Laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gallstones was successful in most patients, with a few requiring conversion to open surgery. This minimally invasive approach facilitated faster recovery and effective treatment of common bile duct stones.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Gallstone disease is a common condition requiring surgical intervention.
  • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become the standard treatment for symptomatic gallstones.
  • Challenges in laparoscopic procedures include anatomical variations and intraoperative complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of laparoscopic cholecystectomy for uncomplicated gallstone disease.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of a newly designed catheter for intraoperative cholangiography.
  • To report on the management of common bile duct stones during laparoscopic procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed in 41 patients with uncomplicated gallstone disease.

  • Conversion to open surgery was necessary in 5 patients due to fibrosis or bleeding.
  • Intraoperative cholangiography was facilitated by a novel catheter, and endoprostheses were used for bile duct stones.

    • Main Results:

    • The procedure was completed laparoscopically in 36 patients.
    • Median operating time was 100 minutes (range 60-250 minutes).
    • 10 patients experienced superficial trocar site infections; all recovered and returned to normal activities.

    Conclusions:

    • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a safe and effective treatment for uncomplicated gallstones.
    • The developed cholangiography catheter and techniques for managing bile duct stones improved procedural efficiency.
    • Minimally invasive surgery offers rapid recovery and good patient outcomes.
