Abstract

Torsion of the gallbladder is a rare cause of acute surgical abdomen. Less than 300 patients have been reported so far. On the other hand incidence seems to be higher than expected especially in elderly patients. This condition must be suspected in an elderly patient who represents signs and symptoms of toxemia and cholecystitis . Diagnosis is usually established during laparotomy. Torsion occurs at the base of the gallbladder around cystic duct and artery. Treatment is emergent cholecystectomy.

Özet

Safra kesesi torsiyonu akut cerrahi karnın seyrek görülen nedenlerinden biridir. Şimdiye kadar 300'den az sayıda olgu bildirilmiştir. Diğer taraftan insidansmın özellikle yaşlı hastalarda daha yüksek olduğu görünmektedir. Toksetni ve kolesistit belirti ve bulgularıyla başvuran hastalarda bu patoloji düşünülmelidir. Tanı genellikle laparotomi sırasında konur. Safra kesesi tabanı hizasında safra kesesi kanalı ve arteri etrafında torsiyon oluşur. Tedavisi acil kolesistektomidir.
