The Use of Intravenous Nitroglycerin in a Case of Spasm of the Sphincter of Oddi during Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Abstract: Spasm of the sphincter of Oddi still occurs during cholecystectomy. Some reports indicate that the spasm, induced by morphine, can be reversed by injection of naloxone, nalbuphine, and glucagon. Others maintain that nitroglycerin or nifedipine can relax the sphincter of Oddi muscle. We recently encountered spasm of the sphincter of Oddi during a laparoscopic cholecystectomy and treated it successfully with intravenous nitroglycerin.

“…This can be achieved by using glucagon, an agent used to facilitate common bile duct stone removal during ERCP [36]. Intravenous nitroglycerin has also been used to relieve sphincter of Oddi spasm [37]. Calcium channel blockers and long-acting nitrates relax the sphincter and have been used for treatment of sphincter dyskinesia [38].…”

“…Increased release of vasopressin, catecholamines, or both are responsible for these hemodynamic responses [2,3,4]. Various drugs like nitroglycerine [5], beta blockers [6], opioids [7], gabapentin [8], pregabalin [9], magnesium sulphate [10], clonidine [11] and dexmedetomidine [12] are used to provide hemodynamic stability during pneumoperitoneum with variable success rate. Dexmedet-omidine inhibits the release of catecholamines and vasopressin, thus modulating the hemodynamic changes induced by pneumoperitoneum [12][13].…”

“…[4] In this method, CO 2 gas is blown into the abdominal cavity, causing both mechanical (increased intraocular pressure) [49] and neurohormonal changes (secretion of catecholamines and vasopressin). [6,10] An increase of >10 mm causes significant changes in the hemodynamics of the body, which can exhibit a decrease in cardiac output, an increase in systemic vessel resistance, and an increase in arterial pressure, as well as pulmonary pressure. [6,11] The heart rate can provide an unchanged level or with a brief increase.…”
