RESUMO
RATIONALE: Gossypiboma is a term that refers to the condition of accidentally retained surgical gauze after surgeries. While many manifestations and complications are possible in this case, the migration of the retained gauze into the gastric cavity is one of the rarest. In this paper, we report the largest migrated surgical towel to the gastric cavity in the literature, measuring 90â cmâ ×â 90â cm. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 33-year-old woman with recurrent epigastric pain unresponsive to treatment was referred to our hospital. She had undergone an open surgery cholecystectomy 11 years before admission during wartime in Syria. DIAGNOSES: Abdominal computed tomography with contrast showed a large mass in the stomach, indicating malignancy. However, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a gray-black foreign body occupying the entire gastric lumen, which indicated the presence of bezoar. Upon surgery, the final diagnosis of gastric gossypiboma was made; which was a retained surgical towel from the previous cholecystectomy that had fully migrated to the stomach and resembled both malignancy and bezoar upon investigation. INTERVENTIONS: The patient underwent open surgery to excise the foreign body. OUTCOMES: The gossypiboma was successfully removed, and the patient was discharged 5 days after the operation without complications. LESSONS: Retained surgical items, such as gossypiboma, can lead to significant medical complications. The migration of gossypiboma to the stomach, though rare, poses challenges in diagnosis and management, often requiring open surgical removal to prevent adverse outcomes. Early detection and intervention are crucial to avoiding associated morbidity and mortality. It is important to consider gossypiboma in patients with unexplained abdominal pain following surgery and to emphasize meticulous sponge counting to prevent this complication.

We present gallbladder rupture following trauma. A 9-year-old boy admitted in 1.5 hours after injury. Considering clinical and ultrasound data, we diagnosed traumatic damage to the spleen and hemoperitoneum, biliary dyskinesia, cholestasis, sludge. Hemostatic therapy was carried out. After 3 days, signs of peritonitis appeared. Follow-up ultrasound revealed gallbladder enlargement with heterogeneous content, fluid in all parts of abdominal cavity. Intraoperatively, the gallbladder was enveloped in omentum soaked in bile. After mobilization of the gallbladder, we found longitudinal linear tear up to 3 cm clogged with omentum. Cholecystectomy was performed. Thus, we present a patient with combined injury and damage to the spleen. However, gallbladder wall thickening and heterogeneous content were interpreted as concomitant pathology. Delayed manifestation of peritonitis was due to gallbladder enveloped in omentum. The last one soaked in bile partially entered the gallbladder through perforation and prevented bile leakage into abdominal cavity. Timely diagnosis of gallbladder damage presents certain difficulties, especially in case of combined injury. Ultrasound signs of traumatic gallbladder rupture in this case were wall thickening, heterogeneous content and gradual gallbladder enlargement. It is necessary to analyze all organs at the damage site including computed tomography in patients with combined trauma.

RATIONALE: Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) originating from neuroendocrine cells occur in the thyroid, respiratory, and digestive systems, with Gallbladder Neuroendocrine Carcinoma (GB-NEC) accounting for only 0.5% of all NENs and 2.1% of gallbladder cancers. Due to its rarity, little is known about GB-NEC's clinical presentation and treatment. PATIENT CONCERNS: We report a case of a 52-year-old male presenting with acute upper right abdominal pain, leading to further investigation. DIAGNOSES: Initial diagnostic workup, including abdominal ultrasound and contrast-enhanced CT, suggested gallbladder malignancy. Post-surgical pathology confirmed GB-NEC, with immunohistochemistry supporting the diagnosis. INTERVENTIONS: The patient underwent radical cholecystectomy, followed by etoposide plus cisplatin chemotherapy. After disease progression indicated by CT, the patient received additional cycles of chemotherapy with cisplatin and irinotecan, plus targeted therapy with anlotinib and immunotherapy with paimiplimab. OUTCOMES: The patient showed a partial response to initial treatment. Subsequent liver biopsy confirmed NEC, consistent with small cell carcinoma. With continued treatment, the patient maintains a good survival status. LESSONS: GB-NEC is associated with poor prognosis, emphasizing the importance of early detection and multimodal treatment strategies. Our case underlines the potential benefit of a comprehensive treatment plan, including aggressive surgery and chemotherapy, with further research needed to standardize treatment for this rare condition.

BACKGROUND: The recommended treatment for cholecystocholedocholithiasis is cholecystectomy (CCT) associated with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). CCT with intraoperative ERCP is associated with higher success rates and lower hospital stays and hospital costs. However, some case series do not describe the exact methodology used: whether ERCP or CCT was performed first. AIMS: Verify if there is a difference, in terms of outcomes and complications, when intraoperative ERCP is performed immediately before or after CCT. METHODS: This is a retrospective case-control study analyzing all patients who underwent CCT with intraoperative ERCP between January 2021 and June 2022, in a tertiary hospital in southern Brazil, for the treatment of cholecystocholedocholithiasis. RESULTS: Out of 37 patients analyzed, 16 (43.2%) underwent ERCP first, immediately followed by CCT. The overall success rate for the cannulation of the bile duct was 91.9%, and bile duct clearance was achieved in 75.7% of cases. The post-ERCP pancreatitis rate was 10.8%. When comparing the "ERCP First" and "CCT First" groups, there was no difference in technical difficulty for performing CCT. The "CCT First" group had a higher rate of success in bile duct cannulation (p=0.020, p<0.05). Younger ages, presence of stones in the distal common bile duct and shorter duration of the procedure were factors statistically associated with the success of the bile duct clearance. Lymphopenia and cholecystitis as an initial presentation, in turn, were associated with failure to clear the bile duct. CONCLUSIONS: There was no significant difference in terms of complications and success in clearing the bile ducts among patients undergoing CCT and ERCP in the same surgical/anesthetic procedure, regardless of which procedure was performed first. Lymphopenia and cholecystitis have been associated with failure to clear the bile duct.

Objectives: The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol in cholecystectomy, comparing it with standard care. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in December 2023, using globally recognized databases such as PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. Various parameters were compared using Review Manager software. This study was duly registered with PROSPERO (CRD420223). Results: The meta-analysis included nine studies, encompassing a total of 1920 patients. The findings revealed that the ERAS group, in comparison to traditional care, experienced shorter hospitalization periods (weighted mean difference [WMD]: -1.23, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -1.98 to -0.47; P = .001), lower visual analog scale at 24 hours (WMD: -1.10, 95% CI: -1.30 to -0.90; P < .00001), faster time to first flatus (WMD: -4.48, 95% CI: -4.50 to -4.46; P < .00001), and reduced operative times (WMD: -9.94, 95% CI: -17.88 to -0.96; P = .03). In addition, there was a notable decrease in instances of postoperative nausea and vomiting (odds ratio [OR]: 0.46, 95% CI: 0.28 to 0.74; P = .002). No significant differences were observed in readmission rates, blood loss, postoperative complications, or bile leakage between the two care methods. Conclusions: This study substantiates that the ERAS protocol is an advantageous perioperative care strategy for patients undergoing cholecystectomy. It significantly outperforms traditional care in reducing the length of stay, decreasing the likelihood of postoperative nausea/vomiting, alleviating postoperative pain, and accelerating the time to the first flatus. These findings highlight the effectiveness of ERAS in enhancing patient outcomes in cholecystectomy.

BACKGROUND: Gallbladder perforations are challenging to manage for surgeons due to their high morbidity and mortality, rarity, and surgical approach. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is now included with open cholecystectomy in surgical managing gallbladder perforations. This study aimed to evaluate the factors affecting conversion from laparoscopic to open cholecystectomy in cases of type I gallbladder perforation according to the Modified Niemeier classification. METHODS: Patients who met the inclusion criteria were divided into two groups: LC and conversion to open cholecystectomy (COC). Demographic, clinical, radiologic, intraoperative, and postoperative factors were compared between groups. RESULTS: This study included 42 patients who met the inclusion criteria, of which 28 were in the LC group and 14 were in the COC group. Their median age was 68 (55-85) years. Age did not differ significantly between groups (p = 0.218). However, the sex distribution did differ significantly between groups (p = 0.025). The location of the perforation differed significantly between groups (p < 0.001). In the LC group, 22 patients were perforated from the fundus, four from the trunk, and two from the neck. In the COC group, two patients were perforated from the fundus, four from the trunk, and eight from the neck. Surgical procedure times differed significantly between the LC (105.0 min [60-225]) and COC (125.0 min [110-180]) groups (p = 0.035). The age of the primary surgeons also differed significantly between the LC (42 years [34-63]) and COC (55 years [36-59]) groups (p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: LC can be safely performed for modified Niemeier type I gallbladder perforations. The proximity of the perforation site to Calot's triangle, Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), and Tokyo classification are factors affecting conversion from laparoscopic to open surgery of gallbladder perforations.

OBJECTIVE: To present initial experience with the first 100 cases of robotic-assisted surgery by the Department of General Surgery. STUDY DESIGN: Descriptive study. Place and Duration of the Study: Department of Surgery, National Hospital and Medical Centre, Lahore, Pakistan, from May 2022 to August 2023. METHODOLOGY: Demographic and postoperative details of the first 100 patients to undergo robotic-assisted surgery by the Department of General Surgery were reviewed. Prospective data were collected from the hospital information database as well as the CMR database. The data collected in the hospital database included the patients' age, diagnoses, genders, complications during hospital stay as well as 90-day readmission, morbidity, and mortality. Data collected by CMR via Versius robotic surgery console or internal databases included operative minutes using the console. RESULTS: The average age of patients undergoing robotic surgery was 44.26 ± 14.08 years. Cholecystectomy (78%) was the most commonly performed robotic-assisted procedure. Only one patient had blood loss of more than 100ml. There was no postoperative complication, readmission or mortality during the study period. CONCLUSION: With proper patient selection, robotic-assisted surgery is safe and feasible even in low- middle-income countries (LMICs). KEY WORDS: Robotic-assisted surgery, Pakistan, Initial experience, Outcomes, Versius.

<b><br>Introduction:</b> Increasing numbers of older patients will require laparoscopic cholecystectomies. Physicians may have doubts when qualifying these patients for elective surgeries since older age is considered a risk factor for complications. Determining biological age, using a Geriatric Assessment (GA), should be the key factor in the preoperative assessment.</br> <b><br>Aim:</b> The aim of this study was to determine which GA components and frailty alone are most useful for predicting postoperative outcomes in both short- and long-term follow-up.</br> <b><br>Materials and methods:</b> 219 consecutive patients aged ≥70 years underwent surgery and were followed up prospectively for 12 months. The preoperative GA consisted of functionality, physical activity, comorbidity, polypharmacotherapy, nutrition, cognition, mood, and social support domains. Logistic regression analyses were used to analyze the predictive ability of GA.</br> <b><br>Results:</b> GA, frailty, and chronological age were not predictive of major 30-day morbidity. There were significantly more overall postoperative complications in the frail group than in the fit group (21% vs 4%), with mainly minor (Clavien-Dindo I, II) and medical (16 patients; 72.7%) complications. There were no significant differences in the rate of major and surgical complications (8 patients; 36.4%) between frail and fit patients. Only frailty was a predictor of 1-year mortality odd ratio 12.17 (2.47-59.94) P = 0.002.</br> <b><br>Conclusions:</b> Performing GA before elective laparoscopic cholecystectomies seems unnecessary for the evaluation of short-term outcomes but helpful for the assessment of long-term outcomes. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be safely performed also in older frail patients.</br>.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the relationship between appendectomy and cognitive impairment in adults aged 50-70 years. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A case-control study was carried out with 270 patients between May and July 2023. Ninety cases (with cognitive impairment) and 180 controls (without impairment), diagnosed by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), were assessed. RESULTS: 31.11% of the total cases with cognitive impairment were submitted to an appendectomy, with an average of 25 years since surgery. Regarding other surgeries: 40% with impairment underwent cholecystectomy and 23.33% reported other operations. The analysis revealed significant differences in age, body mass index, hypertension, diabetes and smoking between the groups. However, there was no significant difference by gender. Logistic regression analysis highlighted that age and past appendectomy were strongly associated with cognitive impairment, with an Odds Ratio (OR) of 1.20 and 12.91, respectively. Associations were also found with cholecystectomy (OR 7.33), other surgeries (OR 13.39) and smoking (OR 6.91). CONCLUSION: Appendectomy might be a significant risk factor for cognitive impairment in adults aged 50-70 years.

BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted surgery has seen exponential adoption over the last decade. Although the safety and efficacy of robotic surgery in the elective setting have been demonstrated, data regarding robotic emergency general surgery remains sparse. METHODS: All adults undergoing non-elective appendectomy, cholecystectomy, small or large bowel resection, perforated ulcer repair, or lysis of adhesions were identified in the 2008 to 2020 National Inpatient Sample. Temporal trends were analyzed using a rank-based, non-parametric test developed by Cuzick (nptrend). Using laparoscopy as a reference, multivariable regressions were used to evaluate the association between robotic techniques and in-hospital mortality, major complications, and resource use for each emergency general surgery operation. RESULTS: Of an estimated 4,040,555 patients undergoing emergency general surgery, 65,853 (1.6%) were performed using robotic techniques. The robotic proportion of minimally invasive emergency general surgery increased significantly overall, with the largest growth seen in robot-assisted large bowel resections and perforated ulcer repairs. After adjustment for various patient and hospital-level factors, robot-assisted large bowel resection (adjusted odds ratio 0.73, 95% confidence interval 0.58-0.91) and cholecystectomy (adjusted odds ratio 0.66, 95% confidence interval 0.55-0.81) were associated with significantly reduced odds of perioperative blood transfusion compared to traditional laparoscopy. Although robotic techniques were associated with modest reductions in postoperative length of stay, costs were uniformly higher by increments of up to $4,900. CONCLUSION: Robotic surgery appears to be a safe and effective adjunct to laparoscopy in minimally invasive emergency general surgery, although comparable cost-effectiveness has yet to be realized. Increasing use of robotic techniques in emergency general surgery may be attributable in part to reduced complications, including blood loss, in certain operative contexts.

INTRODUCTION: Informed consent is essential in ensuring patients' understanding of their medical condition, treatment, and potential risks. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of utilizing a video consent compared to standard consent for patient knowledge and satisfaction in selected general surgical procedures. METHODS AND PROCEDURES: We included 118 patients undergoing appendectomy, cholecystectomy, inguinal hernia repair, and fundoplication at two hospitals in Omaha, NE. Patients were randomized to either a standard consent or a video consent. Outcomes included a pretest and posttest objective knowledge assessment of their procedure, as well as a satisfaction survey which was completed immediately after consent and following discharge. Given the pre-post design, a linear mixed-effect model was estimated for both outcomes. A two-way interaction effect was of primary interest to assess whether pre-to-post change in the outcome differed between patients randomized to standard or video consent. RESULTS: Baseline characteristics were mostly similar between groups except for patient sex, p = 0.041. Both groups showed a statistically significant increase in knowledge from pretest to posttest (standard group: 0.25, 95% CI 0.01 to 0.51, p = 0.048; video group: 0.68, 95% CI 0.36 to 1.00, p < 0.001), with the video group showing significantly greater change (interaction p = 0.043) indicating that incorporating a video into the consent process resulted in a better improvement in patient's knowledge of the proposed procedure. Further, both groups showed a decrease in satisfaction post-discharge, but no statistically significant difference in the magnitude of decrease between the groups (interaction p = 0.309). CONCLUSION: Video consent lead to a significant improvement in a patient's knowledge of the proposed treatment. Although the patient satisfaction survey didn't show a significant difference, it did show a trend. We propose incorporating videos into the consent process for routine general surgical procedures.

BACKGROUND: Dense inflammation obscuring the hepatocystic anatomy can hinder the ability to perform a safe standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy in severe cholecystitis, requiring use of a bailout procedure. We compared clinical outcomes of laparoscopic and open subtotal cholecystectomy against the traditional standard of open total cholecystectomy to identify the optimal bailout strategy for the difficult gallbladder. METHODS: A multicenter, multinational retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent bailout procedures for severe cholecystitis. Procedures were compared using one-way analysis of variance/Kruskal-Wallis tests and χ2 tests with multiple pairwise comparisons, maintaining a family-wise error rate at 0.05. Multiple multivariate linear/logistical regression models were created. RESULTS: In 11 centers, 727 bailout procedures were conducted: 317 laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomies, 172 open subtotal cholecystectomies, and 238 open cholecystectomies. Baseline characteristics were similar among subgroups. Bile leak was common in laparoscopic and open fenestrating subtotal cholecystectomies, with increased intraoperative drain placements and postoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(P < .05). In contrast, intraoperative bleeding (odds ratio = 3.71 [1.9, 7.22]), surgical site infection (odds ratio = 2.41 [1.09, 5.3]), intensive care unit admission (odds ratio = 2.65 [1.51, 4.63]), and length of stay (Δ = 2 days, P < .001) were higher in open procedures. Reoperation rates were higher for open reconstituting subtotal cholecystectomies (odds ratio = 3.43 [1.03, 11.44]) than other subtypes. The overall rate of bile duct injury was 1.1% and was not statistically different between groups. Laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy had a bile duct injury rate of 0.63%. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy is a feasible surgical bailout procedure in cases of severe cholecystitis where standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy may carry undue risk of bile duct injury. Open cholecystectomy remains a reasonable option.

Cholecystectomy-related iatrogenic biliary injuries cause intricate postoperative complications that can significantly affect a patient's life, often leading to chronic liver disease and biliary stenosis. These patients require a multidisciplinary approach with intervention from radiologists, endoscopists and surgeons experienced in hepatobiliary reconstruction. Symptoms vary from none to jaundice, pruritus and ascending cholangitis. The best strategy for the management of biliary stricture is based on optimal preoperative planning. Our patient presented 1 year after an iatrogenic lesion was induced during a cholecystectomy, and was managed with a complex common bile duct reconstruction through a Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy. The three-dimensional (3D) model reconstruction of the biliary tract was pivotal in the planning of the patient's surgery, providing additional preoperative and intraoperative assistance throughout the procedure. The 3D model's description of detailed spatial relations between the bile duct and the vascular structure in the liver hilum enabled a correct surgical dissection and safe execution of the anastomosis.

Over the past 2 decades, the use and importance of robotic surgery in minimally invasive surgery has increased. Across various surgical specialties, robotic technology has gained popularity through its use of 3D visualization, optimal ergonomic positioning, and precise instrument manipulation. This growing interest has also been seen in acute care surgery, where laparoscopic procedures are used more frequently. Despite the growing popularity of robotic surgery in the acute care surgical realm, there is very little research on the utility of robotics regarding its effects on health outcomes and cost-effectiveness. The current literature indicates some value in utilizing robotic technology in specific urgent procedures, such as cholecystectomies and incarcerated hernia repairs; however, the high cost of robotic surgery was found to be a potential barrier to its widespread use in acute care surgery. This narrative literature review aims to determine the cost-effectiveness of robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) in surgical procedures that are often done in urgent settings: cholecystectomies, inguinal hernia repair, ventral hernia repair, and appendectomies.

BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the current standard of treatment for surgical gallbladder removal as it has an overall improved post-operative recovery compared to Open Cholecystectomy (OC). This has resulted in the loss of exposure to surgical trainees and the associated technical skills and decision-making required to convert to OC. The aim of this study is to provide construct validity to the proposition that cadaveric simulation can be used successfully to teach and learn open cholecystectomy. METHODS: Participants (n = 25) were surveyed on a 9-point questionnaire using a 5-point Likert scale to determine their opinion on cadaveric simulation as a tool for teaching OC. RESULTS: Overall respondents deemed the tool as highly translatable. There was no significant correlation in the responses between candidates versus tutors (P = 0.05, r = 0.51). CONCLUSIONS: The outcome of the survey revealed that participants agreed that cadaveric simulation is a positive learning tool to aid in OC.

BACKGROUND: With the aging of the global population, the incidence rate of acute cholecystitis is increasing. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is considered as the first choice to treat acute cholecystitis. How to effectively avoid serious intraoperative complications such as bile duct and blood vessel injury is still a difficult problem that puzzles surgeons. This paper introduces the application of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, a new surgical concept, in acute difficult cholecystitis. METHODS: This retrospective analysis was carried out from January 2019 to January 2021. A total of 36 patients with acute difficult cholecystitis underwent 3-step laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The general information, clinical features, surgical methods, surgical results, and postoperative complications of the patients were analyzed. RESULTS: All patients successfully completed the surgery, one of them was converted to laparotomy, and the other 35 cases were treated with 3-step laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Postoperative bile leakage occurred in 2 cases (5.56%), secondary choledocholithiasis in 1 case (2.78%), and hepatic effusion in 1 case (2.78%). No postoperative bleeding, septal infection, and other complications occurred, and no postoperative colon injury, gastroduodenal injury, liver injury, bile duct injury, vascular injury, and other surgery-related complications occurred. All 36 patients were discharged from hospital after successful recovery. No one died 30 days after surgery, and there was no abnormality in outpatient follow-up for 3 months after surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Three-step laparoscopic cholecystectomy seems to be safer and more feasible for acute difficult cholecystitis patients. Compared with traditional laparoscopic cholecystectomy or partial cholecystectomy, 3-step laparoscopic cholecystectomy has the advantages of safe surgery and less complications, which is worth trying by clinicians.

Objectives: We present our initial clinical experience applying Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgical (NOTES) technique to perform cholecystectomy in ten patients at a military institution. Methods: A posterior colpotomy was created to accommodate a single site working port used to facilitate dissection and gallbladder mobilization under direct visualization via an infraumbilical port. The specimen was retrieved through the vagina and the colpotomy was closed with absorbable suture under direct visualization. Long-term follow up was performed over the phone to assess quality of life with 2 widely used health-related quality of life (HRQoL) surveys including RAND-36 Health Item Survey (Version 1.0),1 and the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI).2. Results: Ten women underwent a laparoscopic-assisted transvaginal cholecystectomy (TVC) with 7 available for long-term follow-up. The average age was 28.9 years (20-37) and the indications for surgery included symptomatic cholelithiasis (9) and biliary dyskinesia (1). The mean operative time was 129 mins (95-180), and median blood loss was 34 ml (5-400). There were no conversions and the average length of stay was 9.98 hours (2.4-28.8). Pain (analogue scale 1-10) on postoperative day three was minimal (mean 2.3) and was limited to the infraumbilical incision. On average patients returned to work by postoperative day six and resumed normal daily activities at seven days. Immediate postoperative complications included one incident of postoperative urinary retention requiring bladder catheterization. One intra-operative cholangiogram was successfully performed due to elevated preoperative liver enzymes without significant findings. Long-term complications included one asymptomatic incisional hernia repair at the infraumbilical port site. The RAND-36 survey demonstrated an average physical and mental health summary score of 82.2 and 63.7 with an average general health score of 63.6. The average FSFI total score was 21.8. Conclusion: TVC is safe and effective. Implementation may improve operational readiness by returning service members to normal activities more expeditiously than conventional laparoscopy.
