Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Safety

Background:

  • Achieving Critical View of Safety during laparoscopic cholecystectomy is challenging in severe inflammation or distorted anatomy.
  • This difficulty significantly elevates the risk of catastrophic bile duct injury.
  • Laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy serves as a crucial bailout procedure in such complex scenarios.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of modified laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy.
  • To assess its role as a bailout operation when complete cholecystectomy is not feasible.
  • To analyze operative variables, postoperative complications, and patient outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of 55 patients at BMHRC Bhopal (January 2024-January 2025).
  • Inclusion criteria: chronic calculous cholecystitis, Mirizzi syndrome, gallbladder perforation, post-ERCP complications.
  • Data collected on operative time, hospital stay, complications, and follow-up outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Mean operative time: 78.5 ± 24.3 minutes.
  • Mean hospital stay: 4.2 ± 2.8 days.
  • Overall complication rate: 12%, with 2% major complications. Satisfactory outcomes observed at a mean follow-up of 8.7 ± 3.2 months.

Conclusions:

  • Modified laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy is a safe and effective compromised surgical option.
  • It prioritizes the avoidance of major bile duct injury in challenging gallbladder surgeries.
  • The procedure demonstrates satisfactory operative variables, postoperative complications, and long-term outcomes.
