4 2 World Journal of Colorectal Surgery Vol. 3, Iss. 3 [2013], Art. 6 Background to the Topic ABSTRACT Since the first documented laparoscopic performed by Erich Muhe in Germany in , 3,This procedure has become the gold standard for. The level of difficulty of the procedure is variable, and there are a number of studies to try and analyze the pre operative criteria in relation to the difficulty in countered during surgery. Aims To evaluate the impact of pre operative Ultrasound findings of gallbladder wall thickness and number of stones in gallbladder to the level of intra-operative difficulty and post operative complications. Patients and Methodology This is a prospective study done in NMC Specialty Hospital, Dubai, UAE in cooperation between Radiology and General Surgery departments between June 2007 to June Abdominal sonography was performed in 100 consecutive patients before surgery. Surgeon reverified sonographic findings intra operatively. Results Out of 100 patients with cholecystolithiasis on sonography, we encountered straightforward laparoscopic in 72 (72%), difficult laparoscopic in 20 (20%) and procedure was converted to open in 8 (8%). 42 patients had ultrasound revealing gallbladder wall thickness (more than 3mm). The accuracy of sonography for cholecystolithiasis was 99.9%. Main Conclusions In our study, increased gallbladder wall thickness is not a good predictor of difficulties during laparoscopic, though normal gallbladder wall thickness is a good predictor of no difficulties. However interestingly, we found that multiple gall stones is a good predictor that the surgical procedure of laparoscopic may be difficult. 2

5 Alaswad: The Role of Ultrasound in Laprascopic Cholecystectomy 3 INTRODUCTION A number of studies have related gallbladder wall thickness of greater than 3mm as pre operative Ultrasound study to increased difficulties during laparoscopic. Our study aimed to reverify impact of pre operative Ultrasound study gallbladder wall thickness on intra operative difficulties and to look if other criteria like the number of stones in the gallbladder will affect the level of difficulties during surgery. AIMS To evaluate the impact of gallbladder wall thickness assessed by ultrasound preoperatively on the outcome of laparoscopic. PATIENTS AND METHODS This is a prospective clinical study conducted in combination between Radiology and General Surgery departments in NMC Speciality Hospital Dubai between June 2007 and June patients with calculus cholecystitis were included in this prospective study ranging from 25 to 55 years old, 74 females and 26 males. Selection criteria were: 1) Sonography done by the same radiologist and within 30 days from surgery. 2) All procedures were performed by the same team. Exclustion Criteria : 1- Previous abdominal operation. 2- Co-morbid illness which place patient at higher risk for surgery and anesthesia 3- Acute cholecystitis. 4- Cholelithiasis with jaundice. The laparoscopic system used was Carl Storz. Ultra sound study was performed in all patients before operation and the findings were re-verified by surgeon in the operating room. Diagnostic ultrasound machine used was iu22 Philips model with multiple probes. All patients were examined at least 8 hours after fasting in supine and left decubitus positions. In ultrasound we checked for morphology of the gallbladder, wall thickness, configuration of the liver, intra and extra hepatic ducts diameter, number and location of stones in the gallbladder and presence and absence of pericholecystic edema. All patients had operation between day 1-30 after the ultrasound. An evaluation questionnaire was sent to the operating room with each patient, and the operating surgeon correlated the data on the checklist with intra operative findings immediately after the operation. Duration of each procedure was recorded just after insertion 3 Produced by The Berkeley Electronic Press, 2013

6 4 World Journal of Colorectal Surgery Vol. 3, Iss. 3 [2013], Art. 6 of the ports till removal of all the ports i.e. time of insertion,time of closure were not recorded. Intra operative technical difficulties were defined by a preparation time (the time needed after insertion of all ports to identify all structures in calot s triangle) of more than 20 minutes. The procedure was defined to be difficult if: a- Preparation time (i.e. the time needed after insertion of all ports to identify the anatomy at calot's triangle) more than twenty minutes. b- Overall operation time more than two hours. c- The operation time is from the time of insertion of all ports to the time of removal of ports (note: the closure post sites is not included in the definition of operation time). d- The operation time may have been prolonged due to : 1- Difficulty in recognizing anatomy of calot's triangle. 2- Preitoneal and perivescicular adhesions. 3- Excessive and uncontrollable bleeding. The surgeon makes the decision to convert to open surgery on a case to case basis depending on the level of difficulty and expected complications. RESULTS One hundred patients had surgically proven gallbladder stones. In all patients, the prospective diagnosis of cholecystolithiasis was correctly made by ultrasound. Thus sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound with regard to cholelithiasis was 100%. 42 patients had ancillary sonographic findings indicating chronic cholecystitis beyond the presence of cholecystolithiasis including gallbladder wall thickness.

In other words, while ultrasound is 99.9% accurate in detecting the presence of gallstones it is not as accurate in detecting the number of gallstones. 5 Produced by The Berkeley Electronic Press, 2013

We used four ports in order to get a good view at the calot s triangle and for retraction.. Most of the time we had no serious complications. Perforation of the gallbladder happened intra operatively in 8 patients, 6 of them were iatrogenic (with hook spatula during dissection of the gallbladder from the liver bed) while 2 perforations occurred during extraction of the gallbladder from the epigastric port. It took us an additional 8-10 minutes to extract them all.six of the perforated gallbladders had normal gallbladder wall thickness and two were thick walled. No postoperative complications were recorded apart from the usual mild abdominal pain mostly at wound sites and occasional postoperative vomiting. A sub-hepatic tube drain was put only in two patients and was removed the next day. The duration of the laparoscopic ranged from minutes. Out of 100 patients with cholecystolithiasis on ultrasonography we encountered difficulties at laparoscopic preparation in 20, two of whom had normal gallbladder wall thickness while 18 had thick walled gallbladder. Gallstones varied in number in those cases. Preoperative ultrasound examination yielded 4 single and 16 multiple gallstones but direct postoperative inspection proved only 2 gallbladders to harbor a single gallstone and rest 18 contained multiple gallstones. We faced adhesions in all these difficult procedures and they were dense and not easy to separate from the gallbladder and nearby structures and therefore required time for safe dissection to free the operative field. Four gallbladders were perforated intra-operatively, two of which had normal gallbladder wall thickness while the other two were thick walled. No major postoperative complications were recorded apart from mild wound site pain and sometimes vomiting postoperatively. A sub hepatic drain was left in six patients and all removed within 24 hours.the duration of difficult laparoscopic ranged from minutes. The procedure was converted to open in 8 patients,four becausee of difficulty in assessing the anatomy of calot s triangle and four because of adhesions around the gallbladder that were too dense and consequently hazardous to be dissected laparoscopically. It was due to empyema of gallbladder where radiologist was not able to recognize it by preoperative ultrasound. 6

Consequently one of the patients with empyema gallbladder developed postoperative wound infection(after conversion to open ) and was latter treated conservatively and ended with incisional hernia.time taken to make the decision to convert from laparoscopic to open ranged from 35 to 55 minutes % 20.00% 20% 25% 15.00% 10.00% 11.10% Intraoperative Postoperative 5.00% 0% 0% 0% 0.00% laparoscopic difficult laparoscopic convert to open Fig (6) Complications in different type of operations 7 Produced by The Berkeley Electronic Press, 2013

We encountered such difficulties in 42 out of 100 with gall bladder wall thickness greater than 3mm because of the limits of laparoscopic instruments or visualization of the operative field that lead to conversion in four patients and hence comparison between the three groups of study (laparoscopic, difficult laparoscopic and conversion to open ) was statistically significant with p value less than 0.05 with difficult laparoscopic group carried highh percentage of thick wall gallbladder (more than 3mm) which was (90%).All histological examination of the removed gallbladders revealed chronic inflammation and no malignancy 6,,7,8.

Increased gallbladder wall thickness is not a good predictor of difficulties (PPV= 52% which is like a random guess) DISCUSSION Preoperative diagnostic procedures are designed to support the decision making process for adequate treatment of patients with gallstone disease 4,6. We assessed the value of ultrasound for patients with gallstone disease prior to laparoscopic. Certain information is required by surgeon to plan the appropriate procedure. The ones we considered included presence of common bile duct stones. Ultrasound is a valuable tool in detecting gallstones, consequently estimating patients surgical risks and suggesting whether further work up of the bile duct is required 10. This study corroborates the well established high accuracy of sonography for assessing the thickness of gallbladder 9. An important question is whether it is possible to assess local operability prospectively. In our study the conversion rate to open surgery 8% was within the range reported by several other studies (0.9-14%).A study by Fuchs et al founded that laparoscopy may be advantageous for patients who are difficult to operate on.although conversion to laparotomy alone does not worsen the patients outcome, several reasons support the advantage of preoperative assessment of the feasibility of laparoscopy 3. It is important to have some idea about the individual patients risk while obtaining informed consent. Identifying difficulties is especially important in specialized hospitals where open has become a rare procedure and requires the presence of a surgeon who is experienced in this particular approach 2, 7. Our findings suggest that patients with excessive gallbladder wall thickening and symptoms of cholecystolithiasis tend to impose technical difficulties during laparoscopic. In around 87% of the patients with 9 Produced by The Berkeley Electronic Press, 2013

12 10 World Journal of Colorectal Surgery Vol. 3, Iss. 3 [2013], Art. 6 gallbladder wall thickness (more than 3mm) surgeons encountered surgical difficulties. Gallbladder wall thickness can be assessed with a margin of error ranging from 1 to 1.5 mm. In healthy patients, 97% of individuals have a gallbladder wall thickness less than 2mm.In our study gallbladder wall thickness of more than 3mm was significantly associated with a difficult surgical procedure and the histopathologic report of chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation may also lead to bleeding that compromises orientation and the visual exposure at surgery forcing surgeons to abandon the laparoscopic access 3, 8. In patients with chronic inflammation, pericholecystic adhesions frequently impede the separation of gallbladder from its bed.in gallstone disease,the histopathologic substrate for sonographic thickening of the gallbladder is chronic cholecystic inflammation. Gallbladder wall thickening was a sensitive indicator of technical difficulties and the risk of conversion to open 2. However, gallbladder wall thickening may also result from other causes such as hypoalbuminemia, hepatitis, sclerosing cholangitis or AIDS cholangitis, adenomyomatosis, congestive heart failure, portal hypertension and tumours. Therefore, comorbid illnesses like ischemic heart disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, sickle cell anaemia, etc. were excluded from our study. CONCLUSION An accurate preoperative diagnostic tool is mandatory for planned laparoscopic gallbladder surgery to provide information for the selection of the most appropriate approach and to avoid intra operative difficulties and surprises.we think that sonography should play a central role in surgical planning for laparoscopic. In our study a checklist helped us to convey it to the surgeon. It appears that gallbladder wall thickening is not a good predictor of difficulties. However, further studies are needed to verify if increased number of gallstones is related to increased wall thickness and there by increased difficulty in surgery or could increase gallstones directly related to increased difficulty.
