🔴Gallstones (Cholelithiasis) & Cholysystitis

▪️Gallstones Are Most Common Biliary Pathology (Affect 10-15% Of Population)

▪️Cholecystitis is Acute Or Chronic
Inflammation Of Gallbladder (Mostly Due To Presence Of Gallstones)

▪︎Cholysystitis is The 2nd Most Common Non-Obstetric Indication For Surgery in Pregnant Women (After Appendicitis)

🔹Risk Factors For Gallstones Formation (Fat/Fertile/Female/Forty)
1. Obesity & High Calorie Intake (Increase Cholesterol & Concentrate The Bile)

2. Terminal Ileum Resection (Diminished EnteroHepatic Circulation)

3. Drugs (Oral Contraceptives/Estrogen/CloFibrate/Cholestyramine/DeoxyCholate)

4. Abnormal Emptying Of Gallbladder 

5. Female Gender & Pregnancy (MultiParity)

6. Liver Diseases & DM

7. Rapid Weight Loss

8. Risk Factors For Pigmented Stones ➡️ Blood Hemolysis/Biliary Stasis (Obstruction & Infection)/Liver Cirrhosis

9. Old Age

10. Long Term Parenteral Nutrition


🔹Clinical Features Of Gallstones
📍1. Most Gallstones Asymptomatic (>80%)

📍2. Acute Cholecystitis
▪︎Start As Mild To Moderate Episodes Of Right Upper Quadrant Or Epigastric Pain
▪️Dull Or Colicky in Nature

▪️Radiate To Back Or Right Shoulder

▪️Intermittent Episodes (Comes & Go During The Day) & Constant in Severity

▪️Aggravated Or Induced By Eating Fatty Meals


📍3. Biliary Colic (10-25%)

3. Obstructive Jaundice (CBD Stones Or Mirizzi Syndrome)

4. Acute Pancreatitis

5. Gallbladder Perforation & Peritonitis

6. Acute Cholangitis

7. Empyema Of Gallbladder (Pus Accumulation)

8. MucoCele Of Gallbladder (Fluid Accumulation)

9. Bowel Obstruction (Gallstone Ileus)


🔶B. Postoperative (After CholecysteCtomy)
1. Bile Ducts Injury ➡️ Present As Postoperative Obstructive Jaundice

2. Post-CholecysteCtomy Syndrome ➡️ Postoperative Continuation Of The Symptoms Due To Residual Stones in The Biliary Tree

3. Post-CholecysteCtomy Choledocholithiasis ➡️ Development Of New Stones in Bile Ducts Many Years After Cholecystectomy Which Then Leads To Obstruction Or Cholangitis

4. Bile Leakage & Peritonitis (Clips Dislodgment)

5. Biliary Strictures

6. Visceral Or Vessels Injury & Haemorrhage

7. Abdominal Abscess

⚠️ Analgesics is contraindicated  if appendicitis is suspected  to avoid mask of diagnosis.

🔵 The main symptom of appendicitis is "abdominal pain" but the first symptom to appear is  "  Anorexia ".

⚠️ How We can differentiate between acute appendicitis and gastroenteritis clinically ❗️

Simply If abdominal  pain precedes  vomiting it indicates acute appendicitis, but if vomiting precedes abdominal  pain  it indicates AGE.


⚠️ يمنع استخدام المسكنات في حالة الاشتباه بالتهاب الزائدة الدودية لتجنب إخفاء التشخيص.

🔵 العرض الرئيسي لالتهاب الزائدة الدودية هو "آلم في البطن" لكن أول الأعراض ظهوراً هو "فقدان الشهية ".

⚠️ كيف يمكننا  التفريق بين التهاب الزائدة الدودية الحاد والتهاب المعدة والأمعاء سريريا❗️

ببساطة إذا سبق ألم البطن القيء فهذا يدل على التهاب الزائدة الدودية الحاد، أما إذا سبق القيء ألم البطن فهو يشير إلى التهاب المعدة والأمعاء.
