    Intraperitoneal drainage after cholelithiasis surgery is not consistently beneficial for chronic cases. However, it proves useful following choledochus exploration to manage bile duct drains.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology and Hepatobiliary Surgery

    Background:

    • Cholelithiasis (gallstones) necessitates surgical intervention, with varying approaches for acute and chronic presentations.
    • The role and efficacy of intraperitoneal drainage following cholecystectomy, particularly in chronic cases, require clarification.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the necessity and effectiveness of intraperitoneal drainage in patients undergoing surgery for cholelithiasis.
    • To determine optimal indications for intraperitoneal drain use based on surgical procedure (simple cholecystectomy vs. choledochus exploration) and disease stage (acute vs. chronic).

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 571 patients operated for cholelithiasis (70 acute, 501 chronic).
    • Categorization based on surgical procedure: simple cholecystectomy or cholecystectomy with choledochus exploration.

  • Documentation of intraperitoneal drain usage, fluid drainage, and complication rates.

    • Main Results:

    • Intraperitoneal drainage showed limited benefits and potential complications in chronic cholecystectomy cases without choledochus exploration.
    • A significant benefit was observed for intraperitoneal drainage when used in conjunction with choledochus exploration, aiding in the management of bile duct drains.
    • Complication rates and fluid output did not strongly support routine intraperitoneal drainage in chronic cholecystectomy.

    Conclusions:

    • Routine intraperitoneal drainage is not recommended for simple chronic cholecystectomy due to unconvincing benefits and associated risks.
    • Intraperitoneal drainage is indicated and beneficial when choledochus exploration is performed, facilitating the management of choledochus drains.
    • In cases with choledochus exploration, the intraperitoneal drain should be retained until the choledochus drain is removed.
