    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Hepatobiliary Surgery

    Context:

    • Benign icterus and cholelithiasis are common findings during gallbladder and biliary duct operations.
    • A significant percentage of patients present with a history of biliary issues or gallstones.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the incidence of benign icterus and associated conditions in patients undergoing gallbladder and biliary duct surgery.
    • To evaluate the complications, mortality rates, and prognostic factors in this patient cohort.

    Summary:

    • Out of 3192 operations, 9.9% of patients experienced benign icterus (maximal serum bilirubin 21 μmol/l).
    • Common findings included cholelithiasis (54%), gallstones in the gallbladder and ducts (30.9%), and biliary duct stones only (2.8%).
    • Additional complications were noted in 44.3% of patients, with a 5% post-operative mortality rate.
