چکیده

BACKGROUND Single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) is emerging as a potentially less invasive alternative to standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy and natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery cholecystectomy. As this technique is more widely used, it is important to maintain well-established practices of the critical view of safety (CVS) dissection and intraoperative cholangiography (IOC). We present our initial experience with SILC using CVS dissection and routine IOC. STUDY DESIGN Fifty-four patients with biliary colic were offered SILC, which was performed through the umbilicus. CVS with photo documentation was attained before clipping and transecting the cystic structures. IOC was done using various needle puncture techniques. Assessment of CVS was carried out by independent surgeon review of operative still photos or videos using a 3-point grading scale: visualization of only 2 ductal structures entering the gallbladder; a clear triangle of Calot; and separation of the base of the gallbladder from the cystic plate. RESULTS SILC was performed in 54 patients (15 male and 39 female). Six patients required 1 supplementary 3- or 5-mm port. Complete IOC was successful in 50 of 54 patients (92.6%). CVS was achieved at the time of operation in all 54 patients. Photo documentation review confirmed 3 of 3 CVS criteria in 32 (64%) patients, 2 of 3 in 12 patients (24%), 1 of 3 in 3 patients (6%), and 0 in 3 patients (6%). CONCLUSIONS As laparoscopic cholecystectomy becomes less invasive, proven safe dissection techniques should be maintained. Dissection to obtain the CVS should be the goal of every patient and IOC can be accomplished in a high percentage of patients. This approach places patient safety considerations foremost in the evolution of minimally invasive cholecystectomy.

Intraoperative cholangiography in laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a review of 734 consecutive cases.

Intraoperative cholangiography was first introduced by Mirizzi in 1931. He recommended its routine use. The debate over the appropriate role of intraoperative cholangiography was renewed by the widespread acceptance of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in 1988. We reviewed our experience to determine the most appropriate use of intraoperative cholangiography. Seven hundred thirty-four consecutive ca...

The Advantages of Preview Cholangiography During Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Despite the numerous and often cited benefits of routine cholangiography during laparoscopic cholecystectomy, universal application of this technique has not been realized. Surgeons who advocate selective cholangiography cite the extra cost, the low yield of unanticipated findings, and the marked increase in the duration of the operation when cholangiography is added to...

Aberrant Presentation of the Gallbladder During Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

BACKGROUND Aberrant gallbladder transposed to the left side is a rare congenital anomaly that has been seen in as many as 0.7% of the population. These gallbladders are situated under the left lobe of the liver between Segment III and IV and to the left of the falciform ligament. Many preoperative studies fail to identify the anomaly, causing confusion to the surgeon during laparoscopic resecti...

Near-infrared fluorescence cholangiography assisted laparoscopic cholecystectomy versus conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (FALCON trial): study protocol for a multicentre randomised controlled trial

INTRODUCTION Misidentification of the extrahepatic bile duct anatomy during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the main cause of bile duct injury. Easier intraoperative recognition of the biliary anatomy may be accomplished by using near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging after an intravenous injection of indocyanine green (ICG). Promising results were reported for successful intraoperative...

Is laparoscopic intraoperative cholangiogram a matter of routine?

BACKGROUND Intraoperative cholangiography during laparoscopic cholecystectomy reveals the anatomy of the biliary tree and any stones contained within it. The use of intraoperative cholangiography may be routine for all laparoscopic cholecystectomy. An alternative approach is a selective policy, performing intraoperative cholangiography only for those cases in which choledocholithiasis is suspec...
