Laparoscopic cholecystectomy offers similar patient satisfaction and symptomatic outcomes to open cholecystectomy. While both procedures are effective, laparoscopic surgery showed a slightly higher incidence of nausea and antacid use.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Surgical Outcomes

Background:

  • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a common surgical procedure.
  • Assessing long-term symptomatic outcomes is crucial for patient well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the symptomatic outcomes of laparoscopic cholecystectomy with open cholecystectomy and inguinal hernia repair.

Main Methods:

  • A standard symptom questionnaire was administered to patients at least one year post-surgery.
  • Three patient groups were compared: laparoscopic cholecystectomy (n=115), open cholecystectomy (n=200), and inguinal hernia repair (n=200).

Main Results:

  • Patient satisfaction and perceived improvement in preoperative symptoms were high and similar across all three surgical groups (around 94%).
  • The prevalence of abdominal pain, nausea, flatulence, food intolerance, and heartburn was comparable between the cholecystectomy groups and the hernia repair group.

  • Diarrhea was more frequent after both laparoscopic and open cholecystectomy compared to hernia repair. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients reported more nausea/vomiting and antacid consumption than open cholecystectomy patients.

    • Conclusions:

    • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy provides comparable patient satisfaction and symptomatic relief to open cholecystectomy.
    • No significant symptomatic advantage was observed for laparoscopic cholecystectomy over the open procedure, with some minor differences in side effects like nausea and antacid use.
