22 Atlas of Gastrointestinal Surgery: Gall Bladder and Biliary Tract
Once the cystic artery has been divided, the gall bladder is mobilized out of the liver bed (6). I prefer to mobilize it from above downward. The serosa is opened three or four millimeters from the liver, and then elevated with a fine clamp. Using the electrocautery, the serosa is divided from above downward circumferentially around the entire gall bladder. The gall bladder is then dissected out of the liver bed utilizing the electrocautery, sharp dissection using scissors (7), or by blunt dissection. One needs to be aware that small anomalous ducts may enter the gall bladder directly from the liver, and these should be clamped and ligated, or suture ligated. If the cystic artery has been divided prior to mobilization of the gall bladder, very little bleeding occurs. Any bleeding that is present is easily controlled with the electro-

Once the gall bladder has been completely mobilized out of the liver bed, the anatomy is generally clear, and if the cystic

artery has not been previously identified, control of that vessel can now be accomplished. If one has decided to perform operative cholangiography, once the gall blad­der mobilization has been completed, it is time to perform the procedure (8).
In most patients with normal liver function, and no other clear indications for cholangiography, it will not be necessary. However, in some patients operative cholangiography will be required. In patients who have a history of cholangitis or pan­creatitis and with multiple small stones in the gall bladder, many feel cholangiography is indicated. If the common duct is dilated, and if there has been a clear history of common duct stones, cholangiography

should be performed. After placing a tie at the cystic–duct­gall bladder junction, a small opening is made distally in the cys­tic duct, approximately 1 cm from its junction with the common hepatic duct. A cholangiocatheter is inserted and secured with a 2-0 silk that is tied around the distal cystic duct containing the catheter (8). After adequate cholangiography has been obtained, the cholangiocatheter is removed, the cystic duct is doubly clamped and divided (9), and the gall bladder is removed from the operative field.

The cystic duct stump is then ligated with a 2-0 silk (10). Most surgeons continue to use silk, as we do. Others are concerned that silk may act as a nidus for gallstone formation and thus use a synthetic absorbable material. Clips may also be used. Clips are used routinely dur­ing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The right upper quadrant is copiously irrigated with an antibi­otic-containing saline solution, hemostasis in the bed of the liver is achieved with the electro­cautery or argon beam coagulator, and the abdomen is closed (11). Most surgeons do not leave a drain following a routine cholecystectomy. However, if the cholecystectomy was for acute cholecystitis, or if there has been bile leakage from the gall bladder bed in the liver, leaving a closed suction Silastic drain is appropriate.

Many studies have shown drains to be
unnecessary following cholecystectomy.
The only reason for leaving a drain behind is if
an unexpected bile leak occurs from a small
unrecognized bile ductule in the bed of
the liver. Leaving a drain in place obvi-
ates the need for percutaneous
drainage if a biloma or abscess
occurs. Even though rare, it seems
to us that the discomfort of a
drain is worth the avoidance of
a potential biloma or subhepat-
ic abscess, in the face of acute
cholecystitis, or bile seeping from the gall bladder bed in
11
the liver. If biliary drainage
does not occur within 48
hours, it can be removed, often
on an outpatient basis. There are
virtually no significant liabilities
from draining the operative site fol-
lowing elective cholecystectomy.
Common Duct Exploration
Operative Indications:
In the past, common duct exploration was a common procedure performed by general surgeons. Today it is only infrequent­ly indicated. Most patients with common duct stones can be managed by endoscopic techniques. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography can delineate the anatomy, and following papillotomy, most stones can be endoscopically extracted from the duct using balloons or baskets. Those that cannot be easily extracted generally pass spontaneously within the next few days. Some patients are not candidates for endoscopic papillotomy. Patients who have had gastric resections with a Billroth II reconstruction, generally are not candidates for endoscopic retrograde procedures on the biliary tree. Many of those patients can be managed percutaneously and transhepatically with catheters, either pushing the stone forward through the ampulla into the duodenum, or extracting them out a mature percutaneous tract. Occasionally, there will be patients who are not candidates for either endoscopic or percutaneous procedures—who, at the time of open cholecystectomy, will have indications for common duct exploration.
Operative Technique
The operation is generally performed through a right subcostal incision.
26 Atlas of Gastrointestinal Surgery: Gall Bladder and Biliary Tract
Prior to performing a choledochoto­my the duodenum is kocherized exten­sively (1). This allows one to palpate the distal common duct as it passes behind the first portion of the duode­num and the head of the pancreas, prior to entering the distal second portion of the duodenum through the ampulla. The common duct itself is cleaned for a 2 cm or 3 cm length, generally between the cystic duct stump and the duodenum. Stay sutures of 5-0 synthetic nonabsorbable material are placed in the common duct, and a choledochotomy is per­formed (2). The choledochotomy should be of ample length, at least 1

2 cm, to allow for easy instrumentation of the

duct without traumatic extension. Stones are often spontaneously evacuated as bile issues forth from the common duct opening. At the same time, any stones that are palpated in the distal common duct can be milked up toward the choledochotomy and removed (3).

There are a variety of instruments that one can utilize to explore the biliary tree. Generally, we utilize all of these instruments in an effort to completely rid the biliary tree of cal­culi. It is important that the choledochotomy be made adequate in length, so that the instruments used to extract biliary calculi do not traumatically extend the incision. A variety of scoops with malleable handles can be used to pass distally down to the ampulla (4) and prox­imally up into the intrahepatic biliary tree via both the right and left hepatic ducts. These scoops come in a variety of sizes and can be extremely effective in removing small stones or biliary sludge.

Randall stone forceps are also utilized (5), and many surgeons use these instruments ini-
tially in the duct exploration. These forceps come with a variety of curves that
range from almost straight, to right-angled and even acutely angled. These
instruments are very effective in grasping larger well-formed stones. The
biliary balloon catheter is particularly useful. It can be passed down
distally through the ampulla and then inflated to document patency
of the distal biliary tree into the duodenum. This is perhaps the
safest way to demonstrate an open ampulla. In using the balloon

catheter, one has to be careful that it is not overdistended.
Experimental studies have demonstrated intrahepatic ductal
disruptions and liver abscesses from overinflation of the
balloon. If one constantly moves the catheter back and
forth as the balloon is inflated, being certain that the
balloon catheter remains mobile within the ductal sys-

tem, overinflation is unlikely.

The balloon catheter is particularly effective in retrieving intra­hepatic stones (6).
One of the most effective maneuvers in ridding the biliary tree of small stones and biliary sludge is irrigation using a small catheter. A 12 French catheter placed intrahepatically into the right and left hepatic ducts, together with large volume irrigation

with saline, is extremely effective in ridding the entire biliary tree of small stones (7).

This irrigation maneuver can also be carried out distal­ly (8). Passage of the French catheter through the ampul­la into the duodenum is also a safe way of demonstrat­ing ampullary patency.
The use of Bakes dilators is controversial. Many surgeons feel that the potential for creating false pas-

sages, injuring the ampulla and/or initiating postoper­ative pancreatitis is so great that these metal dilators should never be used. Other surgeons feel it is accept­able to carefully and gently utilize the smallest Bakes dilators to demonstrate patency of the ampulla only, and not for dilatation. Our philosophy is that it is easier to demonstrate patency of the ampulla with either a balloon catheter or a small French catheter. If neither of these is effective in demonstrating patency of the ampulla, then very cautious and gentle use of a small Bakes dilator is acceptable. Generally, the Bakes dilator pass­es gently through ampulla, and patency can be demonstrated by see­ing the “steel grey” end of the dilator pressed against the lateral wall of the duodenum (9). We feel that, only rarely, is there an indication for the use of a Bakes dilator larger than 3 French.

Flexible choledochoscope
maneuvers have been used to rid the biliary tree of stones,
many biliary tract surgeons prefer to perform choledo-
choscopy. There are many flexible fiber optic instruments that can be used. Many studies have demonstrated that operative choledochoscopy significantly lowers the inci-
dence of retained common duct stones. Using a flexible
choledochoscope allows the surgeon to visualize the entire
extrahepatic biliary tree, and a large portion of the intrahep-
atic biliary tree. With a choledochoscope one can utilize bal-
loon and basket catheters to retrieve visualized stones (10).
Tailored T-tube
11
Following completion of the common duct exploration, routinely, a T-tube is insert­ed. Our preference is for the variety of T-tube with a larger diameter external limb and a small diameter T. We further decrease the size of the T by cutting off the back wall. A wedge should also be removed (11) from the back wall to allow collapse of the two T limbs when the T-tube is removed.
Following insertion of the T-tube, the choledochotomy is closed with either continuous or interrupted sutures (12). Many surgeons feel that synthetic absorbable material, either 4-0 or 5-0, should be utilized to eliminate the theoretical possibility of a permanent suture

material acting as a nidus for stone formation. Others have utilized synthetic nonabsorbable monofilament material without any obvious adverse affects.
Closing cholangiography should be performed. If filling defects (suggestive of stones that are so large that they probably will not pass spontaneously) are seen, the duct exploration should be repeated. Some feel that, if successful choledochoscopy has been performed, a completion cholangiogram is not necessary. We feel, however, that a clos­ing cholangiogram should always be performed. If contrast does not enter the duodenum on cholangiography, glucagon should be administered to relieve ampullary spasm.
The T-tube should be brought out laterally, without sharp turns or bends to allow for easy instrumentation subsequently if a retained stone should be identified. The T-tube should be firmly secured at the skin with two 5-0 stainless steel wire

sutures. Bile-bag drainage via gravity should be established immediately. A closed suction Silastic drain should be left in the area of the choledochotomy and T-tube exit site.
