Surgical Jaundice Supervised by Dr. Jamal Hamdi
Definition Of Jaundice • yellow pigmentation of skin, mucous membrane or sclera • Jaundice clinically detected when serum • bilirubin level ( 2.5 mg/dl) • Normal serum bilirubin • (0.2-1.0 mg/dl ) • caused by an excess of bile • pigments in plasma • It is a symptom not a disease
Bilirubin Metabolism Bilirubin is produced from the breakdown of haemoglobin in the reticuloendothelial system. 95% of the circulating bilirubin is unconjugated and bound to albumin .
Bilirubin Metabolism Hepatic metabolism occurs in 3 phases: - Uptake - Conjugation - excretion RES
Pathophysiology Of Hyperbilirubinemia • Over production by RES • Failure of hepatocellular uptake • Failure of conjugation or excretion • Obstruction of biliary excretion into intestine
Classification Of Jaundice • Prehepatic: • RBC disorders • ( Hereditary spherocytosis , SCA) • Auto-immune ( Mismatched blood transfusion ) • Infective ( Sepsis , Malaria ) • Hepatic : • Congintal ( Gilberts Syndome , Criglar-Najjar Syndrome ) • Acquried ( Viral , Drugs , Alcohol , Wilson’s .. Etc ) Posthepatic (obstructed) surgical
Etiology Of Obstructive Jaundice • Common: • Common bile duct stone. • Cancer head of pancreas
Etiology Of Obstructive Jaundice • Less Common: • Ampullary carcinoma • Pancreatitis. • Mirrizi syndromes. • Sclorosingcholangitis. • Cholangiocarcinoma
Approach To Jaundice Patient History Careful History is of very important value to guide the D\D toward the cause & the type of jaundice ( PreHepatic , Hepatic , PostHepatic )
Approach To Jaundice Patient History Onset Gradual ? cirrhosis pancreatitis cancer Sudden ? CBD stone Hepatitis
Approach To Jaundice Patient History Pattern Progressive? Pancreatic carcinoma Cholangiocarcinoma fluctuating ? CBD stone Ampullary carcinoma Hemolytic episodes
Approach To Jaundice Patient History Pain Painful? CBD stone Pancreatic diseases painless? Malignancy
Approach To Jaundice Patient History • Other symptoms of obstructive jaundice • Pruritis • Fatty dyspepsia • Steatorrhea • Dark urine , pale stool • Bleeding disorder
Approach To Jaundice Patient History • RUQ pain , fever • Symptoms of anemia • Hx of SCD • G6PD deficiency ? Food related ? • Symptoms of malignancy • ( weight loss & anorexia )
Approach To Jaundice Patient History Past Medical • Blood transfusion • Hx of drugs • Past Hx of surgery • Family Hx of jaundice & hemolytic disorders • Alcohol • Occupation & travel Past Surgical Hx Family Hx
Approach To Jaundice Patient • Physical Examination General Appearance Stigmata of Chronic Liver Disease General Examination Cachexia Muscle Wasting Yellow Discoloration Palmarerythema clubbing . flapping tremor. duputrine’s contracture . Spider nevi gynecomastia caput medosa testicular atrophy Jaundice Scratch marks Pallor Vital Signs
Approach To Jaundice Patient • Physical Examination Abdominal Discolration , scars ( collen’s , Grey Tuner ) RUQ pain Murphy sign Palpaple Gallbladder ( Courvoisier’s law ) Abdominal masses ( malignancy ) Hepatomegaly, splenomegaly , ascitis PR : color of stool . Abdominal Examination
Obstructive Jaundice • Invistigation • Laboratory Exam • Imaging • Invasive
Obstructive Jaundice • Invistigation • Laboratory Exam • Blood • LFT: Serum bilirubin (Direct / Indirect) , Albumin , ALT , AST , ALP, LDH , • CBC , Electrolyte , Amylase • Urine • Urine analysis • Stool • The investigations will differentiate hepatocellular and obstructive jaundice • In most of the cases
Obstructive Jaundice • Invistigation • Imaging • Non-invasive • AXR • US • CT • MRI/MRCP • Invasive • ERCP • PTC • Operative cholangiogram • T-tube cholangiogram • Angiogram • Biopsy
Obstructive Jaundice • Invistigation • Imaging • Non-invasive • 1- The presence of gall stones 2- the thickened wall of the gallbladder in acute or chronic inflammation 3- The Diameter of CBD more than 7mm is suggestive of presence of stones • Ultrasounde • Is the most useful initial study for evaluation of intra/extrahepaticbiliary dilatation.
Obstructive Jaundice • Invistigation • Imaging • Ultrasounde • Is the most useful initial study for evaluation of intra/extrahepaticbiliary dilatation.
Obstructive Jaundice • Invistigation • Imaging • Non-invasive • Determine the specific causes and level of obstruction • CT scan can only image calcified stones CT Scan
Obstructive Jaundice • Invistigation • Imaging CT Scan
Obstructive Jaundice • Invistigation • Imaging • Non-invasive • Routine investigation-base-line & may • show specked calcification in the region of • pancreas. X-Ray
Obstructive Jaundice • Invistigation • Imaging • Non-invasive • Magnatic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) • Sensitive noninvasive method of detecting biliary and pancreatic duct stones stricture or dilatations within the biliary system MRCP
Obstructive Jaundice • Invistigation • Imaging • Invasive • Useful for lesion distal to the bifurcation of the hepatic ducts (diagnostic ) • ERCP has a (therapeutic) application because obstruction can potentially be relieved by the removal of stones , sphcterotomy and placement of stent and drains ERCP
Obstructive Jaundice • Invistigation • Imaging ERCP
Obstructive Jaundice • Invistigation • Imaging ERCP
Obstructive Jaundice • Invistigation • Imaging • Invasive • Percutaneoustranshepaticcholangiogram (PTC ) • Useful for lesions proximal to common hepatic duct PTC
Obstructive Jaundice • Treatment According To The Cause
Obstructive Jaundice • Treatment Goal of Treatment • Relief of Obstruction • Prevent Complication • Prevent Recurrence
Obstructive Jaundice • Treatment • Defined as stones in the CBD • intermittent obstruction of CBD • Predisposes to Cholangitis & Acute Pancreatitis • Elevated sr. bilirubin & Alk. Phos. • Evaluation By : U\S , ERCP , CT Jaundice caused by Gallstones
Obstructive Jaundice • Treatment • Evaluation By : ERCP • Primary diagnostic and therapeutic modality • Sphincterotomy and stone extraction • Placement of stent if stone extraction unsuccessful • Mortality rate 1.5% • ERCP Jaundice caused by Gallstones
Obstructive Jaundice • Treatment • Open CBD Exploration • Indications • Presence of multiple stones (more than 5) Stones > 1 cm • Multiple intra hepatic stones • Distal bile duct strictures • Failure of ERCP • Recurrence of CBD stones after sphincterotomy Jaundice caused by Gallstones
Obstructive Jaundice • Treatment • CBD Exploration – Surgical Options • Common bile duct exploration with T-tube decompression • Choledochoduodenostomy • Transduodenalsphincterotomy and sphincterplasty • Roux-en-Y Choledochojejunostomy Jaundice caused by Gallstones
Obstructive Jaundice • Treatment • At the time of diagnosis, 52% of all patients have distant disease • 26% have regional spread. • The relative 1-year survival is only 24% • the overall 5-year survival rate for this disease is less than 5%. Carcinoma Head Of Pancreas
Obstructive Jaundice • Treatment Resectable Non Resectable Carcinoma Head Of Pancreas Surgical treatment Non surgical treatment (metal stents)
Obstructive Jaundice • Treatment • resectability. ? • Resectable, unresectable ? • experience and technical skill of the surgeon And overall health of the patient • Typically, extrapancreatic disease precludes curative resection, and surgical treatment may be palliative at best.
