Q

What Is the Significance of Abdominal Pain
After Eating Fatty Foods?

A

انه لما يتم تناول الطعام الدهني رح يتم انتاج cholecystokinin (CCK) وهذا مسؤول عن انقباض المرارة عشان تخرج العصارة منها ولكن وجود الحصوة بمنع ، وهذا مع الوقت رح يعمل :

ensuing distention of the gallbladder stretches the visceral peritoneum that surrounds it, leading to RUQ and/or epigastric pain that is vague and mild to moderate in severity (symptomatic cholelithiasis).

Q

What Is the Significance of RUQ Pain
Combined with Scapular Pain?
طيب شو سبب بمنطقة الكتف ؟

A

انه الأصل الهم نفس المصدر :

The scapula is innervated by the supraclavicular nerves, and the soft tissue surrounding the gallbladder is innervated by the phrenic nerve. Since the same spinothalamic pathways ( pain and temperature) from both nerves travel to the same
cervical cord levels,

44
Q

Transient obstruction of the cystic duct
→ visceral peritoneal stretch → RUQ pain

A

Symptomatic
cholelithiasis

45
Q

Acute
cholecystitis

A

Persistent obstruction of the cystic duct
→ visceral peritoneal stretch → inflammation
of the gallbladder → bacterial overgrowth
→ infection of the gallbladder → parietal
peritoneum inflammation

46
Q

Choledocholithiasis

A

Obstruction of the common bile duct (CBD)

47
Q

Cholangitis

A

Obstruction of the CBD → bacterial
overgrowth → infection of the entire biliary
tree → ascends into the liver

48
Q

Acute gallstone pancreatitis

A

Obstruction of the CBD and pancreatic duct
→ pancreatic enzyme release

49
Q

Gallstone ileus

A

Very large stone erodes into the duodenum
→ gallbladder-duodenal fistula → stone
travels down the GI tract → small bowel
obstruction (not ileus!)

50
Q

Mirizzi’s
syndrome

A

Large gallstone impacted in the cystic duct
→ compresses the common hepatic duct

51
Q

Gallstone ileus is a

A

mechanical small bowel obstruction, typically as a result of the gallstone trapped at the terminal ileum near the ileocecal valve as this is the narrowest part of the gastrointestinal tract.

Patients present with a tumbling obstruction with transient episodes of diffuse abdominal pain and nausea and air in the biliary tree

52
Q

Diagnosis of these conditions

A

A RUQ ultrasound is the diagnostic test of choice

53
Q

The ultrasound should also note

A

the thickness of the gallbladder wall and whether there is any fluid surrounding the gallbladder.

The ultrasound should make note of the diameter of the CBD as well as whether a stone is visualized within it.

54
Q

These two findings, gallbladder wall thickening (>4 mm) and pericholecystic fluid, are diagnostic for…………..

A

acute cholecystitis

55
Q

Most gallstones are……… , so a CT scan of the
abdomen may be negative.

A

radiolucent

56
Q

What Is the Normal CBD Diameter,

A

A normal CBD ranges from 4–5 mm
In most patients a CBD >6 mm is considered abnormally dilated

57
Q

In most patients a CBD >6 mm is considered abnormally dilated. This suggests……

A

obstruction from either a
gallstone or a tumor.

58
Q

How Accurate Is Ultrasonography
in Detecting Gallstones Within
the Gallbladder? Within the CBD?

A

Ultrasound is very sensitive (95%) and specific (97%) for
gallstones (even as small as 1–2 mm) within the gallbladder.

Conversely, it is very poor for detecting gallstones within the
CBD (sensitivity of about 50%) as bowel gas interferes with
the ultrasound waves.

59
Q

What If the Ultrasound Demonstrates Gas Bubbles in the Gallbladder Wall?

A

This would be concerning for emphysematous cholecystitis

60
Q

emphysematous cholecystitis

61
Q

an infection due to gas-forming organisms.

common in older men, often with diabetes mellitus. Bile cul-
tures will often grow Clostridium or E. coli.

A

emphysematous cholecystitis

63
Q

emphysematous cholecystitis can progress to

A

1- gallbladder perforation
2- intra-abdominal abscess,
3- sepsis
4- death if cholecystectomy is not performed emergently
along with administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics
(that must also cover Clostridia).

64
Q

A liver panel should include

A

1- Total and direct bilirubin,
2- aspartate (AST) and alanine (ALT) amino transferase
3- alkaline phosphatase (AP)
4- gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT).

65
Q

In a patient who only had symptomatic cholelithiasis, all of
these ( liver panel ) should be……

A

normal

66
Q

Mild elevations in liver panel can be seen in

A

acute
cholecystitis.

67
Q

Significantly elevated AP and GGT out of proportion to AST and ALT suggest

A

1- cholestasis or biliary obstruction 2- are often related to choledocholithiasis

68
Q

marked elevations in AST or ALT, out of proportion to the
AP and GGT, indicate

A

1- hepatocellular damage
2- a primary hepatic pathology such as viral or alcoholic hepatitis
2- any other condition in which hepatocyte necrosis is occurring.

69
Q

……. is the test of choice to rule out pancreatitis.

A

Lipase

70
Q

Better tests of the liver’s
synthetic function include

A

albumin,
prothrombin time (PT),
international normalized ratio (INR)
as the liver synthesizes albumin and clotting factors.

71
Q

……. . This may occur if gallstones are very small (≤ …. mm) or if there are very few gallstones.

Another possibility is acalculous cholecystitis.

A

72
Q

If abdominal ultrasound is negative for gallstones, a …… scan is done.

A

73
Q

HIDA has a sensitivity of…% and a specificity of…..%.

A

97 , 90

74
Q

One possible explanation of is the rare false-negative ultrasound
<5%. This may occur if gallstones are very small (≤1 mm) or if there are very few gallstones.

Another possibility is ……

A

acalculous cholecystitis.

75
Q

Can You Develop Acute Cholecystitis Without Gallstones?

A

Yes, acalculous cholecystitis (cholecystitis in the absence of
gallstones) can occur, though very rare

76
Q

Ultrasound in acalculus Cholecystitis will typically demonstrate ……. , If ultrasound is completely negative, a……. scan is obtained.

A

a thickened gallbladder wall or pericholecystic fluid without stones. , HIDA

77
Q

Treatment of acalculas Cholecystitis includes

A

1- IV antibiotics and emergent intervention.

2- If the patient is
- stable : emergent cholecystectomy is performed.

  • is unstable, percutaneous cholecystostomy (tube
    to drain the gallbladder) is performed followed by cholecystectomy once the patient is medically stable.
78
Q

Common settings for acalculous cholecystitis include

A

critically ill patients on ventilators and post cardiopulmonary bypass.

79
Q

The low-flow state leads to gallbladder ischemia, stasis, and in!ammation.

A

acalculous cholecystitis

80
Q

What Is the Difference Between an Urgent and Emergent Case?

A

An urgent case can be booked during the next available oper-
ating room (OR) time slot (6–24 hours), while an emergent
case requires a patient to be rushed to the OR immediately.

82
Q

What Is the Next Step in the Management

Fluid, Gallbladder Wall Thickening of 5 mm,
and a Positive Sonographic Murphy’s Sign?

A

1- admitted to the hospital
2- made NPO, and given IV fluids and IV antibiotics with gram negative and anaerobic coverage.
3 - laparoscopic cholecystectomy
(provided the patient is not medically considered high risk) within 48–72 hours of presentation leads to fewer surgical complications and decreases length of stay

83
Q

What Is the Ideal Choice of Antibiotics? In acute Cholecystitis

A

1- Second-generation cephalosporins (e.g., cefoxitin)
are considered first line
2- An alternative would be broad spectrum penicillin/β-lactamase inhibitors such as ( piperacillin/tazobactam or ampicillin/sulbactam.)
3- In severe cases,
third- and fourth-generation cephalosporins may be used.

84
Q

asymptomatic gallstones require cholecystectomy ?
