Simultaneous cesarean delivery and gallbladder removal (laparoscopic cholecystectomy) is feasible. This combined approach streamlines care, avoiding separate surgeries for women needing both procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Gallbladder disease (cholecystitis) can occur during pregnancy.
  • Cesarean delivery is a common surgical procedure.
  • Separate surgeries for cesarean delivery and cholecystectomy increase patient burden.

Observation:

  • A 39-year-old woman with a history of two cesarean sections experienced recurrent cholecystitis during her third pregnancy.
  • She underwent a combined procedure: elective cesarean section, tubal sterilization, and hand-assisted laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia.

Findings:

  • The combined operation had a total operating time of 53 minutes.
  • Estimated blood loss was 550 ml.
  • The postoperative hospital stay was 72 hours, with an uneventful recovery.

Implications:

  • Combining cesarean delivery with hand-assisted laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a safe and efficient option.
  • This approach reduces the need for multiple surgical interventions.
  • It offers a streamlined surgical and recovery process for eligible patients.
