Cholecystitis - will treating gallbladder disease initially conservatively during the COVID crisis mean more difficult operations and be even more costly for the health service? https://t.co/DAjbF744Bo https://t.co/CVvWCO5cEd

[Ewen A Griffiths @EwenGriffiths]

Cholecystectomy varies immensely in operative difficulty. See our two papers on the effect of grade and outcome and a pre-op prediction tool #SoMe4Surgery

Do low carb higher fat diets cause gallstones? This paper supports the idea it is low fat diets that cause gall stones and "A relatively high fat intake could prevent gallstone formation, probably by maintaining an adequate gallbladder emptying" Fits with my clinical experience

I encourage everyone to use the doublet scoring schematic. 5or 6 ( out of 6) is a safe cvs. 4 or less is not. https://t.co/YIN8iQqqAH

The diagnosis was #BouveretsSyndrome, an uncommon presentation of obstruction of the gastric outlet & a rare form of gallstone ileus. It is caused by a gallstone passing through a cholecystoduodenal fistula, impacting the duodenal cap & causing obstruction https://t.co/UWttAOQMdv
