    A Rare Case: Primary Mucinous Cystic Neoplasm Of The Gallbladder
    (2021) Tasci, Halil Ibrahim; Erinanc, Ozgur Hilal; Turk, Emin; Karagulle, Erdal
    Cystic lesions originating from the gallbladder are very rare. Mucinous cystic neoplasms of the liver and biliary system principally occur in the liver, followed by the extrahepatic biliary system. Only a few case reports were reported primarily in the gallbladder. A 63-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with complaints of pain in the right upper abdomen, increasing after meals, and abdominal discomfort. A laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed. Macroscopically, the cyst was localized in the serosa of the fundus. Based on immunohistochemical examination, the cyst was diagnosed as primary mucinous cystic neoplasia of the gallbladder. Although it is very rare, mucinous cystic neoplasia should be kept in mind when dealing with cystic lesions of the gallbladder. Due to serious associated problems such as the risk of malignant transformation or bile duct obstruction, particularly in larger cysts, a cholecystectomy is mandatory.

    CAN CHOLECYSTECTOMY BE PERFORMED AS SAFELY IN ELDERLY PATIENTS AS IT IS IN YOUNG PATIENTS?
    (2020) Arslan, Baha; Yilmaz, Tugbahan; Erol, Varlik; Tuncali, Bahattin; Gulay, Huseyin; 0000-0002-9590-0276; 0000-0002-7898-2943; 0000-0002-0442-6178; 0000-0003-4461-4904; AAJ-6354-2021; AAJ-7840-2021; AAJ-6407-2021; AAD-6127-2021
    Introduction: In this study, we aimed to compare the surgical outcomes between elderly and young patients undergoing surgery for gallstone disease and determine variations in patient characteristics, if any. Materials and Method: Data of patients who underwent surgery for gallstone disease at a single center between 2010 and 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. Two patient groups were evaluated: patients <65 years and >= 65 years. Patient characteristics, preoperative outpatient clinic data, surgical data, and postoperative data were collected. Results: In total, 1,198 patients with a mean age of 54.77 +/- 15.03 (15-91) years were assessed. Comorbid conditions, including cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease, renal disease, and diabetes mellitus were significantly more common in elderly patients (p<0.001). Acute cholecystitis in the preoperative period was noted in 15.36% of young patients and in 30.4% of elderly patients (p<0.001). Need for emergency surgery was higher in elderly patients than in young patients [13.86% (47) and 9.31% (80), respectively] (p=0.021). Laparoscopic cholecystectomy and open cholecystectomy were performed in 98.37% and 1.04% of young patients, respectively, and in 92.62% and 3.53% of elderly patients, respectively (p<0.001). Among factors affecting the length of hospital stay in elderly patients, the duration of hospitalization was significantly longer in elderly patients who underwent emergency surgery, open surgery, needed additional surgery, and who had high American Society of Anesthesiologists scores (p<0.001, p<0.001, p=0.013, p<0.001, respectively). Conclusion: Complications rates associated with cholecystectomy are similar between young and elderly patients when appropriate surgical preparations are performed. Surgery for gallstone disease can be performed safely in elderly patients with low morbidity and mortality rates.

    Incidental Gallbladder Cancer Diagnosed During Or After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy, What Did We Do?
    (2020) Sapmaz, Ali; Guldogan, Can Emir; Yagiz, Betül Keskinkilic; Karaca, Ahmet Serdar
    Objective: Gallbladder cancer is a rare neoplasm. We report our experience with gallbladder cancer that was incidentally diagnosed during or after laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed for gallstone disease. Methods: This study included all laparoscopic cholecystectomies due to gallstone disease undertaken from January 2010 to April 2015. Exclusion criteria were suspicion of malignancy and/or existence of gallbladder polyps detected with ultrasonography preoperatively. Patients with incidentally diagnosed gallbladder cancer were recorded, and the clinical and demographic characteristics of these patients were reviewed. Results: Of 6,114 patients in whom laparoscopic cholecystectomy was attempted, 5.948 were included in this study. Incidental gallbladder cancer was found in thirty-six patients, with a mean age of 64.08 years. The histological tumor stages were adenocarcinoma in situ in seven patient, pT1b in nine patient, pT2 in eleven patient, and pT3 in nine patients. Sixteen patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy alone underwent no additional surgery because of the low stage of the tumors. The twenty remaining patients, whose laparoscopic cholecystectomies were converted to open surgeries, underwent cholecystectomy, excision of the liver bed and lymph node dissection. The overall median survival time was 28 months. Conclusions: The incidence of incidental gallbladder cancer has been reported to vary, up to 2.85%. In this single-center study, the rate of incidental gallbladder cancer was found to be 0.60%. Female gender and advanced age are demographic risk factors for gallbladder carcinoma. Although gallbladder cancer is well known for its poor prognosis, tumors that are incidentally diagnosed are often found at an early stage and have a better prognosis.
