Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Cholecystectomy is a common surgical procedure for gallbladder disease.
  • Trends in patient demographics and surgical outcomes over time are important for evaluating healthcare quality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze trends in patient characteristics and outcomes for cholecystectomy over a 15-year period.
  • To identify changes in the incidence of specific gallbladder pathologies and complications.

Main Methods:

  • Computer analysis of hospital charts and notes for 2181 consecutive cholecystectomies.
  • Categorization of patients based on surgery dates (5, 10, and 15 years prior).

Main Results:

  • The patient population is aging, with a rising proportion of older males and diabetics.

  • Increased frequency of acalculous cholecystitis, gangrenous changes, common bile duct pathology, and positive bile cultures.
  • Significant decrease in postoperative hospitalization time without increased rates of wound infection, thromboembolic phenomena, or mortality.

    • Conclusions:

    • Surgical approach and antibiotic regimens may contribute to shorter hospital stays and stable complication rates.
    • Prophylactic heparin appears effective in preventing thromboembolic phenomena.
    • No significant change observed in gallstone-related pancreatitis, gallbladder perforations, or choledochal exploration success rates.
