Cholecystitis01:20

Cholecystitis

Cholecystitis is inflammation of the gallbladder, most commonly caused by obstruction of the cystic duct. This blockage prevents bile from draining, leading to gallbladder distension, inflammation, and potentially serious complications. This condition may present acutely or chronically and can happen with or without gallstones.EtiologyAbout 95% of cholecystitis cases are calculous, caused by gallstones blocking the cystic duct, leading to bile accumulation and inflammation of the gallbladder...

Open cholecystectomy without drainage is a safe and effective procedure for uncomplicated gallstone disease, leading to fewer complications and shorter hospital stays. Routine intra-peritoneal drainage is unnecessary in selected cases with a dry gall bladder bed.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical outcomes
  • Gastrointestinal surgery
  • Gallbladder disease management

Background:

  • Open cholecystectomy has been the standard for gallbladder disease for a century.
  • The procedure involves gallbladder removal, primarily for symptomatic gallstones.
  • This study investigates outcomes of open cholecystectomy without drainage.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the complications and outcomes of open cholecystectomy performed without intra-peritoneal drainage.
  • To evaluate the necessity of routine drainage in specific open cholecystectomy cases.
  • To compare outcomes with traditional open cholecystectomy using drains.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective analysis of 212 patients undergoing open cholecystectomy without drainage from 2005-2008.

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy with Indocyanine Green Fluorescence: Choledochoscopic Stone Extraction and Primary Duct Suture

Published on: November 25, 2025

  • Patients with uncomplicated cholelithiasis were included; exclusions were complex gallbladder conditions.
  • Data on operative time, complications, and hospital stay were collected and analyzed.

    • Main Results:

    • The study included 212 patients (93.9% female), aged 15-70, with uncomplicated cholelithiasis.
    • The most common complications were seroma (5.66%), surgical site infection (3.30%), and bile leakage (1.14%).
    • No biliary peritonitis, subhepatic abscess, or Wattman Walter's syndrome occurred; mean hospital stay was 1.5 days with no mortality.

    Conclusions:

    • Routine intra-peritoneal drainage is unnecessary in selected open cholecystectomy cases.
    • Open cholecystectomy without drainage demonstrated a significantly lower complication rate and shorter hospital stay.
    • This approach offers a safe alternative for managing uncomplicated gallstone disease.
