Introduction: Significant increase in plasma leakage is characteristic of severe dengue. This results collection fluid serous cavities. Gall bladder wall thickening (GBWT) often precedes the development pleural effusion and ascites. Early detection management shown to reduce mortality dengue illness. Ultrasonography a point care investigation identify GBWT. The aim this study was determine cut-...

BACKGROUND/AIMS The objective of our study was to identify useful computed tomography (CT) findings for differentiating fundal type adenomyomatosis from localized chronic cholecystitis involving the fundus of the gallbladder. METHODS We retrospectively identified cases of 41 patients with pathologically proven adenomyomatosis (n=21) or chronic cholecystitis (n=20) who had fundal thickening of...

Background: Identifying risk factors for conversion to open surgery laparoscopic cholecystectomy and factors are difficult to predict cholecystectomy surgery is required. The aim of this study was to evaluate the findings of preoperative ultrasound in predicting the length of laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery. Methods: The present study was performed cross-sectional on 122 patients who unde...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the clinical, pathological, and sonographic characteristics of unexpected gallbladder carcinoma (UGC). METHODS Of 5424 patients who had undergone cholecystectomy from December 2006 to October 2013, 54 patients with primary gallbladder carcinomas confirmed by pathological diagnosis were identified. The patients were divided into two groups: diagnosed before operation ...

Introduction: Adenomyomatosis of the gallbladder (AGB) is a relatively common disease. AGB is defined as epithelial proliferation and hypertrophy of the muscularis of the gallbladder with outpouching of the mucosa into the thickened muscular layer ( RAS; Rokitansky-Aschoff sinus). It is known that AGB is classified into three different morphological types including diffuse , segmental, and fund...

BACKGROUND Emphysematous cholecystitis is a rare condition caused by ischemia of the gallbladder wall with secondary gas-producing bacterial proliferation. The pathophysiology and epidemiology of this condition differ from that in gallstone-related acute cholecystitis. This report illustrates a case of emphysematous cholecystitis successfully treated by laparoscopic surgery. METHODS An 83-yea...

AIM The aim of this study was to prospectively assess the outcome of early laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in patients with acute cholecystitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between July 2005 and December 2012, of 623 patients who had symptoms of acute cholecystitis during the first 72 h of hospital admission and who did not respond to non-operative treatment, 302 underwent surgical treatment. Aft...
