BILE DUCTS

Right Hepatic Left Hepatic


Duct Duct
VARIATIONS OF THE CYSTIC DUCT
ANATOMY
PHYSIOLOGY

• The liver produces bile continuously


and excretes it into the bile canaliculi.
• 500 to 1000 mL of bile a day
• Vagal stimulation: increases
secretion of bile
• Splanchnic nerve stimulation:
results in decreased bile flow
BILE COMPOSITION

• Water
• pH of hepatic bile is
• Electrolytes usually neutral or
• bile salts slightly alkaline
• Proteins • an increase in
• Lipids protein shifts the bile
to a more acidic pH
• bile pigments
BILE COMPOSITION

• Cholesterol and phospholipids –


principal lipids found in bile

• Bilirubin diglucuronide – metabolic


product from the breakdown of
hemoglobin
Primary bile
salts

Secondary bile
salts
GALLBLADDER FUNCTION

• Concentrate and store hepatic bile


• to deliver bile into the duodenum in
response to a meal
Neurohormonal Regulation

Vagus nerve
bile secretion

Splanchnic nerve
bile secretion
Neurohormonal Regulation

Cholecystokinin:
- Gallbladder contraction
- Sphincter of Oddi relaxation

Vasoactive intestinal peptide


Somatostatin
- Inhibits Gallbladder contraction
GALLSTONE DISEASE

• one of the most common problems affecting


the digestive tract
• prevalence of gallstones from 11% to 36%
• Risk factors: age, gender, and ethnic
background
• Women: 3x more likely to develop gallstones
than men
• First-degree relatives of patients with
gallstones: twofold greater prevalence
GALLSTONE DISEASE

• Most patients will remain asymptomatic from their gallstones


throughout life.
• Some patients progress to a symptomatic stage, with biliary colic
caused by a stone obstructing the cystic duct

• acute cholecystitis
• choledocholithiasis with or without cholangitis
• gallstone pancreatitis
• cholecystocholedochal fistula
• cholecystoduodenal or cholecystoenteric fistula leading to gallstone
ileus,
• gallbladder carcinoma
CHOLESTEROL STONES

• Pure cholesterol stones: uncommon and account for <10% of


all stones
• Occur as single large stones with smooth surfaces
• >70% cholesterol by weight
• whitish yellow and green to black
• most are radiolucent; <10% are radiopaque
• supersaturation of bile with cholesterol
PIGMENT STONES

• <20% cholesterol
• dark because of the presence of
calcium bilirubinate
PIGMENT STONES

• Black pigment stones


• usually small, brittle, black, and sometimes
spiculated
• supersaturation of calcium bilirubinate,
carbonate, and phosphate, most often
secondary to hemolytic disorders such as
hereditary spherocytosis and sickle cell
disease, and in those with cirrhosis.
• Asian countries such as Japan
PIGMENT STONES

• Brown pigment stones


• usually <1 cm in diameter, brownish- yellow,
soft, and often mushy
• form either in the gallbladder or in the bile
ducts,
usually secondary to bacterial infection
caused by
bile stasis.
• Precipitated calcium bilirubinate and bacterial
cell bodies compose the major part of the
ACUTE CHOLECYSTITIS

• secondary to gallstones in
90% to 95% of cases
• Obstruction of the cystic
duct by a gallstone is the
initiating event
• leads to gallbladder
distention, inflammation,
and edema of the
gallbladder wall
ACUTE CHOLECYSTITIS

• gallbladder wall becomes grossly


thickened and reddish with
subserosal hemorrhages
• Pericholecystic fluid often is
present
• the mucosa may show
hyperemia and patchy necrosis
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS

• Begins as an attack of biliary colic but does not


subside
• Pain in RUQ or epigastrium
• Fever, anorexia, nausea, vomiting
• PE: focal tenderness and guarding in the RUQ,
(+) Murphy’s sign
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS

• Mild to mod leukocytosis (12,000-


15,000cells/mm3)
• Mild elevation of serum bilirubin (<4
mg/mL)
• Mild elevation of alkaline phosphatase,
transaminases, and amylase
EMPHYSEMATOUS CHOLECYSTITIS

• Thought to begin with acute cholecystitis (calculous or


acalculous) followed by ischemia or gangrene of the
gallbladder wall and infection by gas-producing
organisms.
• C. welchii or C. perfringens, E. coli
• Elderly men and in patients with DM
• Dx:
• plain abdominal film: gas within gallbladder lumen
• Dissecting within the gallbladder wall to form gaseous ring
• Pericholecystic tissues
DIAGNOSTICS

• Ultrasonography
• Biliary radionuclide scanning (HIDA
scan)
• CT scan
TREATMENT

• IV fluids, antibiotics and analgesia


• Antibiotics should cover gram-negative
aerobes as well as anaerobes
• Cholecystectomy- definitive treatment
• Laparoscopic cholecystectomy-
procedure of choice
TREATMENT

• Cholecystectomy – definitive treatment


• Laparoscopic cholecystectomy –
procedure of choice
TOKYO GUIDELINES 2018

• Diagnostic criteria and severity grading


of acute cholecystitis
ANTIMICROBIAL THERAPY FOR
ACUTE CHOLECYSTITIS

• limit both the systemic septic


response and local inflammation
• to prevent surgical site infections in
the superficial wound, fascia, or
organ space
• to prevent intrahepatic abscess
formation
