Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 34
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gall bladder disease is not an uncommon disorder. Most of the cases admitted in the hospitals require surgical intervention. Routine examination of the gall bladder after cholecystectomy shows different histopathological changes ranging from inflammation to premalignant and carcinoma. Although gall bladder disease is most often found in women, men may have this condition as well. The objectives of the study are1) To study the histopathological changes in gall bladder surgically removed in surgery department of MGM Medical College Hospital, Jamshedpur. 2) To find out the incidence of carcinoma and other gall bladder diseases in routine cholecystectomies. MATERIALS AND METHODS The present study is based on histopathological analysis of 174 cases of cholecystectomy specimens from January 2015 to December 2016 in the Dept. of Pathology, MGM Medical College and Hospital, Jamshedpur, Jharkhand. RESULTS In our research, 174 cases were studied, out of which 46 cases were male and 128 cases were female. Female to male ratio was 2.8:1. Gall bladder cancer was 0.57%. CONCLUSION Present study firmly suggests the routine histopathological examination of all cholecystectomy specimens for detection of various types of chronic cholecystitis and also of incidental carcinoma of gall bladder.
