CALL FOR ABSTRACT 12THGHUCG TRACK 17: GALLBLADDER & BILIARY DISEASE

The gallbladder illnesses that are taken into consideration here are acute acalculous cholecystitis, tumours, and gallstones.

Definition and Causes of Gallstones and Cholecystitis

Gallbladder stones are a condition that affects a lot of people and typically has no symptoms. Due to a brief occlusion of the cystic duct by a gallstone, some patients develop biliary colic, an intermittent and frequently intense pain in the epigastrium or right upper quadrant, and occasionally between the scapula. The patient would experience cholecystitis, an acute inflammation and infection of the gallbladder, if the cystic duct obstruction continues.

Symptoms and Signs

The great majority of gallstone sufferers have no symptoms. Gallstones that are symptomatic usually cause right upper quadrant abdominal pain that is frequently accompanied by nausea and vomiting. The pain is frequently excruciating, may subside over a period of time (biliary colic), or may worsen into cholecystitis, which is marked by fever and persistent pain. Right upper quadrant pain is palpable during examination (Murphy’s sign).

Diagnosis

A right upper quadrant ultrasound is the preferred imaging technique because it can detect gallstones, a thicker gallbladder wall, and pericholecystic fluid when cholecystitis is present. Endoscopic ultrasonography may be beneficial for people who have symptomatic gallstones and a negative ultrasound test. The results of a hydroxy iminodiacetic acid (HIDA) scan can be helpful in confirming the diagnosis of cholecystitis. The radioactive material is concentrated in the liver and discharged into the bile, but the cystic duct obstruction prevents the radionuclide material from filling the gallbladder.

Treatment

Cholecystectomy is the main treatment for gallstone disease with symptoms. Silent gallstones do not require a preventative cholecystectomy. The majority of cholecystectomies performed in the US are laparoscopic. Within a few weeks, a patient with an acute episode that clears up should see a surgeon and be given the option of having an elective cholecystectomy. Patients who experience fever or an increased white blood cell count as well as prolonged right upper quadrant pain should be evaluated more quickly.
