Slide 2-

SURGICAL ANATOMY The gall bladder lies on the underside of the liver in the main liver scissura at the junction of the right and left lobes of the liver. The relationship of the gall bladder to the liver varies between being embedded within the liver substance to being suspended by a mesentry
Slide 3-

It is a pear-shaped structure,7.5–12 cm long, with a normal capacity of about 25–30 mL. The anatomical divisions are a fundus, a body and a neck that terminates in a narrow infundibulum. The muscle fibres in the wall of the gall bladder are arranged in a criss-cross manner, being particularly well developed in its neck. The mucous membrane contains indentations of the mucosa that sink into the muscle coat; these are the crypts of Luschka.
Slide 4-

The cystic duct is about 3 cm in length, but the length is variable. The lumen is usually 1–3 mm in diameter. The mucosa of the cystic duct is arranged in spiral folds known as the ‘valves of Heister’ and the wall is surrounded by a sphincteric structure called the ‘sphincter of Lütkens’. The cystic duct joins the supraduodenal segment of the common hepatic duct in 80 per cent of cases; however, the anatomy may vary and the junction may be much lower in the retroduodenal or even retropancreatic part of the bile duct.
Slide 5-

The common hepatic duct is usually less than 2.5 cm long and is formed by the union of the right and left hepatic ducts. The common bile duct is about 7.5 cm long and formed by the junction of the cystic and common hepatic ducts. It is divided into four parts:
Slide 6-

Supraduodenal portion. About 2.5 cm long, running in the free edge of the lesser omentum. Retroduodenal portion. Infraduodenal portion lies in a groove, but at times in a tunnel, on the posterior surface of the pancreas. Intraduodenal portion passes obliquely through the wall of the second part of the duodenum, where it is surrounded by the sphincter of Oddi, and terminates by opening on the summit of the ampulla of Vater.

The cystic artery, a branch of the right hepatic artery, usually arises behind the common hepatic duct. The most dangerous anomalies are where the hepatic artery takes a tortuous course on the front of the origin of the cystic duct , or the right hepatic artery is tortuous and the cystic artery short . The tortuosity is known as the ‘caterpillar turn’ or ‘Moynihan’s hump’. This variation is the cause of many problems during a difficult cholecystectomy with inflammation in the region of the cystic duct.
Slide 10-

Lymphatics The lymphatic vessels of the gall bladder (subserosal and submucosal) drain into the cystic lymph node of Lund (the sentinel lymph node), which lies in the fork created by the junction of the cystic and common hepatic ducts. Efferent vessels from this lymph node go to the hilum of the liver, and to the coeliac lymph nodes. The subserosal lymphatic vessels of the gall bladder also connect with the subcapsular lymph channels of the liver, and this accounts for the frequent spread of carcinoma of the gall bladder to the liver.
Slide 11-

Surgical physiology Bile is produced by the liver and stored in the gall bladder from which it is released into the duodenum. As it leaves the liver, it is composed of 97 per cent water, bile salts (cholic and cheno-deoxycholic acids, deoxycholic and lithocholic acids), phospholipids, cholesterol and bilirubin. The liver excretes bile at a rate estimated to be approximately 40 mL/hour. About 95 per cent of bile salts are reabsorbed in the terminal ileum (enterohepatic circulation).
Slide 12-

FUNCTIONS OF THE GALL BLADDER The gall bladder is a reservoir for bile. During fasting, resistance to flow through the sphincter of Oddi is high, and bile excreted by the liver is diverted to the gall bladder. After feeding, the resistance to flow through the sphincter is reduced, the gall bladder contracts and the bile enters the duodenum. These motor responses of the biliary tract are in part effected by the hormone cholecystokinin.
Slide 13-

The second function of the gall bladder is concentration of bile by active absorption of water, sodium chloride and bicarbonate by the mucous membrane of the gall bladder. The hepatic bile which enters the gall bladder becomes concentrated 5–10 times, with a corresponding increase in the proportion of bile salts, bile pigments, cholesterol and calcium
Slide 14-

The third function of the gall bladder is the secretion of mucus – approximately 20 mL is produced per day. With complete obstruction of the cystic duct in an otherwise healthy gall bladder, a mucocoele may develop as a result of ongoing mucus secretion by the gall bladder mucosa.
Slide 15-

GALLSTONES (CHOLELITHIASIS) Gallstones are the most common biliary pathology. They are asymptomatic in the majority of cases. Gallstones can be divided into three main types: cholesterol, pigment (brown/black) or mixed stones.
Slide 16-

Cholesterol or mixed stones contain 51–99 per cent pure cholesterol plus an admixture of calcium salts, bile acids, bile pigments and phospholipids. The process of gallstone formation is complex and many areas remain unclear. Common in “Fat, Fertile, Forty, Flatulent, Female”. Common in western countries and in north India.
Slide 17-

Obesity, high-caloric diets and certain medications (e.g. oral contraceptives) can increase secretion of cholesterol and supersaturate the bile increasing the lithogenicity of bile. Resection of the terminal ileum, which diminishes the enterohepatic circulation, will deplete the bile acid pool and result in cholesterol supersaturation.
Slide 18-

Nucleation of cholesterol monohydrate crystals from multilamellar vesicles is a crucial step in gallstone formation. Abnormal emptying of the gall bladder function may aid the aggregation of nucleated cholesterol crystals; hence, removing gallstones without removing the gall bladder inevitability leads to gallstone recurrence.
Slide 19-

Clinical presentation Gallstones may remain asymptomatic, being detected incidentally as imaging is performed for other symptoms. If symptoms occur, patients typically complain of right upper quadrant or epigastric pain, which may radiate to the back. This may be described as colicky, but more often is dull and constant.
Slide 20-

Other symptoms include dyspepsia, flatulence, food intolerance, particularly to fats, and some alteration in bowel frequency. Biliary colic is typically present in 10–25 per cent of patients. This is described as a severe right upper quadrant pain which ebbs and flows associated with nausea and vomiting.
Slide 21-

Pain may radiate to the chest. The pain is usually severe and may last for minutes or even several hours. Frequently, the pain starts during the night and wakes the patient. Minor episodes of the same discomfort may occur intermittently during the day. Dyspeptic symptoms may coexist and be worse after such an attack. As the pain resolves, the patient improves and is able to eat and drink again, often only to suffer further episodes.
Slide 22-

It is of interest that a patient may have several episodes of this nature over a period of a few weeks and then no more trouble for some months. Jaundice may result if the stone migrates from the gall bladder and obstructs the common bile duct. Rarely, a gallstone can lead to bowel obstruction (gallstone ileus)
Slide 23-

Effects and complications of gallstones Biliary colic Acute cholecystitis Chronic cholecystitis Empyema of the gall bladder Mucocoele Perforation Biliary obstruction Acute cholangitis Acute pancreatitis Intestinal obstruction (gallstone ileus)
Slide 24-

When the symptoms do not resolve, but progress to continued pain with fever and leukocytosis, the diagnosis of acute cholecystitis should be considered.
Slide 25-

Diagnosis A diagnosis of gallstone disease is based on the history and physical examination with confirmatory radiological studies, such as transabdominal ultrasonography. In the acute phase, the patient may have right upper quadrant tenderness that is exacerbated during inspiration by the examiner’s right subcostal palpation (Murphy’s sign). A positive Murphy’s sign suggests acute inflammation and may be associated with leukocytosis and moderately elevated liver function tests.
Slide 26-

A mass may be palpable as the omentum walls off an inflamed gall bladder. Fortunately in the majority of cases, the process is limited by the stone slipping back into the body of the gall bladder and the contents of the gall bladder escaping by way of the cystic duct. This achieves adequate drainage of the gall bladder and enables the inflammation to resolve.
Slide 27-

If resolution does not occur, an empyema of the gall bladder may result. The wall may become necrotic and perforate, with development of localised peritonitis. The abscess may then perforate into the peritoneal cavity with a septic peritonitis however, this is uncommon, because the inflamed gall bladder is usually localised by omentum which contains the perforation
Slide 28-

A palpable, non-tender gall bladder (Courvoisier’s sign) portends a more sinister diagnosis. This usually results from a distal common duct obstruction secondary to a peripancreatic malignancy. Rarely, a non-tender, palpable gall bladder results from complete obstruction of the cystic duct with reabsorption of the intraluminal bile salts and secretion of uninfected mucus secreted by the gall bladder epithelium leading to a mucocoele of the gall bladder.
Slide 29-

Treatment Most consider that it is safe to observe patients with asymptomatic gallstones, with cholecystectomy reserved for patients who develop symptoms or complications. However, prophylactic cholecystectomy may be considered for diabetic patients, those with congenital haemolytic anaemia and those patients who are undergoing bariatric surgery for morbid obesity as it has been found in these groups that the risk of developing symptoms s increased.
Slide 30-

For patients with biliary colic or cholecystitis, cholecystectomy is the treatment of choice if there are no medical contraindications.
Slide 31-

Experience shows that in more than 90 per cent of cases, the symptoms of acute cholecystitis subside with conservative measures. Non-operative treatment is based on four principles Nil per mouth (NPO) and intravenous fluid administration until the pain resolves. Administration of analgesics.
Slide 32-

Administration of antibiotics. As the cystic duct is blocked in most instances, the concentration of antibiotic in the serum is more important than its concentration in bile. A broad-spectrum antibiotic effective against Gram-negative aerobes is most appropriate (e.g. cefazolin, cefuroxime or gentamicin) Subsequent management. When the temperature, pulse and other physical signs show that the inflammation is subsiding, oral fluids are reinstated followed by regular diet
Slide 33-

Ultrasonography is performed to confirm the diagnosis. If jaundice is present, an MRCP is performed to exclude choledocholithiasis. If there is any concern regarding the diagnosis or presence of complications, such as perforation, a CT should be performed. Cholecystectomy may be performed on the next available list, or the patient may be allowed home to return later when the inflammation has completely resolved.
Slide 34-

Conservative treatment must be abandoned if the pain and tenderness increase; depending on the status of the patient, either operative intervention and cholecystectomy should be performed or if the patient has comorbid conditions, a percutaneous cholecystostomy can be performed by a radiologist under ultrasound control. This will usually rapidly relieve symptoms, however an interval cholecystectomy will be required once the patient’s condition has stabilised.
Slide 35-

Provided that the operation is undertaken within 5–7 days of the onset of the attack, the surgeon is experienced and excellent operating facilities are available, good results are achieved. If an early operation is not indicated, one should wait approximately 6 weeks for the inflammation to subside before operating.
Slide 36-

Multiple gallstones collected during cholecystectomy
Slide 37-

Gallbladder with stone removed from Hartmann’s pouch
Slide 38-

ACUTE CHOLECYSTITIS Commonly it occurs in a patient with pre-existing chronic cholecystitis but often also can occur as a first presentation. Usual cause is impacted gallstone in the Hartmann’s pouch, obstructing cystic duct
Slide 39-

Causative bacteria are— E. coli - commonest Klebsiella, pseudomonas, proteus Strep. faecalis Salmonella Clostridium welchii
Slide 40-

Classification 1. Acute calculous cholecystitis. 2. Acute acalculous cholecystitis
Slide 41-

Mode of Infection • Haematogenous through hepatic artery – cystic artery. • Portal vein. • Through bile after filtering in the liver via portal circulation.
Slide 42-

Pathogenesis of Acute Cholecystitis Stone causes obstruction at Hartmann’s pouch or in cystic duct. Obstruction causes stasis, oedema of the wall, bacterial infection, acute cholecystitis and its effects. Impacted stone also causes mucosal erosion allowing bile salts to act over the submucosal tissues as bile is toxic to these tissues. It leads into necrosis, further infection and often perforation of the gallbladder usually at Hartmann’s pouch
Slide 43-

Pathology of Acute Cholecystitis Gallbladder will be distended with oedematous friable wall. Wall contains dilated vessels. Areas of necrosis and patchy gangrene may occur in severe cases. Mucosa shows ulceration and necrosis. Lumen contains infected fluid/infected bile or frank pus. Histology shows features of acute inflammation with neutrophils, oedema, and areas of necrosis and cell death.
Slide 44-

Complications of Acute Cholecystitis Acute cholecystitis can lead to 1. Perforation, which usually occurs in the fundus or in the neck (Hartmann’s). It can cause cholecysto duodenal, cholecysto-intestinal cholecysto-biliary fistula. 2. Peritonitis
Slide 45-

Pericholecystitic abscess, empyema GB. Cholangitis and septicaemia. Empyema gallbladder, gangrenous gall bladder
Slide 46-

Clinical Features Sudden onset of pain in the right hypochondrium, with tenderness, guarding, and rigidity. Palpable, tender, smooth, soft gallbladder. Area of hyperaesthesia between 9th and 11th ribs posteriorly on the right side (Boas’s sign). Jaundice may be present. Fever, nausea, palpable tender mass in GB region (25%). Tachycardia and toxic features.
Slide 47-

Investigations Ultrasound abdomen—very useful, reveals presence or absence of gallstones; and thickening of gallbladder wall. Plain X-ray abdomen—10% of gallstones are radioopaque; also rules out other causes of acute pain abdomen. Gas is seen in emphysematous GB. Total count shows neutrophilia. HIDA/PIPIDA radioisotope study—very useful. Nonvisualisation of gallbladder is diagnostic
Slide 48-

LFT is important. Increased serum bilirubin often signifies cholangitis or stone in the CBD. Plain X-ray abdomen is not very relevant but is often important to rule out duodenal ulcer perforation, peritonitis. Only 10% of gallstones are radio-opaque. In emphysematous cholecystitis gas shadow may be seen in the region of gallbladder. Porcelain gallbladder may be seen as opacified area in gallbladder region.
Slide 49-

Treatment Advised hospitalisation. Initially (non-operative) conservative treatment (95%): – Nasogastric aspiration. – IV fluids. – Analgesics and antispasmodics. – Broad spectrum antibiotics (cefoperazone, ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, cefotaxime + amikacin, tobramycin,+ metronidazole {antimicrobial}). – Observation. – Follow-up U/S scan.
Slide 50-

Later after 3-6 weeks, elective cholecystectomy, either by open method through right subcostal (Kocher’s) incision or through laparoscopy is done. Cholecystostomy is done immediately if patient is having: 1. Empyema gallbladder 2. Persisting symptoms 3. Progressing symptoms
Slide 51-

Here the gallbladder is opened and all stones and pus are removed. Either a Foley’s or Malecot’s catheter is placed in the gallbladder and is exteriorised. After 3 weeks, elective cholecystectomy is done
Slide 52-

ACUTE ACALCULOUS CHOLECYSTITIS It is not an uncommon entity, but can be commonly missed. It is common in patients who have undergone major surgeries, trauma, burns, or any other stress or in cases of cholecystoses. Common in ICU patients. Exact cause is not known. Gall bladder distension, release of activation factor VII may be the causes. Pathology is oedema and necrosis of the gall bladder wall with features of acute inflammation. Presentation is usually acute
Slide 53-

Investigations: Isotope study (HIDA), U/S abdomen. Treatment: Cholecystectomy
Slide 54-

EMPYEMA GALLBLADDER It is a type of acute cholecystitis wherein the gallbladder is filled with pus. In 30% cases pus may be sterile. It also can occur in a pre-existing mucocele of the gallbladder where it gets infected. It is commonly observed in impacted stone, diabetic individual, immunosuppressed people like HIV, long time steroid therapy. It can perforate; can form abscess or can cause peritonitis – biliary and bacterial. Condition has got high mortality
Slide 55-

Clinical Features Fever, toxicity. Pain and tenderness in right hypochondrium. Tender, smooth, globular, gallbladder is palpable in right hypochondrium to the right of the right rectus muscle
Slide 56-

Complications Septicaemia. Rupture and peritonitis. Investigations U/S abdomen. Total count is raised. Radio isotope scan. Treatment Antibiotics: Cefotaxime, quinolones, ceftriaxone. Cholecystectomy - an emergency procedure. Often initially cholecystostomy is done, with either Foley’s or Malecot’s catheter kept in situ. Later after 3-6 weeks, cholecystectomy is done
Slide 57-

MUCOCELE OF THE GALLBLADDER It is due to obstruction of the cystic duct by a stone in the neck (Hartmann’s pouch) of the gallbladder, without any infection or inflammation in the gallbladder. This causes absorption of all bile and secretion of mucus into the gallbladder allowing gallbladder to distend causing mucocele of the gallbladder. Rarely cholangiocarcinoma occluding cystic duct may cause mucocele of gallbladder. Content is usually sterile.
Slide 58-

Clinical Features Painless swelling in the right hypochondrium. Nontender, smooth, soft, globular, palpable gallbladder (content is sterile). Features of dyspepsia
Slide 59-

Complications If infected, can cause empyema gallbladder. Rupture can cause pseudomyxoma peritonei (but rare). Investigations • U/S abdomen. • Liver function tests. Treatment Cholecystectomy
Slide 60-

CHRONIC CHOLECYSTITIS It is chronically inflamed, thickened gallbladder, which is nonfunctioning and nondistending. Causes Gallstones. Cholecystoses. Chronic acalculous cholecystitis. Organisms Klebsiella. Streptococci. Salmonella.
Slide 61-

Pathology Gallbladder is shrunken, contracted, small, nonfunctioning and fibrotic with thickened gall bladder wall. Mucosa proliferates into the lumen creating deep clefts in the wall projecting into the muscular wall of the gall bladder being lined by epithelium. It is called as Rokitansky – Ashchoff’s sinuses. Muscular wall is atrophied and is often replaced by fibrous tissue. Histologically it shows dense chronic inflammation with fibrous tissue.
Slide 62-

Clinical Features Pain in right hypochondrium, may be colicky, or persistent. Positive Murphy’s sign, where in sitting position during deep inspiration, while palpating in right hypochondrium, patient winces with pain at the summit of the inspiration. Same sign elicited in lying down position is called as Moynihan’s sign. Flatulent dyspepsia. Intolerance to fatty meals. Biliary dyspepsia.
Slide 63-

Complications CBD stone. Cholangitis. Pancreatitis. Mirizzi’s syndrome
Slide 64-

Investigations U/S abdomen may show stone with posterior acoustic shadowing. Gallbladder wall will be thickened. Isotope study may help to confirm the infection. LFT. Total count may be raised if there is an acute recurrent Infection. Treatment Cholecystectomy (Laparoscopic or open method).
