Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LCHE) offers significant advantages over classical cholecystectomy (CCHE), including reduced hospital stays and lower costs. While both methods show similar postoperative morbidity, LCHE demonstrates a 0% mortality rate and is preferred by patients for its comfort and cosmetic benefits.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Comparative Effectiveness Research

Background:

  • Cholecystectomy is a common surgical procedure for gallstones.
  • Classical cholecystectomy (CCHE) has been the standard approach.
  • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LCHE) emerged as a minimally invasive alternative.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the outcomes of CCHE and LCHE.
  • To evaluate patient morbidity, mortality, and hospital stay.
  • To assess the cost-effectiveness and patient preference for each technique.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective analysis of 408 patients undergoing cholecystectomy between March 1994 and June 1995.
  • 208 patients underwent LCHE, while the remainder had CCHE.

  • Outcomes including morbidity, mortality, hospitalisation duration, and costs were recorded.

    • Main Results:

    • No significant difference in postoperative morbidity between LCHE and CCHE.
    • LCHE exhibited 0% mortality, while CCHE had 1.4% mortality.
    • LCHE resulted in shorter hospitalisation (5.2 days vs. 8.3 days) and 40% cost savings.
    • Complicated cases were more frequently managed with CCHE.

    Conclusions:

    • LCHE is a safe, effective, and well-tolerated procedure with significant patient benefits.
    • LCHE offers advantages in reduced hospital stay, cost savings, and patient satisfaction.
    • CCHE remains a viable option, particularly for complicated gallstone disease cases.
