Bile duct injuries after cholecystectomy, analysis of constant risk.

BACKGROUNDS/AIMS: The bile duct injuries are the most severe complications that occur after the surgical manipulation of the bile duct. The hepaticojejunostomy remained as the best treatment. Several factors identified that affect the result. This study aimed to analyze and identify risk factors that affected the evolution of these patients. METHODS: A retrospective, observational study was conducted from February 1998 to June 2017. We included all patients with bile duct injuries who required surgical treatment. RESULTS: We found 79 patients. The majority had a Bismuth type III in 35.4% (n=28). The morbidity of the Hepaticojejunostomy was 19% (n=15). In short-term follow-up, the main complications were cholangitis 11.4% (n=9) and bile leak 10% (n=8). In the long-term follow-up, in 2.5% (n=2) stricture was presented. On the comparison between postoperative and preoperative parameters, biliary peritonitis after a cholecystectomy (p=0.02) was an independent predictor of postoperative morbidity (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: In the treatment of bile duct injuries, different factors affect their outcomes. Our results show that infectious complications continue to affect the results of the treatment of bile duct lesions.

Cirugía pancreatobiliar laparoscópica: experiencia inicial en el hospital regional de alta especialidad.

BACKGROUND: At present benign and malignant pancreatobiliar diseases, required a multidisciplinary management, and the different techniques to solve this pathology has been improve with new technology and surgeons training. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this article is to describe that de minimally invasive surgery on benign and malignant pancreatobiliar diseases is feasible and offer good results. METHOD: In Hospital regional ISSSTE Puebla from July 2013 to July 2018, 30 consecutive patients with different pancreas and biliary pathologies have been operated by totally laparoscopic, by the same surgeon and surgical team, and following for up to 4 years. RESULTS: None all the patients presented sever complications during surgery or after immediate surgery and no reoperations. Surgical time and blood loss was acceptable. CONCLUSION: The results we obtained are positive and encouraging because the morbidity and mortality are similar to the different sources we reviewed, nevertheless, this study is our initial experience and we required more cases to obtain a significant sample.

ANTECEDENTES: En la actualidad las enfermedades benignas y malignas de las vías biliares y del páncreas requieren un manejo multidisciplinario, y las técnicas para resolver este tipo de padecimientos han avanzado gracias al mejoramiento en la tecnología y la capacidad del personal humano. OBJETIVO: El propósito de este trabajo es presentar varios casos y demostrar que la cirugía de mínima invasión en patología benigna y maligna pancreatobiliar es viable y se pueden obtener adecuados resultados. MÉTODO: De julio de 2013 a julio de 2018, 30 pacientes consecutivos han sido intervenidos quirúrgicamente por vía laparoscópica por diversas enfermedades que involucran páncreas y vías biliares, por el mismo cirujano y equipo quirúrgico, con un seguimiento de hasta 4 años. RESULTADOS: Ninguno de los pacientes intervenidos presentó complicaciones graves en el transoperatorio ni en el posquirúrgico inmediato, ninguno fue sometido a una segunda cirugía y los tiempos quirúrgicos y el sangrado fueron aceptables. CONCLUSIÓN: Los resultados son positivos y muy alentadores, ya que la morbilidad fue muy similar a la de las series que se revisaron; sin embargo, este estudio es nuestra experiencia inicial y requerimos aumentar el número de casos para obtener una muestra significativa.

Retroperitoneal fibrosis associated with immunoglobulin IgG4-related disease in the differential diagnosis in retroperitoneal tumors. Case report. / Fibrosis retroperitoneal nodular asociada a IgG4 como diagnóstico diferencial en tumores retroperitoneales. Reporte de un caso.

The patient was a 55-year-old woman with a 4-month history of pain in left flank that irradiated to the lumbar region. Computed tomography revealed a cystic tumor in the retroperitoneal region that compresses the ureter and left renal pelvis in contact with pancreatic body and tail. Surgery was performed and the definitive pathological report diagnosed nodular retroperitoneal fibrosis associated with IgG4; Ki67-positive in germinal centers (5%) and IgG4-positive (40 plasma cells in 3 fields of 40x) by immunohistochemistry. Retroperitoneal fibrosis is a rare disease, that develops gradually and has an excellent response to steroid management. Surgical treatment is reserved for cases that compromise adjacent structures. Thus, identifying it when studying a retroperitoneal tumor leads to better prognosis and survival.

[Totally laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy. First case reported in México]. / Pancreatoduodenectomía totalmente laparoscópica. Primer caso reportado en México.

BACKGROUND: Approximately 48,960 people in the USA will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2015 and 40,560 will die for this reason; in Mexico, the new cases of pancreatic cancer in 2012 were 4,274, with 4,133 deaths; survival rate at 5 years goes from 1% to15%. Less than 20% of cases were considered resectable at the time of diagnosis. The Whipple procedure is currently the only curative treatment option for periampullary cancers since the first communication by Whipple in 1935, and up until now is a common procedure in several reference centres around the world. In 1994, Gagner reported the first totally laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy. Some groups have currently demonstrated the safety and efficacy of this technique. OBJECTIVE: To report our initial experience with totally laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy in the Hospital General de México. CLINICAL CASE: The case concerns a 58 year-old women with jaundice and loss of weight of 3 months onset. Her biopsy reported adenocarcinoma of Váter's ampulla, and as it was considered resectable, she underwent a laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy. CONCLUSIONS: This procedure must be performed in centres with experience in open pancreatic surgery and training in advanced laparoscopic surgery. The main advantages are lower blood loss and shorter hospital stay.

Fibrosis retroperitoneal nodular asociada a IgG4 como diagnóstico diferencial en tumores retroperitoneales. Reporte de un caso / Retroperitoneal fibrosis associated with immunoglobulin IgG4-related disease in the differential diagnosis in retroperitoneal tumors. Case report

Paciente de 55 años de edad con cuadro de dolor en flanco izquierdo irradiado a región lumbar de 4 meses de evolución, con tomografía axial computarizada que reporta tumoración quística en región retroperitoneal que comprime uréter y sistema pielocaliceal izquierdo en contacto con cuerpo y cola de páncreas. Es intervenida quirúrgicamente y se encuentra en reporte patológico definitivo fibrosis retroperitoneal nodular asociada a IgG4; con Ki67 positivo en centros germinales (5%) e IgG4 positivo (40 células plasmáticas en 3 campos de 40x) por inmunohistoquímica. La fibrosis retroperitoneal nodular es una enfermedad poco frecuente, de evolución paulatina con excelente respuesta al manejo con esteroides. El tratamiento quirúrgico se reserva para casos que comprometen estructuras adyacentes, por lo que el identificarlo al estudiar una tumoración retroperitoneal conlleva un mejor pronóstico y sobrevida
