Abstract |
Acute gallbladder diseases are a common surgical emergency faced by General Surgeons that can sometimes be quite challenging. These complex biliary diseases require multifaceted and expeditious care, optimized based on hospital facility and operating room (OR) resources and the expertise of the surgical team. Effective management of biliary emergencies requires two foundational principles: achieving source control while mitigating the risk of injury to the biliary tree and its blood supply. This review article highlights salient literature on seven complex biliary diseases: acute cholecystitis, cholangitis, Mirizzi syndrome, gallstone ileus with cholecystoenteric fistula, gallstone pancreatitis, gall bladder cancer, and post-cholecystectomy bile leak.
