Experience of Laparoscopic Cholecystectomies in a Tertiary Care Hospital: a Retrospective Study

Abstract: Introduction: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the most commonly performed surgical procedure of digestive tract. It has replaced open cholecystectomy as gold standard treatment for cholelithiasis and inflammation of gallbladder.  It is estimated that approximately 90% of cholecystectomies in the  United States are performed using a laparoscopic approach.  The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of Laparoscopic cholecystectomy in context to its complications, morbidity and mortality in a tertiary car… Show more

“…In our study, the ratio of females to males was 4.18:1 which was similar to the study done in Baghdad. 8,9 The mean age of the patient was 47.13 years which was comparable with the study done in Nepal 3,10 , India 11 , and Greece 12 however, study done in Pakistan had a mean age of 39 years which was 8 years earlier than our population. 13 This difference might be due to dietary and lifestyle variations which promote gallstone formation among those populations.…”

“…However, none of the patients in this study had a significant vascular injury. The incidence of conversion to open surgery has been reported to range from 2.6 to 7.7% 1 , 25 , 26 ; however, the conversion rate in this study was slightly lower at 2.4%, with severe adhesion as the primary reason. Reoperation within 30 days was necessary in four patients due to various complications: (i) bleeding from the gallbladder bed on day 0, (ii) hepatic flexure colon injury on day 1, (iii) ileal injury on day 2, and (iv) total transection of the common hepatic duct on day 10.…”

“…For symptomatic cholelithiasis, the standard gold treatment for gallstones is laparoscopic cholecystectomy. 8 The removal of gallbladder disease with laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a minimally invasive surgical operation. This method has supplanted the open approach for regular surgery to remove the gallbladder since the mid-1990s.…”
