC.

Abstract
Cholecystitis is a common diagnosis which requires management by general surgeons. Morbidity from cholecystitis is often life-threatening, especially in patients with underlying liver cirrhosis or other medical comorbidities. Diagnosis and management of this disease can vary among providers and hospitals. The decision to utilize a radiological or endoscopic temporizing maneuver in severe acute cholecystitis and the timing of later definitive cholecystectomy are relevant points of discussion within general surgery societies. In the last 5 years, the use of intraoperative ductal imaging by conventional vs fluorescence cholangiography had gained significant interest due to the widespread availability of indocyanine green. Finally, the operative strategies and how to manage intra-/postoperative complications are very important to optimizing patient outcomes. In this review paper, we discuss all treatment aspects of cholecystitis and provide updates in its management.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate comparative outcomes of fenestrating and reconstituting subtotal cholecystectomy (STC) in patients with difficult gallbladder. METHODS A systematic search of electronic data sources and bibliographic reference lists were conducted. All comparative studies reporting outcomes of laparoscopic fenestrating and reconstituting STC were included and their risk of bias were assessed using ROBINS-I tool. RESULTS Seven comparative studies were included enrolling 590 patients undergoing laparoscopic STC using either fenestrating (n = 353) or reconstituting (n = 237) approaches. Although fenestrating STC was associated with a significantly higher rate of bile leak (OR: 2.47, p = 0.007) compared to reconstituting STC, both approaches were comparable in terms of resolution of bile leak without (RD: -0.02, p = 0.86) or with (OR: 1.84, p = 0.40) postoperative ERCP. Moreover, there was no significant difference in development of bile duct injury (RD: -0.02, p = 0.16), need for postoperative ERCP (OR: 1.36, p = 0.49), wound infection (RD: 0.03, p = 0.27), re-operation (OR: 0.95, p = 0.95), gallbladder remnant cholecystitis (OR: 0.21, p = 0.09) or need for completion cholecystectomy (RD: 0.01, p = 0.59) between two groups. CONCLUSIONS Fenestrating STC is associated with a higher risk of bile leak than the reconstructing technique. This issue can be mitigated by routine use of drains, delayed drain removal, and in selected cases endoscopic therapy. We encourage the fenestrating approach considering trends in improved short- and long-term outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy (ELC) for acute cholecystitis (AC) poses multiple challenges. The Tokyo Guidelines 2018 (TG18) eliminated the time limit (< 72 h) and expanded the surgical indication to severe AC. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of ELC for AC following the TG18 in a single high-volume center. METHODS From 2019 to 2021, we managed all AC patients with a TG18 flowchart and prospectively enrolled those who underwent ELC within 7 days of symptom onset. The primary outcome was overall morbidity, with a comparison between mild (Grade I) and moderate/severe (Grade II/III) AC. RESULTS During the study period, 201 patients underwent ELC was for Grade I (56.2%), II (40.3%), and III (3.5%) ACs. Mean age was 69 ± 15.2 years and time to surgery from symptom onset was 0 (12.9%), 1-3 (66.7%), and 4-7 days (20.4%). Mean operative time and blood loss were 118.9 ± 42.7 min and 57.8 ± 99.4 mL, respectively. The critical view of safety (CVS) was achieved in 76.1% of patients, and bailout procedures were performed in 21.4%. There were no open conversions or bile duct injuries. Major morbidities (Clavien-Dindo classification ≥ IIIa) were observed in 5.5% of cases and mortality in 0.5%. Comparing Grades II/III to Grade I, operative time was longer (112.3 vs. 127.3 min, p = 0.014), blood loss was higher (40.3 vs. 80.1 mL, p = 0.005), the CVS rate was lower (83.2 vs. 67.0%, p = 0.012), and the major morbidity rate was higher (1.8 vs. 10.2%, p = 0.012). In the subgroup analysis of Grade II/III, there were no significant differences in major morbidities (p = 0.288) between the two groups (0-3 vs. 4-7 days). CONCLUSION ELC for AC following TG18 is feasible with low morbidity rates. However, ELC for Grade II/III ACs remains challenging, and surgeons must carefully assess intraoperative difficulties and surgical risks before proceeding.

Review of the Literature on Partial Resections of the Gallbladder, 1898-2022: The Outline of the Conception of Subtotal Cholecystectomy and a Suggestion to Use the Terms 'Subtotal Open-Tract Cholecystectomy' and 'Subtotal Closed-Tract Cholecystectomy'. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12031230. [PMID: 36769878 PMCID: PMC9917859 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12031230] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2023] [Revised: 01/29/2023] [Accepted: 02/01/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Current descriptions of the history of subtotal cholecystectomy require more details and accuracy. This study presented a narrative review of the articles on partial resections of the gallbladder published between 1898 and 2022. The Scale for the Assessment of Narrative Review Articles items guided the style and content of this paper. The systematic literature search yielded 165 publications. Of them, 27 were published between 1898 and 1984. The evolution of the partial resections of the gallbladder began in the last decade of the 19th century when Kehr and Mayo performed them. The technique of partial resection of the gallbladder leaving the hepatic wall in situ was well known in the 3rd and 4th decades of the 20th century. In 1931, Estes emphasised the term 'partial cholecystectomy'. In 1947, Morse and Barb introduced the term 'subtotal cholecystectomy'. Madding and Farrow popularised it in 1955-1959. Bornman and Terblanche revitalised it in 1985. This term became dominant in 2014. From a subtotal cholecystectomy technical execution perspective, it is either a single-stage (when it includes only the resectional component) or two-stage (when it also entails closure of the remnant of the gallbladder or cystic duct) operation. Recent papers on classifications of partial resections of the gallbladder indicate the extent of gallbladder resection. Subtotal cholecystectomy is an umbrella term for incomplete cholecystectomies. 'Subtotal open-tract cholecystectomy' and 'subtotal closed-tract cholecystectomy' are terms that characterise the type of completion of subtotal cholecystectomy.
