Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a safe and effective treatment for gallstones, with low complication rates and short hospital stays. Careful surgical technique is crucial for minimizing risks and improving patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • General Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Context:

  • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (L.C.) is the standard treatment for symptomatic gallstones.
  • Peripheral hospitals face unique challenges in implementing advanced surgical techniques.

Purpose:

  • To retrospectively analyze the outcomes of 989 L.C. procedures performed in a peripheral hospital.
  • To compare these outcomes with existing literature data.

Summary:

  • 989 L.C. procedures were performed with no postoperative deaths and a 2.3% conversion rate.
  • Biliary tract injuries occurred in 3 cases (0.3%), and parietal complications were low (1.2% wound infections, 0.3% hernias).
  • The average hospital stay was 2 days for 97% of patients.

Impact:
