Hepatobiliary Flashcards
Acute cholecystitis needs what
Acute cholecystectomy
Within 72hrs, if delayed then after giving antibiotics
Normal bile duct calibre
4cm
Bile draining post cholesystectomy
Do ERCP and stenting or sphincterotomy if needed
What to do if bile duct got injured
Reconstruction by hepatobiliary surgeon
Pancreatic cancer with liver metastasis
Palliative chemo
Post ERCP still jaundice and new generalized abdominal pain
Do CT
To exclude ampulla trauma
Duodenal perforation
Pancreatitis
Why ERCP is technically challenging
Side view endoscope
Confirm pancreatic necrosis
FNAC for culture but it has risk of seeding infection so careful
Do before necrosectomy
Diagnostic and planning work up for gall stone
USG
Diameter of CBD
Liver function test
Difficult to dissect Calot’s triangle due to dense adhesion for exceeding timeline of 72hrs period of acute cholecystitis
Do operative cholecystoSTOMY
and leave it until situation settles
Then definitive surgery
When to do pancreatic necrosectomy
Infected necrosis on FNAC
AND hemodynamically unstable
Unable to cannulate ampulla for jaundice from carcinoma of pancreatic head
Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiogram and drain under USG
BUT before that undertake staging of the disease whether it is resectable or not cause PTC drain has high risk of dislodging
What is called when gall stone becomes impacted in Hartmann’s pouch
Mirizzi syndrome
Which makes Calot’s triangle difficult to delineate
Importance of mirizzi syndrome
High risk of CBD injury
Site of bile salts absorbtion
Ileum
