RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: With severely inflamed gallbladders, laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be difficult and may require procedures like subtotal cholecystectomy (SC). Few studies exist comparing SC and total cholecystectomy (TC) in the setting of severe biliary inflammation. This meta-analysis aims to compare SC and TC for difficult gallbladders. METHODS: Medline-OVID, Embase-OVID, and Cinahl were searched including only studies comparing SC to TC for difficult gallbladders. Primary outcome was CBD injury. Secondary outcomes included bile leak, duodenal injury, retained stone, bleeding, intraabdominal collection, wound infection, reoperation, and mortality. RESULTS: Ten studies were included. Compared to TC, SC significantly lowered the risk for CBD injury (0 â% vs. 1.6 â%, RR 0.30, 95%CI 0.10-0.87) but increased risk of bile leaks (RR 3.5, 95%CI 1.79-6.84), postoperative ERCP (RR 2.86, 95%CI 1.53-5.35), intraabdominal collections (RR 2.55, 95%CI 1.32-4.93), and reoperation (RR 2.92, 95%CI 1.14-7.47). CONCLUSION: SC is a reasonable alternative to difficult gallbladders that may decrease the risk of CBD injuries. Knowing both approaches is crucial to manage the difficult gallbladder while minimizing harm. Further studies are needed to understand the value of SC for difficult cholecystectomy.

OBJECTIVE: To examine trends in fireworks-related injuries (FRI) before and after enactment of an ordinance to limit access in the City and County of Honolulu (the island of Oahu). METHODS: Surveillance of FRI treated in all emergency departments in the state, for 18 new year's periods (31 December through 1 January) from 2004 to 2021. Prelaw (2004 to 2011) and postlaw (2012 to 2021) number of FRI were compared, by patient age and county. RESULTS: The average annual number of FRI for all ages decreased significantly in Oahu, from 74 during the prelaw period to 27 during the postlaw period (p<0.01), but not in the remaining neighbour islands (p=0.07). Decreases were particularly evident for Oahu paediatric patients (under 18 years), among whom FRI declined from 42 to 10 per year (p<0.01). FRI were approximately halved for older Oahu patients and neighbour island paediatric patients. CONCLUSIONS: Legislation requiring permits for a specified number and type of fireworks, and limiting access to persons 18 years and older was associated with significant decreases in FRI in the City and County of Honolulu.
