Article Abstract
There have been reports of gallbladders in several ectopic locations. A gallbladder that is intrahepatic is one that is located along the anterior inferior right lobe of the liver or within the liver parenchyma. A 39-year-old male patient presented with symptoms that led to a gallbladder origin and was worked up using ultrasonography, which confirmed the presence of a contracted gallbladder with multiple stones. The patient was booked electively for a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Diagnostic laparoscopy was utilized and revealed only the lower end of the gallbladder, while the rest was embedded within the liver parenchyma. After resection, the gallbladder was sent to pathology and came back as chronic cholecystitis. The patient was discharged with an unremarkable postoperative period. Intrahepatic gallbladders can be very challenging to locate during a laparoscopic procedure, but can still be managed without converting to an open technique.

This study aimed to identify the biomarkers that was associated with the postoperative incisional pain in patients with acute cholecystitis undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery (ACC-LC). Sixty ACC-LC patients were enrolled and divided into mild pain (MP) and moderate-to-severe pain (MSP) groups based on their visual analog scale (VAS) scores 24 hours postoperatively. RNA sequencing was used to screen the potential pain associated markers, and ELISA were used to analyze the expression of one identified marker, CXCR5 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).

We describe a case of a 64-year-old obese woman with a history of severe acute cholecystitis and choledocholithias who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy in our clinic after endoscopic treatment by sphincterotomy and stent insertion. On the first operative day, a significant bile leakage of 400 ml appeared in the drainage. An immediate surgical revision was performed, starting by laparoscopy with conversion to open surgery.

Introduction: Bile duct injury (BDI) is a potentially devastating complication of cholecystectomy. Although the repair may be successful, patients often experience a decline in their quality of life (QoL). However, there is a paucity of data regarding the factors influencing long-term outcomes and QOL in these patients.

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a commonly used tumor marker, primarily for the surveillance of colorectal and other gastrointestinal malignancies. However, its diagnostic specificity is limited, as CEA levels may be elevated in several benign conditions. This case report aims to highlight the potential diagnostic confusion and psychological distress caused by incidental CEA elevation in asymptomatic individuals when tested outside of an appropriate clinical context.
