Cholecystogastrostomy

Cholecystogastrostomy (cholecystojejunostomy) is a surgical procedure in which the gallbladder is connected to the duodenum or jejunum. This is usually done through an incision in the abdominal wall.

Cholecystogastrostomy can be performed as a stand-alone operation or as part of another operation, such as gallbladder removal. This surgery is usually performed when the gallbladder is damaged or removed due to cancer or other diseases.

The cholecystogastrostomy procedure involves creating a channel between the gallbladder and the gastrointestinal tract. This channel is then filled with a special tube that allows bile from the gallbladder to flow into the intestines.

Benefits of cholecystogastomy include relief from pain associated with gallstones, as well as reducing the amount of acid in bile, which can help prevent stomach ulcers.

However, there are some risks associated with this procedure. One is the possibility of infection at the junction, which can lead to inflammation and pain. In addition, cholecystogastrostomy can cause digestive problems such as constipation or diarrhea.

In general, cholecystogastrostomy should only be considered in cases where other treatments have failed and when the risk of complications is lower than the risks associated with the patient's health.

Cholecystogastrostomy is a surgical procedure performed to create an anastomosis between the gallbladder and the stomach. This operation is performed for certain diseases, such as cholelithiasis, pancreatitis, stomach cancer and others.

Cholecystectomy (removal of the gallbladder) can be performed in conjunction with cholecystogastostomy. This reduces the risk of complications associated with gallbladder removal, such as pancreatitis and hepatitis.

The operation is performed under general anesthesia and takes about 1-2 hours. After surgery, the patient must remain in the hospital for several days to monitor his condition.

There may be some complications in the postoperative period, such as bleeding, infection and organ damage. However, if the operation is performed correctly and the doctor’s recommendations are followed, the risk of complications is minimal.

Thus, cholecystogastrostomy is an important surgical procedure that can help improve the quality of life of patients with certain diseases.

Introduction

Cholecystgastroenterostomy is a surgical procedure that involves creating a connection between the bile organ and the intestine. Cholecystogastrostomy is a rare surgical procedure that, for reasons of safety and convenience, is performed only when another method is not possible. We will tell you in more detail what we are talking about, why this operation is dangerous, how it is performed and what side effects or complications there may be.

The essence of the operation

The operation is similar to cholecystoduodenostomy, in which a connection is also created between the bile duct and the first section of the small intestine, with the help of which the processes of digestion and bile secretion are improved, waste is destroyed and eliminated. The procedure can be performed on both bile ducts or on each one separately. For convenience and to preserve healthy tissue near the gallbladder, a special pocket is cut out during the procedure, which is then sutured over the junction. This method has many advantages: * By connecting the intestines, the gastroenterologist can eliminate the cause of the disease even in cases where other treatment methods do not produce results. The operation allows you to cleanse the intestines. You can overcome intestinal obstruction. * The removed gallbladder after cholecystostomy will last a long time, because the likelihood of stone destruction is practically reduced to zero. There is no need to constantly take medications and ensure that they are taken on time; it is enough to simply notice that they have already served their purpose and replace them with new ones. During the procedure, surgeons make an incision in the patient's abdomen. After the procedure, the incision is sutured using a strong ligature. Immediately after the operation, the patient can stand on his feet and walk. A small lump will form at the wound site, which will become flatter as it heals.

Side effects

A person undergoing cholecystectomy for an anostomosis may need to be fed through an IV for several days after surgery while the body adapts and restores important functions. After about 7 days, the patient can already walk, and after about a month he can return to work and other activities. In some cases, recovery takes up to 6 weeks. After surgery, patients may experience various side effects, such as: * Pain throughout the body, vomiting, sometimes several attacks; * Sometimes short-term signs of fever and chills, weakness and loss of appetite are observed;

The following possible consequences are distinguished:

Pain throughout the body - can last from 2 to 5 days, usually severe, but short-lived. Then the pain decreases and the patient can begin to recover
