“…Spontaneous resolution of gallstones had been documented in neonates and young infants [3,4] and conservative management has been suggested in the asymptomatic child with yearly follow-up ultrasonography. However most series have preferred the surgical option in children with symptomatic gallbladder disease [5,6]. In our series, five cases (26.3%) had associated haemolytic disease, which compares well with other series [7].…”

“…Patients with SCD have an increased risk of developing cholelithiasis (ie, gallstones) 2 . Cholelithiasis should be considered as a potential diagnosis when a child with SCD experiences recurrent abdominal pain 3 . Evaluation criteria used to confirm the diagnosis of cholelithiasis include radiological evaluation using biliary scintigram and ultrasound and laboratory results that indicate elevations in serum bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, hepatic enzyme levels, and white blood cell count 4 …”

Medical and surgical advances have improved the treatment of cholelithiasis (ie, gallstones) in children with sickle cell disease (SCD). Children with SCD have an increased risk of developing pigment gallstones that initially may be asymptomatic but that can lead to acute symptoms of cholelithiasis. An elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedure is recommended for pediatric patients with SCD to prevent the risk of requiring an emergency cholecystectomy procedure. The primary benefits of this approach include a shorter hospital stay after surgery, decreased postoperative discomfort, decreased risk of complications, and a quicker return to normal activities.

“…However, the stone recurrence rate could reach 30% to 40% in 5 to 10 years after the procedures during primary research, the advantages were marginal. 19,20 But recently, with the development of laparoscope and choledochoscope, the average stone recurrence rate decreased significantly. [21][22][23][24] Close observation and a wide view of the gallbladder mucosa can be made by a rigid cholecystoscope with an enlarged image.…”

Abstract:The study aimed to compare the application values of endoscopic-laparoscopic cholecystolithotomy (ELC) and laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) for patients with cholecystolithiasis. It did a retrospective analysis of 107 patients with cholecystolithiasis who underwent ELC and 144 patients with cholecystolithiasis who underwent LC. There is no significant difference in operating time and expenses when comparing ELC with LC (P > 0.05). ELC showed significantly less blood loss during operation compared with LC (P < 0.01). Shortened exhaust time (P < 0.05) and hospital stay (P < 0.01) were present in patients who underwent ELC. Moreover, ELC showed decreased occurrence rate of dyspepsia and diarrhea in comparison with LC (P < 0.01). The stone recurrence rate of ELC was 16.67%. ELC decreased the recurrence of stone in common bile duct in comparison with LC. The contractile function of gallbladder was close to normal (P < 0.05), and the thickness of gallbladder wall significantly decreased (P < 0.001). Patients who underwent ELC showed less digestive symptom, good recovery, and low stone recurrence compared with those who underwent LC.
