Bowel Management
Today we have Katie and Julie from Dr. Marc A. Levitt's office to discuss bowel management.
Katie’s Bio
Katherine Worst, CPNP-AC
Katherine “Katie” Worst is a Certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner with a background in acute care, surgery, intensive care, trauma and burns. Katie served five years as a staff nurse at Children’s National before obtaining her Masters in Science as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner in 2013. As a mid-level provider, Katie worked with a team of surgeons caring for pediatric trauma, burn and general surgery patients.
In 2017, Katie recognized a population of patients in need of long-term support, and she took the initiative to educate herself on this population, the colorectal patient surgical patient, attending national conferences and spending time at other centers. As a result, she was identified by the surgical team at Children’s National as an expert in their post-surgical care and ongoing bowel management. She independently ran a bowel management program for surgical patients who struggle with constipation and incontinence following colorectal repair.
In 2019 Katie brought her experience running a bowel management program to the newly created Division of Colorectal and Pelvic Reconstruction, under the leadership of Dr. Marc Levitt, where Katie now serves as the Clinical Leader. She has led education sessions both domestically and internationally, speaking on the care of the colorectal patient.
Julie’s Bio
Julie Choueiki, MSN, RN
Julie completed her undergraduate studies in Nursing at The Ohio State University. She completed her Masters of Science in Nursing Administration at The University of Cincinnati. Julie has worked as a Trauma, Critical Care and Emergency Department Nurse, Nurse Educator, Informatics Educator, and Professional Development Nurse Specialist. She was the 2013 March of Dimes Nurse of the Year for Emergency Services Nursing. She has been active on numerous hospital committees and task forces focusing on Quality Improvement, Patient and Staff Safety, and Evidence-Based Practice.
In 2019 Julie was recruited to join Dr. Marc Levitt at Children’s National in Washington, DC to build the Division of Colorectal and Pelvic Reconstruction; a comprehensive collaborative program designed to meet the complex needs of the colorectal patient and their families.
Her expertise in the field of Program Management and as a past Director of Strategy poised her to develop a collaborative center in the nation’s capital, treating and serving children from all over the United States and the world. She has travelled domestically and internationally, speaking on the work of collaborative care centers, and providing education on program development.

Epidemiology
95% of the gallbladder diseases are cholelithiasis (gallstones.)
About 2% of the US health budget goes towards the management of cholelithiasis and its complications.
10%-20% of the population in the western hemisphere has gallstones.
25-50 tons of the gallstones are carried by more than 20 million Americans.
In the US about 1 million new cases are diagnosed annually, out of these, 2/3 will undergo surgery for the gallstones.
Gallstones are of two main types. 80% are cholesterol stones. Consisting of crystalline cholesterol monohydrate. The remainder are mainly bilirubin calcium salts and are called pigment stones.
High-Level Pathophysiology
The basic reason for the formation of the cholesterol stones is the following:
They only path for the cholesterol removal from the body is via the bile system. Cholesterol is not water soluble. We need to make it water soluble to traverse this path. To solve this, our body forms bile salts and lecithins. These bind with cholesterol and allow the passage through the bile system. These salts and lecithins are like boats on the water to which cholesterol is bound. If the quantity of the cholesterol is more than the binding capacity of these salts, then the unbound cholesterol forms cholesterol monohydrate crystals. These crystals precipitate in solid form. These precipitations irritate the gallbladder layers that in turn release mucus which traps these solid structures in the gallbladder resulting in the stone formation.
In summary, the following four events occur simultaneously for the formation of a gallstone:
1. Amount of cholesterol more than the binding capacity of the bile salts (supersaturation.)
2. Formation of the cholesterol monohydrate crystals.
3. Precipitation and aggregation of these crystals forming solid stone particles.
4. Mucus secretion by the gallbladder's inner surface resulting in the entrapment of these solid particles in the gallbladder.
Pigment Stones
These stones are predominantly composed of bilirubin calcium salts. Their formation is a complex phenomenon. However, it is clear that the presence of unconjugated bilirubin in the bile tree predisposes to the formation of the pigment stones. An example is hemolytic anemia, where the premature RBC breakdown overwhelms the hepatocyte's bilirubin conjugation capacity and the unconjugated bilirubin appears in blood plasma and bile. Infections of the biliary tree can also result in unconjugated bilirubin in the bile.
Also, note that the prevalence of the gallstones is age and gender-related.
Age
Population < 40 has 5% to 6% prevalence of the gallstones.
Population > 80 y has 25% to 30% prevalence of the gallstones.
Gender
Prevalence in white women is twice as high as in men.
Ethnic and geographic
The native American population has a 75% prevalence of cholesterol gallstones. Pigment stones are rare in this group.
Gallstones are more prevalent in western industrialized societies compared to the developing countries.

Cholelithiasis (Gallstones). Clinical Features.
Frequently cholelithiasis is asymptomatic. It is usually discovered during a radiographic study or during a surgery, or an autopsy.
Clinical features of gallstones occur due to the obstruction and inflammation of the gallbladder by a large stone, or the small stones that move down in the biliary tree and get stuck in it, or due to the irritation and inflammation of the biliary tree.
Pain is usually excruciating (severe). It may be constant or colicky. The pain of acute cholecystitis is in the upper right quadrant can be associated with fever, nausea, and a positive Murphy's sign. Biliary or episodic gallbladder pain occurs in 10-25% of the patients. Acute cholecystitis occurs in 20% of these symptomatic patients.
Occasionally gallstone ileus or Bouveret or Mirizzi syndrome occurs as a clinical complication of a gallstone. Bouveret syndrome occurs when the stone obstructs pylorus or duodenum.
Murphy's sign is positive when you palpate the upper right quadrant during inspiration, and the patient's breathing is interrupted or stopped due to the pain.
You can also perform an indirect fist percussion to compare any difference in pain in the right upper quadrant and the left upper quadrant.
