Gallbladder Surface Anatomy
• Lies in the right upper quadrant, under the costal margin at the level of the 9th costal cartilage
• The level of the 9th costal cartilage can be palpated as a distinct notch

Gallstones
• Common (20% population)• Cholesterol stones in West• Female proponderance (3/1)• Risk factors
– Obesity– Oestrogen– Hypercholesterolaemia– Increasing age– 5 F’s
![Page 11: Gallstone Disease](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56813191550346895d980342/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Clinical Manifestations
• Asymptomatic• Cholecystitis• Biliary colic• Complications
– Jaundice– Pancreatitis– Cholangitis– Gallstone ileus– Carcinoma of gallbladder
![Page 12: Gallstone Disease](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56813191550346895d980342/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Acute Cholecystitis
• Acute inflammation of the gallbladder• Usually associated with calculi (stones)
– Calculus causes obstruction at Hartmann's pouch or cystic duct
• Less commonly with biliary sludge• A-calculus (no-stone) cholecystitis rare• Bacterial infection in 50% only• Recurrent attacks result in fibrosed thickened
gallbladder (chronic cholecystitis)
![Page 13: Gallstone Disease](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56813191550346895d980342/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Acute Cholecystitis Clinical Features
Pain• Sudden onset• Post-prandial• RUQ—around to back• Constant• Associated nausea and vomiting• May last several hours to days• Recurrent attacks common
![Page 14: Gallstone Disease](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56813191550346895d980342/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Acute Cholecystitis
Signs• Pyrexia (37.5-38.5)• Associated jaundice signifies CBD blockage
– CBD stone or Mirrizi’s Syndrome• Abdominal tenderness localized to RUQ• Murphys’ sign positive
![Page 15: Gallstone Disease](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56813191550346895d980342/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Murphys’ Sign
• Inspiratory arrest with manual pressure below the gallbladder
![Page 16: Gallstone Disease](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56813191550346895d980342/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Biliary Colic
• Pain associated with passage of stone
• Usually not colicky but constant (a misnomer)
• As cholecystitis but notnot associated with fever/ leucocytosis and positive Murphys’ sign
• Usually resolves after minutes- few hours
![Page 18: Gallstone Disease](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56813191550346895d980342/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Complications

Charcots’ Triad- Ascending cholangitis
1. Pain
2. Fever
3. Jaundice
![Page 20: Gallstone Disease](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56813191550346895d980342/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Courvoisiers’ Law
In the presence of jaundice a palpable gallbladder is most likely due to malignant obstruction of the bile duct
• Based on presumption that patients with gallstones have chronically inflammed, fibrosed gallbladders incapable of distension
• Does not always hold true e.g.– Empyema + CBD stone
![Page 21: Gallstone Disease](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56813191550346895d980342/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Acute Cholecystitis - Investigation
• Bloods– FBC (WCC)– LFT’s (Bilirubin, GGT, Alk Phos)– Amylase
• Imaging– CXR– Ultrasound– CT
• Special tests
![Page 22: Gallstone Disease](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56813191550346895d980342/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Acute Cholcystitis – Special tests
• Endoscopic Retrograde Cholecystogram (ERCP)– Diagnostic and therapeutic
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRC)
• Other forms of Cholangiography– Intra-operative– Percutaneous Transhepatic (PTC)– Oral cholangiogram
![Page 23: Gallstone Disease](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56813191550346895d980342/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Acute Cholecystitis – Management
• Restrict Oral intake (NPO)– Intravenous fluids– Ng tube aspiration (for vomiting)
• Analgesia– Morphine
• Intravenous antibiotics– Gram negative cover
(co-amoxiclav—gentamicin—piperacillin)• Cholecystectomy after resolution
![Page 24: Gallstone Disease](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56813191550346895d980342/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Biliary Colic - Management
• Acute attack usually resolves spontaneously
• Analgesia
• Investigations as for cholecystitis
• Prolonged attacks treated as cholecystitis
• Elective cholecystectomy
![Page 25: Gallstone Disease](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56813191550346895d980342/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Ascending Cholangitis
• Charcots’ Triad
• Investigations– FBC, LFT's, Amylase, US
• Management– Resuscitation (IV fluids)– Antibiotics (G-negative cover)– Intensive monitoring (urometry)
![Page 26: Gallstone Disease](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56813191550346895d980342/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Ascending Cholangitis
• Definitive management
– ERCP and stone removal +/- stent
– Cholecystectomy after resolution
![Page 27: Gallstone Disease](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56813191550346895d980342/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Gallstone Pancreatitis
• Commonest cause of Pancreatitis
• More severe than alcohol Pancreatitis
• Due to CBD stones irritating pancreas– Obstruction at ampulla of Vater– Irritation in pancreatic portion of CBD
![Page 28: Gallstone Disease](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56813191550346895d980342/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
• Commonest elective surgical procedure
• Standard treatment for gallstone disease
• May be performed as daycase
• Converted to open in small number
