Q

אינדיקציה לניתוח

Chronic calculous cholecystitis

A
  • התקפים חוזרים של קוליק + 2 בדיקות שמדגימות סלאדג׳
  • בד״כ לא רואים אבני מרה
  • נשים בהיריון - אפשר לנתח מהטרימסטר השני
  • סכרתיים - ניתוח בהקדם בגלל שיש סיכון מוגבר לנמק
  • ההעדפה היא ל laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Q

Acute calculous cholecystitis

טיפול

A
  • טיפול ראשוני באנטיביוטיקה, נוזלים ומשככי כאבים
  • טיפול דפיניטיבי ע״י הסרה בלאפרוסקופיה תוך 7 ימים
  • אמפיאמה/פרפורציה יש לעשות הסרה דחופה
  • Inflammatory process in triangle of Calot –> partial cholecystectomy
  • אם יש סיכוי ניתוחי גבוהה, יש לעשות precutaneous transhepatic cholecystectomy ולאחר שלושה עד ארבעה ימים לעשות הסרה
  • אם מטופל מגיע לאחר הטיימיג שהוגדר כ72 שעות, צריך להכניס נקז

Q

Choledocholithiasis

טיפול

A
  • ERCP - in patients with gallstones, there is high risk for recurrence.
    • Recommended cholecystectomy within the same admission
    • Unless the patient is older then 70
  • Laparoscopic CBD exploration: intraopertaive cholangiogram is done
    • If cannot be done within surgery, place a tube within the cystic duct and do endoscopic cholangiogram one day later

Q

Contraindications to LAP cholecystectomy

A
