Complete gallbladder and cystic pedicle torsion Laparoscopic diagnosis and treatment

Abstract

Syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) after cardiac surgery and traditional open abdominal surgery has been reported. This disorder also has been associated with minor operative procedures with the patient under local anesthesia. However, SIADH after laparoscopic surgery is not well documented in the literature. We report a case of SIADH after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair in an elderly woman.

Acute torsion of the gallbladder: a case report

“…Both open and laparoscopic techniques are available for the cholecystectomy. Laparoscopic detorsion and cholecystectomy offers advantages of the minimally invasive surgery [9]. Clinical signs and radiographic studies may be helpful to diagnose of gallbladder torsion.…”

Diagnosis and Treatment of Gallbladder Torsion in a 6 Year Old

“…1,2,3 The youngest reported patient was 2 y old, with the peak incidence in the pediatric population occurring between the ages of 6 and 13 y with a 4:1 male-to-female preponderance. 4 Specific clinical signs or symptoms are typically absent, and laboratory data may reveal nonspecific inflammatory changes.…”

Diagnosis and Laparoscopic Approach to Gallbladder Torsion and Cholelithiasis

“…The principles of this procedure are decompression, derotation, and cholecystectomy with or without transurgical cholangiogram. 20,26,27 The use of percutaneous drainage is only recommended when the surgical procedure could represent a high risk to the patient. 28 According to Short and Paul, 29 the preoperative diagnosis of gallbladder torsion is possible when some signs like acute pain and vomiting in an elderly female and the rapid appearance of a palpable and enlarged gallbladder are present.…”
