GB & BILIARY TREE Begashaw M (MD)
Gall bladder pear shaped organ of 7.5 – 12.5 cm length & capacity of 50cc Parts-Fundus,Body & Neck cystic duct - joins GB with common hepatic duct to form CBD
Functions - Reservoir for bile - Organ for concentrating the bile - Secretion of the mucus
Cholelithiasis • most common pathology of biliary tree
Classification 1- Cholesterol stone (6%)-usually solitary 2- Mixed stone (90%)-cholesterol is the major component with others like calcium bilirubinate -multiple, faceted & associated with infection 3- Pigment stone: composed of calcium bilirubinate -usually small, multiple & black -associated with hemolytic disease
Risk factors • Age > 40 yrs • Female sex • Obesity • Rapid weight loss • Very low calorie diet • Surgical therapy of morbid obesity • Pregnancy • Fat • Fertile • Flatulent • Female • Fifty
Pathogenesis 1- Metabolic:bileformed is supersaturated or lithogenic 2- Infection: increased mucus plug formation & scarring /nidus 3- Stasis: Progesterone in multiparous women is believed to be contributory
Clinical Presentation • Most-90%Asymptomatic • Hx - RUQ colicky pain - Dyspepsia, fatty food intolerance, flatulence, abnormal postprandial bloating • P/E -RUQ tenderness -Risk factors - identified
Complications • Gall bladder -chronic cholecystitis -acute cholecystitis -gangrene -perforation -empyema -mucocele -carcinoma • Bile duct -obstructive jaundice -cholangitis -acute pancreatitis • Intestine -Gall stone ileus
Diagnostic workup • Ultrasounddetects stone in GB • PAXR Only 10% of stones are radio opaque • Differential diagnosis 1. PUD 2. Hiatal Hernia 3. Carcinoma of stomach 4. Diverticular disease 5. Angina pectoris
Treatment • Surgery: Open or Laparoscopic 1-cholecystectomymain stay of treatment 2-cholecystostomy for bad risk patients with severe infection -Severe Acute cholecystitis -Gall bladder empyema
Acute Cholecystitis is an acute inflammation of gall bladder due to obstruction of neck of gall bladder or cystic duct stone In absence of stone Acalculouscholecystitis
Pathogenesis Direct pressure of calculus ischemia, necrosis, and ulceration with swelling edema & impairment of venous returnFavorsbacterial multiplication End result - Pericholecystic abscess - Fistula formation between gall bladder & bowel - GB empyema/mucocele CommonlyE.coli, Klebsiella, Streptococci, Enterobacter & Clostridial
Clinical features Hx - chronic cholecystitis/Cholelithiasis - RUQ/epigastricpain radiate to back - Fever/vomiting P/E - RUQ tenderness with rebound tenderness - GB may be palpable - Murphy’s Sign +ve : sudden arrest of inspiration due to tenderness of inflamed gall bladder which is palpated during deep inspiration
DDX - Perforated PUD - Biliarycolic - Pneumonia -Pancreatitis - Hepatitis
IXns • WBC: Leucocytosis • CXR or PAXR: pneumonia/radio opaque stone • Ultrasound: detects calculi, gall bladder wall thickening & pericholecysticfluid
Treatment 1- conservative - Admit - keep NPO - Start on IV fluid - Insert NGT - Analgesics • Antibiotics - ampicillin & gentamycin • Follow -fever, abd findings/WBC count reduction - cholecystectomyafter 6 weeks 2. Surgical treatment: Cholecystectomy
OBSTRUCTIVE JAUNDICE • Jaundice is a yellowish discoloration of the sclera, mucous membrane & skin • becomes clinically evident when the level of serum billirubin reaches 2.0 to 3.0 mg/dl
Classification I Medical: Pre hepatichemolytic Hepaticliver problems II Surgical: obstruction of biliarytreeobstructive jaundice
Extra hepatic biliary obstruction • Lumen -Gall stone -ParasiticAscaris • Wall -Atresia -Stricture -Tumor • Extrinsic -pancreatic head ca -ampullary ca -Pancreatitis -Choledochalcyst
Clinical manifestation • Hx - Intermittent jaundicestone - Progressive jaundice • +/- Pruritis - Urine/stoolclay color - RUQ pain - Loss of appetite/weight loss - History trauma/surgery
P/E - G/Aobesity/emaciation - Depth of jaundice/pallor - Hepatomegaly, splenomegaly - Ascites - Palpable GB - Liver mass - Skin scratch marks
Courvoisier’s Law • If in presence of jaundice, the gall bladder is palpable, then the jaundice is unlikely to be due to stone True in 60%of cases
Investigations - Hemoglobin-AnemiaMalignancy - U/Abillirubin/urobilinogen - Serum billirubintotal & direct - Serum alkpase - Ultrasoundgallstone, choledochal cyst, dilated bile duct, Neoplasm - LFT - PT
Treatment • Surgery • Perioperative -Antibiotic prophylaxis -ParenteralvitK +/- FFP -Fluid resuscitation -careful post operative fluid balance
