Surgical Approach
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is performed under general anesthesia with the patient in supine position (Table 1). Access to the abdomen is generally obtained inferior to the umbilicus via open Hassan or closed Veress needle technique. Pneumoperitoneum is established and a 30­degree laparoscope inserted. Two additional operating ports are inserted in the RUQ and one in the subxiphoid epigastrium. Reverse Trendelenburg and tilting the operating table to the patient’s left facilitate displacement of the small bowel and omentum out of the operative field. The fundus of the gallbladder is grasped and retracted cephalad over the edge of the liver via the lateral subcostal port. A thick-walled, tightly distended or hydropic gallbladder may be extremely difficult to grasp. Needle aspiration of gallbladder contents facilitates grasping the gallbladder for retraction. The remainder of the operation is conducted through the subxiphoid and medial right subcostal ports. Any adhesions to the gallbladder are taken down to reveal the triangle of Calot. The infundibulum is retracted laterally to open the triangle, separating the cystic duct from the common hepatic duct. The overlying peritoneum is incised and the triangle of Calot is cleared of soft tissue. Dissection continues until the cystic duct and artery are the only remaining structures in the triangle and can be seen di rectly entering the gallbladder. This constitutes the “critical view of safety” (Figure 5). Opening the peritoneal reflections over the gallbladder and elevating the distal gallbladder off of the liver with electrocautery may facilitate this portion of the operation. This technique is particularly helpful in the setting of acute cholecystitis with dense inflammation of the gallbladder and surrounding structures. Once the critical view of safety is achieved, the cystic duct and artery are doubly clipped and divided. The gallbladder is di ssected off of the liver with electrocautery, placed into a specimen bag, and removed from the abdomen. After hemostasis is assured, pneumoperitoneum is released, all port sites are closed,

and the patient is allowed to emerge from anesthesia.

Special Intraoperative Considerations
Approximately 10% of attempts at laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis result in conversion to an open operation. The primary indication for conversion is an inability to clearly define the anatomy of the biliary tract. Failure to establish the critical view of safety mandates conversion. Other indications include significant inflammation, failure to make satisfactory progress, any suspicion of injury to ductal or vascular structures, and concern for gallbladder cancer (Table 2).
TABLE 2. Indications for Conversion to Open

Intraoperative cholangiography (IOC) may be used routinely in cholecystectomy or reserved for select circumstances (Table 3). Direct imaging of the biliary tree may demonstrate choledocholithi asis in patients suspected of having common duct stones due to biliary dilatation, elevated liver enzymes, or pancreatitis (Figure 6). Stones may be removed via CBD exploration or ERCP, either during the operation or postoperatively. Additionally, IOC may aid in delineating bi liary anatomy or identification of biliary injury.

Patients with severe inflammation pose a particular challenge. Needle decompression of a tense gallbladder allows for more effective retraction. IOC may be necessary to define ductal anatomy. Occasionally, it is not possible to definitively attain the critical view of safety due to unclear anatomy or inflammation, which would render further dissection unsafe. Frequently in these circumstances, the operation may be safely completed with conversion to open. In select cases, however, the patient may be better served with a partial cholecystectomy. The gallbladder is elevated off of the liver bed starting proximally with the fundus. It is then transected at the level of the gallbladder neck or infundibulum without complete dissection of the triangle of Calot. Remaining stones can then be removed through the gallbladder lumen. The distal gallbladder can then be oversewn with absorbable suture. Drains should be left in place, given the risk of a bile leak from the oversewn gallbladder. If partial cholecystectomy is performed, care must be taken to remove almost all of the gallbladder and any remaining stones. Otherwise, the patient could develop recurrent cholecystitis. If this approach is also ill-advised due to severe inflammation and/or anatomical distortion, a cholecystostomy tube may be placed laparoscopically.
Prior abdominal operations are not an absolute contraindication to an attempt at laparoscopic cholecystectomy, but may necessitate deviation from standard port placement. The initial access to the abdomen should be obtained in a location remote from prior operations where possible to minimize the risk of visceral injury. The left subcostal region is often an excellent location. In cases where this is not practical, an open approach to placement of the first port allows direct visualization of any adhesion to the abdominal wall. Alternate port placement may also be considered in patients with indwelling mesh from a prior herniorrhaphy. The camera port and the right subcostal ports may often be placed lateral and superior to the anticipated margins of the mesh. Placing a port directly through indwelling
https://t.me/med1917
synthetic mesh is technically possible but carries a risk of contamination of the prosthetic and subsequent infection, and may compromise the integrity of the hernia repair. While laparoscopic cholecystectomy is technically possible in many patients with prior abdominal surgery, primary open cholecystectomy must also be considered. The ultimate choice of surgical approach must be tailored to the individual.
Postoperative Management
Most patients with acute cholecystitis are able to return home the day after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Regular diet may be resumed immediately after surgery, and oral pain medications usually provide ample analgesia. Antibiotics are not indicated beyond the immediate perioperative period. Some patients experience diarrhea associated with altered bile salt storage after cholecystectomy, but this is typically mild and temporary.
Persistent abdominal pain, fever, or hyperbilirubinemia should prompt evaluation for retained CBD stone, biliary leak, or biliary injury. US should be the initial imaging study as it noninvasively demonstrates biliary dilation and fluid collections. Similar information may be derived from abdominal CT. Biliary dilation should be further evaluated with ERCP to identify a retained CBD stone or biliary injury causing obstruction. D uring the same procedure, interventions such as stent placement, stone extraction, or sphincterotomy may be accomplished (F ig u r e 7). Postoperative fluid collections may represent hematoma, biloma, or abscess. Percutaneous CT- or US-guided drain placement allows for adequate drainage of the collection as well as identification of its source. Return of bilious fluid should prompt ERCP to pinpoint the leak. During ERCP, an endobiliary stent may then be placed to encourage bile flow through the biliary tree into the duodenum rather than into the peritoneum.

A stent is placed across this wire to encourage bile flow into the duodenum rather than through the leak.
Case Conclusion
The patient underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis. Despite residual adhesions from the patient‘s right hemicolectomy, the critical view is achieved and the operation completed laparoscopically. The patient recovers without incident and is discharged on postoperative day 1. On postoperative day 4, she returns to the ER with fever, increasing abdominal pain, leukocytosis, and hyperbilirubinemia. She is admitted to the hospital and treated with antibiotics. US demonstrates a fluid collection in the gallbladder fossa. A percutaneous drain is placed with return of bilious fluid. ERCP identifies a cystic duct stump leak, and a biliary stent is
https://t.me/med1917
inserted endoscopically (Figure 7). The patient‘s condition improves and she returns home 2 days later. The volume of drain output decreases over the course of several weeks, and the drain is subsequently removed. The patient suffers no further complications and no recurrence of her biliary symptoms.
TAKE HOME POINTS
Acute cholecystitis presents with RUQ pain, fever, and leukocytosis. RUQ ultrasound is the first-line diagnostic test. Acute cholecystitis must be distinguished from other biliary pathology such as biliary colic, choledocholithiasis, cholangitis, or biliary pancreatitis. Urgent laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the treatment of choi ce for most patients, even those presenting after 72 hours. During laparoscopic cholecystectomy, no structures should be divided until the critical view of safety is established. Inability to achieve the critical view of safety mandates conversion to open operation. Intraoperative cholangiogram may be useful in defining the patient’s biliary anatomy and identifying choledocholithiasis or biliary injury. Persistent postoperative pain, fever, or hyperbilirubinemia are concerning for retained CBD stone or biliary leak.

Bile Duct Injury
CHRISTOPHER J. SONNENDAY
Presentation
A 38-year-old woman presents to the emergency room with right upper-quadrant pain, nausea, emesis, and subjective fever. She underwent a laparoscopic cholecystectomy 4 days ago for acute cholecystitis. Past medical history is notable for obesity and two uncomplicated pregnancies.
On physical exam, the patient appears uncomfortable and diaphoretic. She is alert and oriented. Vital signs are notable for a temperature of 38.7°C, pulse of 110 beats per minute, blood pressure of 130/80, respiratory rate of 18, and an oxygen saturation of 99%. Her sclerae are anicteric. The abdomen is mildly distended with diffuse tenderness to light palpation, and more focal tenderness in the right upper quadrant. Her laparoscopic port site incisions are dry and intact without erythema or induration.
Differential Diagnosis
Abdominal pain following laparoscopic cholecystectomy, particularly pain significant enough to require an emergency room evaluation, should immediately prompt evaluation for technical complications of the procedure. Postoperative pain following laparoscopic cholecystectomy, now often accomplished as an outpatient operation, is generally moderate and should improve each subsequent postoperative day. It is unusual for otherwise healthy patients to require narcotic analgesics after the first 3 to 5 postoperative days. Patients who do not follow this expected course should be evaluated thoroughly, as early recognition and treatment of postcholecystectomy complications are paramount to limiting the impact of these
