Brief summary

Comparison of ENGBD and PTGBD methods on clinical outcomes and the difficulty of cholecystectomy in later stage in patients with acute suppurative cholecystitis.

Detailed description

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was the standard surgical method for acute cholecystitis unless difficulty in resection due to acute inflammation, no improvement after supportive therapy, or early inability to tolerate cholecystectomy. In this setting, gallbladder drainage was needed. Percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD)was used as a first-line mitigation method, whose restrictions are contraindications and strong pain caused by puncture. Endoscopic technique based on endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) had been made another alternative management for drainage. Endoscopic drainage expanded the indications for drainage without reducing the technical success rate and clinical remission rate, especially less uncomfortable, which greatly improved the quality of life for patients. Unfortunately, because of the difficult procedures and long learning curve, endoscopic gallbladder drainage can only be performed in some large endoscopic centers. Despite a few prospective comparison of PTGBD and endoscopic ultrasound EUS drainage studies so far, there is no prospective study comparing endoscopic naso-gallbladder drainage (ENGBD) and PTGBD, especially in its impacts while cholecystectomy. This study aim to observe clinical effects of ENGBD and PTGBD during the all stage of peri-cholecystectomy.

Interventions

PROCEDUREEndoscopic naso-gallbladder drainage

Using ERCP technique insert a naso-gallbladder drainage tube through common bile duct and cystic duct.

Percutaneous transhepatic technique insert drainage tube into gallbladder

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pain remission(visual-analogue scale)3 weeksPain assessment would be performed using the visual-analogue scale after procedures. Draw a 10 cm line on a piece of paper, mark one end of the line with the nubmer 0, indicating no pain; the other end with 10, indicating severe pain; the middle part indicates different degrees of pain. While assesing the pain scale, make sure the patient can not see the numbers on the paper, and let them mark the position according to their feelings about the pain. And the physician will have a score based on the mark.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Migration3 monthsNumber of participants with tube dislocation from gallbladder
Hemorrhage3 monthsNumber of participants with bleeding which was defined as hemoglobin deceased, or required transfusion or additional intervention
Perforation3 monthsNumber of participants whose CT scan shows retroperitoneal or gallbladder space fluid or gas
Gallbladder drainage success rate3 monthsBile juice outflow more than 50ml a day
Number of participants with Pancreatitis3 monthsWas defined as typical pain, Serum amylase at least three times than normal after EPCP
Cholecystectomy duration3 monthsTime of laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Hemorrhage during cholecystectomy3 monthsThe amount of bleeding
Bile leak3 monthsNumber of participants with bile juice leak into abdomen
