Area of Science:

  • Surgical Procedures
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery
  • Ambulatory Surgery

Background:

  • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is a common surgical procedure.
  • Evaluating same-day discharge protocols is crucial for optimizing patient flow and resource utilization.
  • Ambulatory surgery models aim to reduce hospital stays while maintaining patient safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare ambulatory laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) with overnight LC.
  • To determine the safety of ambulatory LC.
  • To identify factors predicting the success of ambulatory LC.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective chart review of 149 ambulatory LC procedures.
  • Defined ambulatory LC as discharge within 12 hours.
  • Defined overnight LC as discharge within 24 hours.

Main Results:

  • 61% (91/149) of ambulatory LC procedures were successful.
  • 58 patients required overnight admission due to pain, nausea, or patient preference.
  • Procedure duration was the only significant objective predictor of ambulatory LC success.

Conclusions:

  • Ambulatory LC is a safe and effective option for cholecystectomy.
  • Procedure length and patient motivation are critical for successful early discharge.
  • Optimizing patient selection can enhance the success rates of ambulatory LC.
