A low conversion rate (2.0%) in laparoscopic cholecystectomy, combined with a low bile duct injury rate (0.26%), indicates high surgical quality. Identifying risk factors for conversion is key to improving outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Quality Assessment
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

  • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy conversion to open surgery increases morbidity.
  • Low conversion and complication rates may indicate superior surgical quality.
  • This study investigates conversion rates and bile duct injuries at a secondary referral center.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Analyze laparoscopic cholecystectomy conversion rates.
  • Correlate conversion rates with bile duct injuries.
  • Identify risk factors associated with conversion.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 1534 laparoscopic cholecystectomies (2013-2022).
  • Evaluation of demographic, clinical, and surgical data.
  • Assessment of difficulty scores, conversion rates, and bile duct injuries.

Main Results:

  • Overall conversion rate was 2.0% (31/1534).
  • 84% of conversions occurred in emergency cases.
  • Bile duct injury incidence was 0.26%, below the literature average.

Conclusions:

  • Low conversion and bile duct injury rates signify surgical quality.
  • Risk stratification, surgical skills, and team composition are crucial for low conversion rates.
  • Intraoperative cholangiography and appropriate surgical timing are important factors.
