A STUDY OF OCCURENCE OF INCIDENTAL CARCINOMA OF GALL BLADDER IN OPERATED CASES OF GALL STONE DISEASE

Abstract

Introduction: The issue of incidental gall bladder carcinoma was elaborated in 1771, by Maximilian Stoll at Vienna for the rst time.1 Cholecystectomy has a most peculiar and commonest indication which is cholelithiasis and the prevalence rate is high in North India and where it varies from 2 to 29 %. The region of North India has a higher risk for the incidence of gall bladder carcinoma. The survival rates of those patients who are undergoing a resection for incidental gall bladder carcinoma are more or less similar to the patients who are undergoing the primary radical surgery. Materials And Methods: Study will be conducted on 155 patients, undergoing lap/open cholecystectomy, attending the surgical OPD and emergency of TMMC&RC, Moradabad. Informed consent will be taken from all the subjects. Findings of Routine & relevant investigation (example - Ultrasonography of abdomen / CECT Abdomen / MRCP of abdomen) will be noted. Intraoperative ndings will be noted. Histopathology report ndings will be noted. Analyzed and discussed under following variables – 1. Demographic prole (age, sex) 2. Histopathology report Results: The age group 36 to 45 years is a mostly affected age group, the most common diagnosis is chronic cholecystitis and it is also noticed that females are mainly affected from gallbladder carcinoma. Conclusion: Prognosis of incidental gallbladder carcinoma can come up with better results when it is being diagnosed during the early stages.
