RESUMO
Objetivo: La litiasis biliar es una patología frecuente en Chile y el mundo, que suele presentarse como colecistocoledocolitiasis. Dentro de las alternativas para su manejo está el rendez-vous laparoendoscópico (RVLE), que consiste en una colecistectomía laparoscópica asociada a colangiopancreatografía endoscó-pica retrograda (ERCP). Este trabajo tiene como objetivo evaluar la implementación de esta técnica para el tratamiento de la colecistocoledocolitiasis en un hospital universitario. Materiales y Métodos: Cohorte retrospectiva de 4 años de pacientes con colecistocoledocolitiasis en quienes se realizó un RVLE. Resultados: Se incluyeron 296 pacientes, de edad promedio de 52 años, siendo un quinto mayor de 70 años, y presentando un 29,3% comorbilidades significativas. Un 65,2% fueron urgencias y un 12,2% presentó colangitis aguda. El éxito de la técnica fue de un 82,8%. Los cálculos mayores de 5 mm se asociaron al fracaso de ésta. La principal causa de fracaso fue el no paso de la guía hacia el duodeno (13,5%). La morbilidad, clínicamente significativa, fue de 9,5% y la mortalidad global a los 90 días fue de 0,68%. Discusión: El RVLE es un tratamiento eficaz para la colecistocoledocolitiasis en un tiempo quirúrgico, incluso en pacientes mayores de 70 años con comorbilidades, aunque con mayor morbilidad en colangitis aguda. La colangioresonancia magnética es útil en el diagnóstico y aporta información como el tamaño de los cálculos. El no paso de la guía es la principal causa de fracaso, pero se resuelve en la mayoría de los casos con una ERCP tradicional.
Objective: Gallstone disease is a common condition in Chile and worldwide, often manifesting as cholecystocholedocholithiasis. One of the treatment options is laparoendoscopic rendezvous (RVLE), involving laparoscopic cholecystectomy combined with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). This study aims to assess the effectiveness of this technique in managing cholecystocholedocholithiasis at a university hospital. Materials and Methods: A retrospective cohort study spanning four years was conducted on patients diagnosed with cholecystocholedocholithiasis who underwent RVLE. Results: The study included 296 patients, with an average age of 52 years. One-fifth of them were over 70 years old, and 29.3% had significant comorbidities. Of these cases, 65.2% were classified as emergencies, and 12.2% presented with acute cholangitis. The overall success rate of the RVLE procedure was 82.8%. Notably, the presence of gallstones larger than 5 mm was associated with a higher likelihood of procedure failure. The primary reason for failure was the inability of the guidewire to advance into the duodenum (13.5%). Clinically significant morbidity occurred in 9.5% of cases, and the overall mortality rate at 90 days was 0.68%. Discussion: RVLE is an effective treatment for cholecystocholedocholithiasis within a single surgical intervention, even in patients over 70-years-old with comorbidities. However, it is important to note that the procedure is associated with increased morbidity when performed in cases of acute cholangitis. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography serves as a valuable diagnostic tool, providing insights into stone size. The most common cause of procedure failure is the inability of the guidewire to pass through, although this issue can often be resolved with a traditional ERCP.
RESUMO
Introduction: Nutritional exposure is considered the main environmental influence that contributes to gallstone disease (GD). Aim: The aim of this study was to determine food intakes patters and estimate risk of GD. Methods: A nested case-control study was carried out within the framework of a previous screening study conducted on a representative sample in Rosario, Argentina. Participants underwent a personal interview. Average amount of each food intake and quantity nutrients were estimated applying a food-frequency questionnaire. Food consumption patterns were identified by principal component analysis, and logistic regression analysis was used to estimate risks. Results: The sample was conformed by 51 cases and 69 controls. Two dietary patterns were identified. Cases were characterised by the unhealthy intake pattern (high intakes of animal fats, sugar, cereals, grains, cold cuts, processed meats, chicken with skin, fat beef and low intake of red vegetables and yellows, cabbages, fruits and fish). Conclusion: Controls were characterised by the healthy intake pattern (high intake of skinless chicken, nuts, lean beef, vitamin A and C rich fruits, and low consumption of chicken with skin, green leaves vegetables and sprouts). The unhealthy pattern showed an increased risk of developing GD while healthy patter behaved as a protective factor.
Introducción: La exposición nutricional se considera la principal exposición ambiental que contribuye a la formación de cálculos biliares. Objetivo: El objetivo de este trabajo fue determinar el patrón de consumo alimentario de casos y controles de EC y estimar el riesgo de desarrollar la enfermedad según los distintos patrones constituidos. Métodos: Se llevó a cabo un estudio analítico retrospectivo transversal de casos y controles, anidado a un estudio de prevalencia realizado en Rosario. Todos los participantes fueron entrevistados personalmente. El consumo de alimentos se consignó a través de un cuestionario semi-cuantitativo de frecuencia de consumo. Para determinar patrones de consumo alimentario se realizó un análisis de componentes principales, y análisis de regresión logística múltiple para evaluar riesgos. Resultados: La muestra quedó conformada por 51 casos y 69 controles. Se determinaron dos componentes que permitían diferenciar los casos de los controles, a través de las cuales se establecieron 2 patrones de consumo. Los casos se caracterizaron por un consumo determinado por el Patrón Poco saludable (altas ingestas de grasas animales, azúcar, cereales, granos, fiambres y embutidos) y los controles por el consumo del patrón Saludable (altas ingestas de pollo sin piel, frutas secas, carne vacuna magra, frutas, lácteos enteros). El patrón Poco saludable, aumentó el riesgo de desarrollar EC mientras que el patrón Saludable, se comportó como protector. Conclusión principal: Los patrones constituidos diferencian los casos de los controles, y la ingesta propia de los casos se correlaciona con un perfil de consumo que caracteriza a las culturas occidentales modernas y urbanas.

Reports of pancreatic pseudocyst drainage during metabolic bariatric surgery are extremely rare. Our patient is a 38-year-old female suffering from obesity grade IV and presents a persistent symptomatic pancreatic pseudocyst 8 months after an episode of acute biliary pancreatitis. After an extensive evaluation and considering other treatment options, our multidisciplinary team and the patient decided to perform a one-stage procedure consisting of laparoscopic cystogastrostomy, cholecystectomy, and one-anastomosis gastric bypass. After bringing the patient to the operating room, the surgeon performed an anterior gastrostomy to access the stomach's posterior wall, followed by a 6-cm cystogastrostomy on both the stomach's posterior wall and the cyst. Next, a cholecystectomy which involved dissecting the triangle of Calot was performed. Then, an 18-cm gastric pouch using a 36-Fr calibration tube was created. The cystogastrostomy was left in the remaining stomach. Finally, gastrojejunal anastomosis is done. The patient's postoperative course proceeded smoothly, leading to her home discharge on the third postoperative day. At the 1-year follow-up, the patient had lost 56 kg and was symptom-free; a computer tomography scan showed that the pancreatic pseudocyst had resolved. This case shows a video of a successful laparoscopic cystogastrostomy, cholecystectomy, and one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) used to treat persistent abdominal pain and obesity grade IV. We also conduct a bibliographic review.

Gallstone ileus is an uncommon cause of mechanical bowel obstruction in patients with cholecystitis and gallstones who develop a fistula over time. In the post-cholecystectomy patient, the presence of gallstone ileus is extremely rare; these patients have different pathophysiological pathways, such as a spilled gallstone that subsequently erodes into the bowel, subtotal cholecystectomies, and diverticulae that can hold a gallstone for hidden several years. In these patients, the clinical presentations are unique because of their rarity and because the gallbladder had been previously removed. A high index of suspicion by the medical team is needed for diagnosis. We present the case of an 85-year-old male who had a history of cholecystectomy 35 years ago. He presented to the emergency department with intestinal obstruction. Since he had a hernia, it was thought to be the cause of the obstruction; however, during surgery, we were surprised to find a gallstone ileus. After surgery, he fully recovered.

RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To present the treatment of choice and approach in pregnant and postpartum women with a diagnosis of gallstones in Mexico and to compare it with the recommendations of international guidelines. METHOD: Observational, descriptive, and retrospective study based on information from the 2019 Dynamic Cubes database of pregnant women diagnosed with cholecystitis and/or cholelithiasis who had undergone cholecystectomy. RESULTS: During 2019, 937 patients with cholelithiasis and cholecystitis were registered, 516 (55%) pregnant and 421 (45%) in puerperium. 91.47% of cases were managed with medical treatment and 8.53% with cholecystectomy, with predominance in the open approach in 63.75% of cases. Mortality was nil in both groups. CONCLUSIONS: Despite current international guidelines recommending early laparoscopic cholecystectomy in pregnant or puerperal women, in Mexico medical treatment, delayed cholecystectomy and its open approach are still privileged.
OBJETIVO: Determinar el tratamiento de elección, el abordaje y la mortalidad en mujeres embarazadas y en puerperio con diagnóstico de litiasis vesicular en México, y compararlo con las recomendaciones de las guías internacionales. MÉTODO: Estudio observacional, descriptivo y retrospectivo basado en la información de la base de datos Cubos Dinámicos del año 2019 de mujeres embarazadas con diagnóstico de colecistitis o colelitiasis que se hubieran realizado colecistectomía. RESULTADOS: En 2019 se registraron 937 pacientes con colelitiasis y colecistitis, 516 (55%) embarazadas y 421 (45%) en puerperio. El 91.47% de los casos se manejaron con tratamiento médico y el 8.53% con colecistectomía, con predominio del abordaje abierto en el 63.75% de los casos. La mortalidad fue nula en ambos grupos. CONCLUSIONES: A pesar de que las guías internacionales actuales recomiendan la colecistectomía laparoscópica temprana en embarazadas y puérperas, en México todavía se privilegian el tratamiento médico, el retraso de la colecistectomía y su abordaje abierto.

Cholelithiasis has a major impact on global health and affects an average of 20% of the Western population. The main risk factors are females, age over 40 years, obesity and pregnancy. Most of the time it is asymptomatic, but when there are symptoms, they are generally nonspecific. Bile was considered sterile, but today it is known that it contains a complex bacterial flora, which causes biofilm in the gallbladder and gallstones. Among the main bacteria associated with cholelithiasis are Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, species of Enterococcus spp. and Acinetobacter spp. Antibiotic prophylaxis is used in an attempt to reduce postoperative infections, especially at the surgical site. However, some authors found no relationship between the use of antibiotic prophylaxis and a lower risk of surgical site infection. Thus, the aim of this double-blind randomized clinical trial was to compare the existence or not of bacteriobilia in patients at low anesthetic risk who underwent videolaparoscopic cholecystectomy, and its correlation with the use of prophylactic antibiotics. This study included 40 patients between 18 and 65 years old, diagnosed with cholelithiasis, symptomatic or not, with low anesthetic risk classified by the American Society of Anesthesiology in ASA I or ASA II, without complications or previous manipulation of the bile duct, who underwent elective video cholecystectomy, divided into two groups: Experimental Group A (n = 20), which received 2 g of Cephalotin (first-generation Cephalosporin, Keflin®, ABL antibiotics, Cosmópolis, Brazil) during anesthetic induction, and Control Group B (n = 20), where no antibiotics were administered until bile collection. After the procedure, a bile sample was collected and culture and antibiogram were performed. In the sample, 22 (55%) were classified as ASA I and 18 (45%) as ASA II. It was observed that 81.8% of the patients who had a positive culture did not use antibiotics, against 18.2% of those who used prophylaxis. When comparing patients regarding anesthetic risk, ASA I patients had a positive culture in 9.1% of cases, against 90.9% in patients classified as ASA II. It was concluded that patients with higher anesthetic risk (ASA II) have a higher chance of bacteriobilia and benefit from antibiotic prophylaxis when compared to patients with lower anesthetic risk (ASA I).
RESUMO
Se presenta el caso de un paciente varón de 77 años con diagnóstico de colecistitis crónica calculosa y coledocolitiasis, con antecedente de situs inversus totalis. Se le realizó una colecistectomía con exploración de vías biliares laparoscópica, utilizando la "técnica francesa en espejo", con extracción de los cálculos. El paciente evolucionó favorablemente. El objetivo del presente trabajo es dar a conocer el caso clínico que es poco frecuente su reporte en la literatura mundial (solo 9 casos). Su importancia radica en que sería el primer reporte de caso clínico publicado de una colecistectomía y exploración de vías biliares laparoscópica con retiro del cálculo en colédoco en un paciente con situs inversus totalis, realizado en el Perú.
We present the case of a 77-year-old male patient with a diagnosis of chronic calculous cholecystitis and choledocholithiasis, with a history of situs inversus totalis. Therefore, a laparoscopic cholecystectomy with common bile duct exploration were performed, using the "french mirror technique", with stone extraction. Patient evolved favorably. The aim of this study is to present this clinical case that is rarely reported in the world literature (only 9 cases). Its importance lies in the fact that it would be the first published clinical case report of a laparoscopic cholecystectomy and bile duct exploration with removal of the common bile duct stones in a patient with situs inversus totalis, performed in Peru.
RESUMO
Introducción. El íleo biliar es una complicación rara de la colelitiasis y su incidencia varía del 1 al 4 %. Consiste en la migración de un cálculo de la vesicular biliar al tracto gastrointestinal, generando obstrucción intestinal. Presenta síntomas inespecíficos dependiendo del nivel de la obstrucción, lo que hace que su diagnóstico no suela ser precoz, repercutiendo en el deterioro clínico del paciente. Es especialmente grave en pacientes de edad avanzada y con comorbilidades. Casos clínicos. Se reportan los casos de dos pacientes con dolor abdominal difuso, en quienes se diagnosticó íleo biliar por tomografía. Se realizó manejo quirúrgico, el primero mediante técnica abierta y estrategia de dos pasos, y el otro mediante técnica laparoscópica. Discusión. El íleo biliar es una etiología rara de obstrucción intestinal. El cálculo migra debido a una fistula colecisto-entérica y el nivel de obstrucción es con mayor frecuencia la válvula ileocecal. Los síntomas son inespecíficos y dependen del nivel de obstrucción: dolor abdominal difuso mal caracterizado, náuseas, vómito, ausencia de flatos. El diagnóstico se hace mediante tomografía abdominal, en la cual se evidencia la tríada de Rigler. El manejo es quirúrgico, con enterotomía para extraer el cálculo y resolver la obstrucción. Conclusión. El íleo biliar es una patología que debe ser considerada en el abordaje de la obstrucción intestinal, aunque sea poco frecuente. El manejo quirúrgico es clave para resolver el cuadro de obstrucción intestinal; aún así genera importante morbimortalidad en especial en pacientes de avanzada edad.
Introduction. Gallstone ileus is a rare complication of cholelithiasis, its incidence varies from 1% to 4%. It consists of the migration of a stone from the gallbladder to the gastrointestinal tract, causing intestinal obstruction. It presents with non-specific symptoms depending on the level of the obstruction, which means that its diagnosis is not usually early, with repercussions on the clinical deterioration of the patient, being serious especially in elderly patients and with comorbidities. Clinical cases. Two patients with diffuse abdominal pain are reported. A tomographic diagnosis was made showing gallstone ileus. Surgeries were performed, in the first case using an open technique and a 2-step strategy, and on the second one using a laparoscopic technique. Discussion. Gallstone ileus is a rare etiology of intestinal obstruction. Symptoms are usually poorly characterized: diffuse abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, absence of flatus. The diagnosis is made by abdominal tomography in which Rigler's triad is evident. Management is surgical through enterotomy to remove the stone and resolve the obstruction. Conclusion. Gallstone ileus is a rare pathology that should be considered in the approach to intestinal obstruction. Surgical management is key to resolving intestinal obstruction. Even so, it generates significant morbidity and mortality, especially in elderly patients.

Introducción. La colecistectomía laparoscópica es el estándar de oro para el manejo de la patología de la vesícula biliar con indicación quirúrgica. Durante su ejecución existe un grupo de pacientes que podrían requerir conversión a técnica abierta. Este estudio evaluó factores perioperatorios asociados a la conversión en la Clínica Central OHL en Montería, Colombia. Métodos. Estudio observacional analítico de casos y controles anidado a una cohorte retrospectiva entre 2018 y 2021, en una relación de 1:3 casos/controles, nivel de confianza 95 % y una potencia del 90 %. Se caracterizó la población de estudio y se evaluaron las asociaciones según la naturaleza de las variables, luego por análisis bivariado y multivariado se estimaron los OR, con sus IC95%, considerando significativo un valor de p<0,05, controlando variables de confusión. Resultados. El estudio incluyó 332 pacientes, 83 casos y 249 controles, mostrando en el modelo multivariado que las variables más fuertemente asociadas con la conversión fueron: la experiencia del cirujano (p=0,001), la obesidad (p=0,036), engrosamiento de la pared de la vesícula biliar en la ecografía (p=0,011) y un mayor puntaje en la clasificación de Parkland (p<0,001). Conclusión. La identificación temprana y análisis individual de los factores perioperatorios de riesgo a conversión en la planeación de la colecistectomía laparoscópica podría definir qué pacientes se encuentran expuestos y cuáles podrían beneficiarse de un abordaje mínimamente invasivo, en búsqueda de toma de decisiones adecuadas, seguras y costo-efectivas
Introduction. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold standard for the management of gallbladder pathology with surgical indication. During its execution, there is a group of patients who may require conversion to the open technique. This study evaluated perioperative factors associated with conversion at the OHL Central Clinic in Montería, Colombia. Methods. Observational analytical case-control study nested in a retrospective cohort between 2018 and 2021, in a 1:3 case/control ratio, 95% confidence level and 90% power. The study population was characterized and the associations were evaluated according to the nature of the variables, then the OR were estimated by bivariate and multivariate analysis, with their 95% CI, considering a value of p<0.05 significant, controlling for confounding variables. Results. The study included 332 patients, 83 cases and 249 controls, showing in the multivariate model that the variables most strongly associated with conversion were: the surgeon's experience (p=0.001), obesity (p=0.036), gallbladder wall thickening on ultrasonography (p=0.011), and a higher score in the Parkland classification (p<0.001). Conclusions. Early identification and individual analysis of the perioperative risk factors for conversion in the planning of laparoscopic cholecystectomy could define which patients are exposed, and which could benefit from a minimally invasive approach, in search of making safe, cost-effective, and appropriate decisions

ABSTRACT Helicobacter Pylori (H. pylori) is one of the main infectious causes of gastroduodenal diseases, however, its role in developing different extragastric diseases has been proven. The possible involvement of H. pylori in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular, metabolic, neurodegenerative, skin, and hepatobiliary diseases is suggested. The bacterium has been found in tissue samples from the liver, biliary tract, and gallstones of animals and humans. However, the role of H. pylori infection in the pathogenesis of liver and biliary diseases has not been finally established. The histopathological confirmation of the positive effect of H. pylori eradication is needed. In addition, there are discussions on the clinical significance of other Helicobacter species. The review presents the data available for and against the involvement of H. pylori in hepatobiliary disease development and progression.
RESUMO Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) é uma das principais causas infecciosas de doenças gastroduodenais, no entanto, seu papel no desenvolvimento de diferentes doenças extragástricas tem sido comprovado. Sugere-se o possível envolvimento do H. pylori na patogênese de doenças cardiovasculares, metabólicas, neurodegenerativas, cutâneas e hepatobiliares. A bactéria tem sido encontrada em amostras de tecido do fígado, trato biliar e cálculos biliares de animais e humanos. No entanto, o papel da infecção por H. pylori na patogênese de doenças do fígado e das vias biliares ainda não foi estabelecido definitivamente. A confirmação histopatológica do efeito positivo da erradicação do H. pylori é necessária. Além disso, existem discussões sobre a importância clínica de outras espécies de Helicobacter. A revisão apresenta os dados disponíveis a favor e contra o envolvimento do H. pylori no desenvolvimento e progressão das doenças hepatobiliares.
RESUMO
El íleo biliar es una rara complicación de la litiasis vesicular, que se comporta como un cuadro de obstrucción intestinal mecánica, cuya causa es la impactación de uno o más cálculos biliares en su luz. Es evidente que, por lo infrecuente de esta entidad en los servicios quirúrgicos, el diagnóstico de la misma es demorado o no se realiza, incidiendo en la evolución del paciente de manera desfavorable. El objetivo de este trabajo es considerar que un diagnóstico precoz del íleo biliar -basado en el análisis de los antecedentes del enfermo, las manifestaciones clínicas y la interpretación correcta en busca de los signos de la tríada de Rigler- permite una mejor evolución de los pacientes. Los estudios imagenológicos y su interpretación son fundamentales en el diagnóstico de esta entidad.
Biliary ileus is a rare complication of gallbladder lithiasis, which behaves like a mechanic intestinal obstruction, the cause of which is the impaction of one or more gallstones in its lumen. It is evident that because of the infrequency of this entity in the surgical services, its diagnosis is delayed or not carried out, affecting the patient's evolution in an unfavorable way. The aim of this paper is to consider that a precocious diagnosis of biliary ileus-based on the analysis of the patient's history, the clinical manifestations and correct interpretation in search of the signs of Rigler's triad-allows a better evolution of patients. Imaging studies and their interpretation are fundamental in the diagnosis of this entity.
RESUMO
Introducción: El situs inversus totalis es una condición congénita en la cual los órganos torácicos y abdominales se encuentran en posición contraria a la posición habitual. En la literatura quirúrgica internacional se encuentran publicados no más de 55 casos de colecistectomía en pacientes con situs inversus totalis. La resolución laparoscópica de una paciente en nuestra Institución nos permite revisar esta particular condición patológica. Caso Clínico: Paciente femenino de 43 años de edad hospitalizada por una colecistitis aguda la cual es resuelta por vía laparoscópica sin incidentes. Material y Método: Se resume la literatura actual mediante una extensa revisión en PubMed de los reportes más relevantes. Considerando que todos los artículos publicados son casos clínicos o pequeñas series de casos, se presentan los resultados de esta revisión en tablas con estadística descriptiva básica. Discusión: Se discuten las características generales de estos pacientes, la presentación clínica, diagnóstico y técnica quirúrgica. Conclusión: La colecistectomía laparoscópica constituye el estándar de oro en pacientes con situs inversus y patología biliar, la cual debe ser realizada por un cirujano experimentado acomodando los trocares apropiadamente, debido a las dificultades técnicas que se encuentran en estos pacientes por las anomalías anatómicas propias de esta condición. El diagnóstico radiológico actual permite la planificación del abordaje y del procedimiento quirúrgico apropiado para cada paciente.
Introduction: Situs inversus totalis is a congenital condition in which the thoracic and abdominal organs are in the opposite position from normal anatomy. We found no more than 55 cases of cholecystectomy in patients with situs inversus totalis published in the international surgical literature. The laparoscopic resolution of a patient in our Institution allows us to review this particular pathological condition. Clinical Case: A 43-year-old female patient was admitted for acute cholecystitis and was resolved laparoscopically without any incidents. Material and Method: We summarized the current literature through an extensive PubMed review of the most relevant reports. Considering that all published articles are clinical cases or small case series, we present the results of this review in a table with basic descriptive statistics. Discussion: We discuss the general characteristics of these patients, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and surgical technique. Conclusions: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold standard in patients with situs inversus and biliary pathology, which must be performed by an experienced surgeon, properly accommodating the trocars due to the technical difficulties in these patients secondary to anatomical anomalies typical of this condition. Current radiological diagnosis allows planning the appropriate approach and surgical procedure for each patient.
RESUMO
Introducción. En pacientes con diagnóstico de colecistitis aguda tratados con colecistostomía, el tiempo óptimo de duración de la terapia antibiótica es desconocido. El objetivo de este trabajo fue comparar los resultados clínicos en pacientes con diagnóstico de colecistitis aguda manejados inicialmente con colecistostomía y que recibieron cursos cortos de antibióticos (7 días o menos) versus cursos largos (más de 7 días). Métodos. Se llevó a cabo un estudio de cohorte observacional, retrospectivo, que incluyó pacientes con diagnóstico de colecistitis aguda manejados con colecistostomía, que recibieron tratamiento antibiótico. Se hizo un análisis univariado y de regresión logística para evaluar la asociación de variables clínicas con la duración del tratamiento antibiótico. El desenlace primario por evaluar fue la mortalidad a 30 días. Resultados. Se incluyeron 72 pacientes. El 25 % (n=18) recibieron terapia antibiótica por 7 días o menos y el 75 % (n=54) recibieron más de 7 días. No hubo diferencias significativas en la mortalidad a 30 días entre los dos grupos ni en las demás variables estudiadas. La duración de la antibioticoterapia no influyó en la mortalidad a 30 días (OR 0,956; IC95% 0,797 - 1,146). Conclusión. No hay diferencias significativas en los desenlaces clínicos de los pacientes con colecistitis aguda que son sometidos a colecistostomía y que reciben cursos cortos de antibióticos en comparación con cursos largos
Introduction.In patients with acute cholecystitis who receive treatment with cholecystostomy, the optimal duration of antibiotic therapy is unknown. The objective of this study is to compare short courses of antibiotics (7 days or less) with long courses (more than 7 days) in this population. Methods. We performed a retrospective observational cohort study which included patients diagnosed with acute cholecystitis, who received antibiotic therapy and were taken to cholecystostomy. Univariate analysis and logistic regression were performed to evaluate the association between clinical variables and the duration. The main outcome evaluated was 30-day mortality. Results. Seventy-two patients were included, 25% (n=18) were given 7 or fewer days of antibiotics while 75% (n=54) were given them for more than 7 days. Demographic data between both groups were similar (age, severity of cholecystitis, comorbidities). There were no significant differences in 30-day mortality between both groups. Antibiotic duration did not influence mortality at 30 days (OR 0.956, 95% CI 0.797 - 1.146). Conclusion. There are no significant differences in the clinical outcomes of patients with acute cholecystitis who undergo cholecystostomy and receive short courses of antibiotics compared to long courses

Introducción: El reflujo de enzimas pancreáticas hacia la vía biliar extra-hepática y la vesícula biliar es un fenómeno anormal que tiene un rol en la litogénesis y carcinogénesis. Debido a que la presión de la vía biliar depende entre otros factores, de las presiones del esfínter de Oddi. La disfunción de éste se vería reflejada en presiones elevadas de la vía biliar en pacientes con colelitiasis. Objetivo: El objetivo de este estudio es el de medir las presiones de la vía biliar extra-hepática en pacientes con y sin colelitiasis y relacionarlas con la presencia de reflujo pancreáticobiliar. Material y Método: Se diseñó un estudio pros-pectivo de casos y controles. La muestra está constituida por todos los pacientes operados con gastrectomía total por cáncer gástrico estadios I y II durante 30 meses. La medida de resultado primaria fue establecer diferencias en las presiones de la vía biliar entre pacientes con y sin colelitiasis. Resultados: Las presiones de la vía biliar extra-hepática en pacientes con colelitiasis fueron más elevadas (16,9 mmHg) que en los pacientes sin colelitiasis (3,3 mmHg) (p < 0,0001). Estas presiones se correlacionan con la presencia de amilasa y lipasa en la bilis de la vesícula; se encontraron niveles elevados de enzimas pancreáticas en pacientes con colelitiasis (p < 0,0001). Conclusiones: Las presiones de la vía biliar en pacientes con colelitiasis fueron, significativamente, mayores comparadas con las presiones de la vía biliar en pacientes sin colelitiasis. En los pacientes con colelitiasis, la presión elevada de la vía biliar se asocia a la presencia de reflujo pancreáticobiliar.
Background: The reflux of pancreatic enzymes into the bile duct and the gallbladder is an abnormal phenomenon that plays a role in lithogenesis and carcinogenesis. Because the pressure of the common bile duct depends on the pressures of the sphincter of Oddi, its dysfunction would be reflected in an increase in the pressure of the common bile duct in patients with cholelithiasis. Aim: The objective of this study was to measure the pressures of the common bile duct in patients with and without cholelithiasis and to relate them to the presence of pancreatobiliary reflux. Material and Method: A prospective case-control study was designed. The universe was constituted by all patients undergoing total gastrectomy for gastric cancer stages I and II during 30 months. The primary outcome measure was to establish differences between common bile duct pressures in patients with and without cholelithiasis. Results: Common bile duct pressures in patients with gallstones showed a significant elevation (16.9 mmHg) compared to patients without gallstones (3.3 mm Hg) (p < 0.0001). These pressures correlated with the levels of amylase and lipase in gallbladder bile; higher levels were found in patients with gallstones compared to patients without gallstones (p < 0.0001). Conclusions: Common bile duct pressure in patients with cholelithiasis was significantly higher compared to patients without cholelithiasis leading to pancreatobiliary reflux.
RESUMO
Background: Gallstone ileus represents 4% of the causes of bowel obstruction in general population, but it increases to 25% in patients above 65 years of age. Gallstone ileus does not present with unique symptoms, making diagnosis difficult. It has a high mortality (12 to 27%) due to associated comorbidities and diagnostic delay. The aim of this case report is to communicate the importance of prompt diagnosis and surgical management of gallstone ileus. Clinical case: It is presented the clinical case of a 67-year-old female patient with a history of long-standing diabetes mellitus without medical control, without previous surgical history, who began suffering 2 days prior to admission to the emergency room with signs and symptoms of intestinal occlusion. She was given medical management without improvement and diagnostic delay of mechanical intestinal occlusion that was surgically intervened 7 days after the onset of clinical symptoms, finding gallstone ileus in the exploratory laparotomy, with satisfactory resolution of the pathology despite the diagnostic delay. Conclusions: Gallstone ileus is a difficult clinical entity to diagnose and therefore requires a high index of suspicion. The aim of gallstone ileus treatment is to release the obstruction, which is done through enterolithotomy. It is the recommended technique for gallstone ileus management because of its lower morbidity and mortality, compared with the other techniques.
Introducción: el íleo biliar representa el 4% de las causas de obstrucción intestinal en la población en general, pero incrementa a un 25% en los pacientes de más de 65 años. No presenta síntomas únicos, lo cual hace difícil su diagnóstico. Tiene una alta mortalidad (entre 12 y 27%) debido a las comorbilidades asociadas y al retraso diagnóstico. El objetivo de este caso clínico es comunicar la importancia del diagnóstico oportuno y el manejo quirúrgico del íleo biliar. Caso clínico: se presenta el caso clínico de una paciente de 67 años con antecedente de diabetes mellitus de larga evolución sin control médico, sin antecedentes quirúrgicos previos, cuyo padecimiento comenzó dos días antes de su ingreso a urgencias con signos y síntomas de oclusión intestinal. Se le dio manejo médico sin mejoría y hubo retraso diagnóstico de oclusión intestinal mecánica, la cual fue intervenida quirúrgicamente siete días después del inicio del cuadro clínico. En la laparotomía exploradora se encontró un íleo biliar, con resolución satisfactoria de la patología a pesar del retraso diagnóstico. Conclusiones: el íleo biliar es una entidad clínica de difícil diagnóstico que requiere un alto índice de sospecha. El objetivo del tratamiento del íleo biliar es liberar la obstrucción por medio de la enterolitotomía. Comparada con las otras técnicas, esta es la técnica recomendada para el manejo del íleo biliar, debido a su menor morbimortalidad.

CONTEXT: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is associated with several gastrointestinal disorders, and the prevalence of cholelithiasis is high in this population. Because individuals with SCI may have atypical symptoms and more advanced disease, some treatment centers advocate prophylactic cholecystectomy for patients with SCI and gallstone disease. OBJECTIVE: To systematically review the existence and quality of studies on prophylactic cholecystectomy in individuals with SCI and cholelithiasis. METHODS: A systematic search of literature up to July 10, 2022 was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines using the Medline, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases. Keywords used were "cholecystectomy," "gallbladder," "cholelithiasis," "gallstone," and "spinal cord injury." RESULTS: The search identified 118 articles, of which 4 met the inclusion criteria. All these were retrospective observational studies. Prophylactic cholecystectomy was performed in 4-16.5% of the participants. The causes of cholecystectomy were chronic cholecystitis with biliary colic (44.5-63.5%), acute cholecystitis (4-26%), choledocholithiasis (6-11%) and pancreatitis (2-6%). Operative times, conversion rates, estimated blood loss, severity of complications, morbidity and mortality did not differ significantly between individuals with SCI and neurologically able individuals. CONCLUSION: No prospective cohort studies comparing prophylactic cholecystectomy with conservative management in individuals with SCI and gallstone disease have been conducted. Therefore, there is no robust evidence to support prophylactic cholecystectomy and further studies are required.

Objetivo: establecer los factores predictivos y causas de conversión de la colecistectomía laparoscópica. Métodos: se trata de un metaanálisis en el que se realizó revisión bibliográfica a través de 8 bases de datos, se incluyeron 14 publicaciones correspondientes al periodo 2019 2023.Resultados : se encontró que los factores predictivos de conversión de colecistectomía laparoscópica se dividen en: factores propios del paciente: edad, género, índice de masa corporal, comórbidos, antecedente de cirugía abdominal; factores de la enfermedad: forma de ingreso del paciente bien sea electiva o de urgencia, presencia de colecistitis aguda, incremento del grosor de la pared vesicular, presencia de adherencias en el lecho operatorio; y factores del cirujano: que incluyen tanto la experiencia de este como la percepción de colecistectomía difícil.Conclusión : se ha logrado establecer en el presente trabajo que el sexo masculino, la edad avanzada, el mayor grosor de la pared de la vesícula biliar y la presencia de colecistitis aguda, representan factores predictivos de conversión de colecistectomía laparoscópica. Las principales causas de conversión fueron adherencias, dificultad de disección o visualización de las estructuras que componen el triángulo de Calot y hemorragia no controlada(AU)
Objective: to establish the predictive factors and causes of conversion of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods: this is a qualitative research in which a bibliographic review was carried out through 8 databases, 14 publications corresponding to the period 2019 - 2023 were included.Results : it was found that the predictive factors of laparoscopic cholecystectomy conversion were They are divided into: factors specific to the patient: age, gender, body mass index, comorbidities, history of abdominal surgery; disease factors: admission of the patient, whether elective or urgent, presence of acute cholecystitis, increased thickness of the gallbladder wall, presence of adhesions in the surgical bed; and surgeon factors: which include both the surgeon's experience and the perception of difficult cholecystectomy.Conclusion : it has been established in the present work that the male sex, advanced age, greater thickness of the gallbladder wall and the presence of acute cholecystitis represent predictive factors for laparoscopic cholecystectomy conversion. The main causes of conversion were adhesions, difficulty in dissection or visualization of the structures that make up Calot's triangle, and uncontrolled bleeding(AU)
