Abstrakt: We reviewed the medical records of 17 patients with sickle hemoglobinopathy-associated cholelithiasis who were candidates for laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) between 1991 and 1994. Eight patients with suspected choledocholithiasis (CDL) were identified, all of whom had preoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), which revealed CDL in 3 patients (18%), all of whom had endoscopic ductal clearance. Choledocholithiasis was suspected because of hyperbilirubinemia or serum liver enzyme abnormalities. Incremental hyperbilirubinemia exceeding "baseline" values by > 5 mg/dL was the best predictor of CDL. Subsequent LC was successful with discharge within 2 days of LC in all but one patient, who was converted to open cholecystectomy. This small series suggests that in sickle hemoglobinopathy patients with cholelithiasis (1) CDL is relatively common among patients with an increase above baseline hyperbilirubinemia, (2) bile duct dilatation, alkaline phosphatase, and serum aminotransferase levels are poor predictors of CDL, and (3) sequential endoscopic/laparoscopic management of cholelithiasis and suspected CDL is successful.
