Preoperative MRI for predicting pathological changes associated with surgical difficulty during laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 1137-1145, December 2020., 2020
Variations in the layered pattern of the gallbladder wall on MRI were significantly associated with fibrosis and necrosis of the gallbladder wall in acute cholecystitis. Intermediate to low signal intensity of the gallbladder wall on MRI had a sensitivity of 90 per cent and a specificity of 73 per cent for predicting pathological changes in the ...

Safe, selective histopathological examination of gallbladder specimens: a systematic review

BJS (British Journal of Surgery), Volume 107, Issue 11, Page 1414-1428, October 2020., 2020
This meta‐analysis found that the incidence of truly incidental gallbladder cancer (GBC) was less than 0·5 per cent and decreased to less than 0·1 per cent when the surgeon performed a systematic macroscopic examination. At least 50 per cent of GBC that was not detected before or during surgery was of early stage and with no clinical consequences ...
