Cholangiocarcinoma and Gallbladder Cancer Studies

Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the incidence of pathologies causing biliary stasis together with xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) and its effect on conversion to open cholecystectomy. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study reviewed the medical records of 11840 patients who underwent cholecystectomy at Seyhan State Hospital between January 2010 and June 2020. After examining the medical records, 40 (0.33%) of 11840 cholecystectomy cases were diagnosed as XGC pathologically. Results: In the last decade, 40 (0.33%) patients out of a total of 11840 patients who underwent cholecystectomy were diagnosed with XGC. The mean age of the cases was 58 (34-88). In 26 (65%) of 40 patients, surgery was completed laparoscopically. Open surgery was performed in 5 (12.5%) of them. Nine (22.5%) patients were converted from laparoscopic cholecystectomy to open surgery. In all cholecystectomy cases, the conversion cholecystectomy(CC) rate was 412/11840 (3.4%). Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) was performed in 13 (32.5%) patients for diagnosis and therapeutic purposes related to bile ducts. The gallbladder wall's average thickness was found to be 8.0 millimeters (± 3.87) on histopathological examination. 38 (95%) patients had an increase in gall bladder wall thickness of 4 millimeters or more. CC rate was found to be high in the subgroup analysis of pathology causing bile stasis and in patients who underwent emergency cholecystectomy. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that the pathologies causing bile stasis are observed more frequently in XGC patients than other cholecystitis patients, suggesting that these pathologies may be associated with XGC.
