Work type:  OPERATIVE REPORT

PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS:

Acute abdomen.

POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS:

Acute cholecystitis with gangrene

PROCEDURE:

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

INDICATION:

Mr. ____ is a 72-year-old gentleman with an acute abdomen.  The plan was to take him to surgery for laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

A consent was signed by the wife.

He was taken to the operating room and placed supine on the operating table.  After general anesthesia, the abdomen was prepped and draped in the standard surgical fashion.  A timeout was done.

A 15 blade was used to make a 1 cm infraumbilical incision.  The open Hassan technique was used to gain entrance into the abdominal cavity.  He had extensive adhesions from prior operations.

Using the laparoscopic scissor with Bovie, I was able to take down the adhesions.  The process lasted about one hour.  Most of the adhesions taken down were in the middle aspect of the abdomen.

Prior to taking down the adhesions, I did place my laparoscopic ports.  A 12 mm trocar was placed in the subxiphoid region and two 5 mm trocars were placed in the right upper quadrant.

With the adhesions taken down I now focused on the gallbladder.

He was placed in reverse Trendelenburg with the left side down.

The fundus was lifted cephalad above the liver.  The infundibulum was retracted inferiorly laterally.

Hook cautery was used to peel the peritoneum from the gallbladder.  Using the hook cautery and a Maryland dissector, the cystic duct and cystic artery was identified.  I had a good critical view.

Two clips were placed at the proximal aspect of the cystic duct and cystic artery and one clip was placed at the distal aspect of the cystic duct and cystic artery.  Scissor was used to come across the cystic duct and cystic artery.  Bovie cautery was used to peel off the gallbladder from the gallbladder bed.  It was placed in a specimen bag and removed from the patient and sent off to pathology.

The hook cautery was then used to provide adequate hemostasis to the gallbladder bed.  There was no evidence of bleeding.  All of the clips were well placed.

There was also no evidence of bleeding from the prior lysis of adhesions.

All trocars were removed under direct vision.  The fascia of the 1 cm incision was closed with 0 Vicryl.  Four-0 Monocryl was then used to close the skin incisions.  A total of 30 mL of 0.25% Marcaine with epinephrine was used to provide a local block.  Dermabond was then applied.

He tolerated the procedure well.
