Estimation of Alterations Occurring in the Bilirubin Profile of Patients Undergoing Cholecystectomy: A Comparative Study
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medicine surgery and Radiology - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Cholecystectomy is the most common intraabdominal surgical procedure performed. Laparoscopic removal is now the procedure of choice when cholecystectomy is indicated. Cholecystectomy is known to cause alterations in the hepatic profile of the patients. Hence; we planned the present study to assess the serum bilirubin profile in patients undergoing cholecystectomy. Material and methods: In the present study, we assessed serum Bilirubin levels in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. A total of 50 patients were included in the present study. Routine investigation tests were performed along with estimation of direct and indirect bilirubin. After that all patients got their pre-anaesthetic check-up and underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Estimation of both direct and indirect bilirubin was done again after 72 hours of surgery to monitor the changes occurring in the liver function. All the results were analyzed by SPSS software. Results: Mean total and direct bilirubin levels in patients preoperatively were found to be 0.7845 and 0.2234 respectively. We didn’t observe any significant difference while comparing the mean bilirubin values postoperatively after 72 hours in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Conclusion: No alterations occur in terms of mean bilirubin levels in patients undergoing cholecystectomy.
