Identification and management of subvesical bile duct leakage after laparoscopic cholecystectomy: A systematic review. Asian J Surg 2023; 46:4161-4168. [PMID: 37127504 DOI: 10.1016/j.asjsur.2023.04.031] [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: 09/28/2022] [Revised: 12/10/2022] [Accepted: 04/12/2023] [Indexed: 05/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Bile leak is a rare complication after Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. Subvesical bile duct (SVBD) injury is the second cause of minor bile leak, following the unsuccessful clipping of the cystic duct stump. The aim of this study is to pool available data on this type of biliary tree anatomical variation to summarize incidence of injury, methods used to diagnose and treat SVBD leaks after LC. Articles published between 1985 and 2021 describing SVBD evidence in patients operated on LC for gallstone disease, were included. Data were divided into two groups based on the intra or post-operative evidence of bile leak from SVBD after surgery. This systematic report includes 68 articles for a total of 231 patients. A total of 195 patients with symptomatic postoperative bile leak are included in Group 1, while Group 2 includes 36 patients describing SVBD visualized and managed during LC. Outcomes of interest were diagnosis, clinical presentation, treatment, and outcomes. The management of minor bile leak is controversial. In most of cases diagnosed postoperatevely, Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography (ERCP) is the best way to treat this complication. Surgery should be considered when endoscopic or radiological approaches are not resolutive.

Clinical value of fluorescent cholangiography for the infraportal type of right posterior bile duct. MINIM INVASIV THER 2023; 32:256-263. [PMID: 37288773 DOI: 10.1080/13645706.2023.2217915] [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: 11/21/2022] [Accepted: 05/18/2023] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The infraportal type of the right posterior bile duct (infraportal RPBD) is a well-known anatomical variation that increases the potential risk of intraoperative biliary injury. The aim of this study is to clarify the clinical value of fluorescent cholangiography during single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) for patients with infraportal RPBD. MATERIAL AND METHODS Our procedure for SILC utilized the SILS-Port, and another 5-mm forceps was inserted via an umbilical incision. A laparoscopic fluorescence imaging system developed by Karl Storz Endoskope was utilized for fluorescent cholangiography. Between July 2010 and March 2022, 41 patients with infraportal RPBD underwent SILC. We conducted retrospective reviews of patient data, focusing on the clinical value of fluorescent cholangiography. RESULTS Thirty-one patients underwent fluorescent cholangiography during SILC, but the remaining ten did not. Only one patient who did not undergo fluorescent cholangiography developed an intraoperative biliary injury. The detectability of infraportal RPBD before and during the dissection of Calot's triangle was 16.1% and 45.2%, respectively. These visible infraportal RPBDs were characterized as connections to the common bile duct. The confluence pattern of infraportal RPBD significantly influenced its detectability during the dissection of Calot's triangle (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The application of fluorescent cholangiography can lead to safe SILC, even for patients with infraportal RPBD. Its benefit is emphasized when infraportal RPBD is connected to the common bile duct.

Abstract
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is one of the most frequently performed gastrointestinal surgeries worldwide. Bile duct injury (BDI) represents the most serious complication of LC, with an incidence of 0.3%-0.7%, resulting in significant perioperative morbidity and mortality, impaired quality of life, and high rates of subsequent medico-legal litigation. In most cases, the primary cause of BDI is the misinterpretation of biliary anatomy, leading to unexpected biliary lesions. Near-infrared fluorescent cholangiography is widely spreading in clinical practice to delineate biliary anatomy during LC in elective and emergency settings. The primary aim of this article was to perform an up-to-date overview of the evolution of this method 12 years after the first clinical application in 2009 and to highlight all advantages and current limitations according to the available scientific evidence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Achieving critical view of safety (CVS) is vital during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). There is no known study determining use of indocyanine green fluorescence cholangiography (ICGFC) in early identification of CVS during LC. This study aims to compare use of ICGFC in LC against conventional LC in early identification of CVS. METHODOLOGY Patients undergoing LC in a single centre were randomized into ICGFC-LC and conventional LC. Surgery was performed by a single surgeon and the time taken to achieve CVS from the time of gallbladder fundus retraction was measured. Difficulty level for each surgery was rated and analysed using a modified scoring system (Level 1- Easy to Level 4-Very difficult). RESULTS 63 patients were recruited where mean time (min) to achieve CVS was 22.3 ± 12.9 in ICGFC-LC (n = 30) and 22.8 ± 14.3 in conventional LC (p = 0.867). The time taken to achieve CVS was shorter in ICGFC-LC group across all difficulty levels, although not significant (p > 0.05). No major complication was observed in the study. CONCLUSIONS This study had shown ICGFC-LC reduces time to CVS across all difficulty levels but not statistically significant. ICGFC-LC maybe useful in difficult LC and in surgical training.

Abstract
Aberrant subvesical bile duct poses risk of bile duct injury during cholecystectomy. Intraoperative fluorescent cholangiography (IFC) could allow us to identify a fine minute bile duct. IFC is one of a promising technique to improve the safety of cholecystectomy further.
Introduction Aberrant subvesical bile ducts are rare structural anomaly located in the peri-hepatic gallbladder fossa. This duct poses the risk for intraoperative bile duct injury resulting in clinically relevant bile leakage. Presentation of case Aberrant subvesical bile duct was detected by preoperative magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography in a 52-year old woman with gallbladder polypoid tumor harboring the risk to be gallbladder cancer. During open cholecystectomy with full thickness dissection, the aberrant duct was identified by intraoperative fluorescent cholangiography (IFC), and dissected safely. Discussion Aberrant subvesical bile ducts are mostly found unexpectedly as intra and/or postoperative bile leakage, and remain an important cause of bile duct injuries after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. IFC, which offers real-time imaging of biliary anatomy, has a potential to overcome these problems. Conclusion We performed cholecystectomy by using IFC to identify the aberrant subvesical bile duct. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report showing the fluorescence image of an aberrant subvesical bile duct in a state of nature.

Abstract
For left-sided gallbladder, no change of port setting is needed using the robot. ICG helps to recognize associated vascular and biliary anomalies. Anatomical variations assessment is crucial to avoid biliary or vascular injuries.
Introduction True left-sided gallbladder (T-LSG) occur when the gallbladder is positioned to the left of the ligamentum teres and falciform ligament and under the surface of the left liver lobe. Presentation of case Patient is 29-year-old caucasian male, presenting with 9-month history of epigastric right upper quadrant (RUQ) colic pain. RUQ Ultrasound reported cholelithiasis, gallbladder wall thickening, and no intrahepatic biliary dilation. Discussion Robotic cholecystectomy was the chosen approach. When visceral surface of the liver was exposed, anomalous location of the gallbladder was noted, left to the round ligament. A cystic duct with a “hairpin” configuration and a very cephalad cystic artery were identified. Cholecystectomy was performed safely and uneventfully. Conclusion No change of port setting was required with the robotic approach. The ICG-aided cholangiography improved surgeon’s ability to recognize the concomitant vascular and biliary anomalies. However, no definitive conclusion can be drown until further experience and volume are achieved.

Abstract
Introduction Subvesical bile duct (SVBD) injury is a secondary major cause of minor bile duct injury after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). However, this injury is usually not recognized intraoperatively, but postoperatively. Case Report Case 1: the patient was an 84-year-old female, preoperatively diagnosed with acute cholecystitis. During LC, a tiny hole in the gallbladder fossa from which bile juice oozing was confirmed. Suturing was performed laparoscopically. Case 2: the patient was an 81-year-old male, preoperatively diagnosed with cholelithiasis. Because of a previous history of gastrectomy, laparoscopic adhesiolysis around the gallbladder was performed. During dissection, a small amount of bile was oozing from the surface of the liver adjacent to the gallbladder fossa. Suturing was performed laparoscopically. Conclusion If a small amount of bile juice was detected, meticulous observation not only around the cystic duct stump but also the gallbladder fossa should be performed. Simultaneous laparoscopic suturing was feasible, and an ideal procedure against SVBD injury developed during LC.
