2. 21. Trends and current clinical aspects of complicated gallstone disease - with special reference to endoscopic treatment

   Author : Eric Kullman; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : Time trends regarding incidence, management, and outcome of acute (AC) and elective cholecystectomy (EC), as well as symptomatic (cholangitis, pancreatitis, jaundice) and asymptomatic (detected accidentally during cholecystectomy) common bile duct (CBD) stones were studied during the time period 1970-1986 in a welldefined Swedish population. From period I (1970-1978) to period II (1979-1986) there was a four-fold increase in the ratio of AC (period I: mean 10/100,000/year, period II: mean 30/100,000/year) to EC (period 1: mean 190/100,000/year, period II: mean 120/100,000/year).

   Abstract : Background: Patients with symptomatic gallstone disease can present with years of intermittent suffering or acute complicated disease. The only definitive cure is surgery. Registering both surgical and patient reported outcome measures may provide a more reliable platform to assess the impact of gallstone surgery and improved decision-making. READ MORE

   Abstract : Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease with variable severity ranging from mild interstitial edematous to severe necrotizing disease. The overall mortality rate of AP is 8-9%. Specific treatment of AP is lacking which is partly related to an incomplete understanding of the basic pathophysiology behind the disease. READ MORE
