[Laparoscopic cholecystectomy makes difficult the analysis of gallbladder mucosa. Morphometric study].
Revista Médica de Chile 1994 September
Laparoscopic gallbladder surgery damages gallbladder mucosa, impeding an adequate histological examination. We studied gallbladder samples coming from 56 conventional and 44 laparoscopic cholecystectomies performed in patients with chronic cholecystitis without signs of acute inflammation. The length of each examined sample and the length of the portion where superficial epithelia was not found was measured. No differences in sample length was found between both types of cholecystectomy. However; the segment with superficial mucosa was significantly shorter in the samples coming from laparoscopic surgery. Seventeen samples did not contain mucosa at all and 14 of these (82%) came from laparoscopic procedures. Eighty six percent of samples coming from laparoscopic surgery were considered inadequate for histological study compared to 36% of samples coming from conventional cholecystectomy. It is concluded that laparoscopic cholecystectomy hampers the study of gallbladder mucosa and may have an impact on the diagnosis of neoplastic gallbladder lesions.
