“…Thus, the threshold for surgery may be lowered, which may contribute to the increased rate of cholecystectomies and especially LCs (3). Around 70%-80% of all cholecystectomies in the Western world are now performed using laparoscopic technique (4)(5)(6).…”

“…A conversion rate not exceeding 5% for elective cases and not greater than 10% for emergency cases is recognized as a good standard of surgical practice in British centres [15]. In the opinion of some authors, conversions take place twice as often during procedures in males [2, 13,16,17]. In our material that view was not confirmed -males constituted 40% of subjects requiring a conversion.…”

“…In the literature this proportion is in the range of 2.1-27.7% [1,2,5,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. A conversion rate not exceeding 5% for elective cases and not greater than 10% for emergency cases is recognized as a good standard of surgical practice in British centres [15].…”

“…Estos hallazgos son similares a los encontrados por Zhang, et al, en el 2008, quienes identificaron que la dificultad técnica (incapacidad para identificar correctamente la anatomía y las adherencias alrededor de la vesícula) fue la principal causa de conversión en 1.265 pacientes incluidos en su estudio 17 . El aumento de la edad fue un factor de riesgo para conversión, lo que es compatible con otros estudios 16,18,19 . Lee, et al, en el 2012 encontraron una edad promedio de 58,9 años en el grupo de conversión de técnica quirúrgica, comparado con 47,5 años en el grupo de colecistectomía laparoscópica no convertida 15 .…”

“…El sexo masculino fue un factor de riesgo para la conversión, lo cual concuerda con otros estudios 7,[14][15][16]18,19,21 . En el contexto de colelitiasis sintomática, los hombres presentan más inflamación y fibrosis que las mujeres con la misma patología 22 .…”
