BACKGROUND Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has traditionally been performed under general anesthesia, however, owing in part to the advancement of surgical and anesthetic techniques, many laparoscopic cholecystectomies have been successfully performed under the spinal anesthetic technique. We hoped to determine the feasibility of segmental epidural anesthesia for LC. METHODS Twelve American...

Objective: We performed a comparative analysis of single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) and 4-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) to clarify the usefulness of SILC in treating cholecystopathy. Subjects and Methods: Subjects were 77 patients who underwent LC prior to the introduction of SILC at our hospital and 182 patients who subsequently underwent SILC. We obtained patient da...

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is a common surgical procedure for managing gallbladder disease. Prolonged length of stay (LOS) in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) may lead to overcrowding and decline medical resource utilization. In this work, we aimed develop validate predictive nomogram identifying patients who require prolonged PACU LOS.

Abstract ​ Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures worldwide. Iatrogenic bile duct injury (IBDI) a serious complication LC and has an incidence 0.3 to 0.7%. Since it associated with significant potentially lifelong morbidity as well mortality, diagnosing IBDI early possible paramount importance. Management injuries prognosis their repair dep...

AIM To present and integrate findings of studies investigating the effects of laparoscopic cholecystectomy on various aspects of lung function. METHODS We extensively reviewed literature of the past 24 years concerning the effects of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in comparison to the open procedure on many aspects of lung function including spirometric values, arterial blood gases, respiratory...

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the most common elective surgery performed by a general surgeon. Although being routine procedure, classical pitfalls as misperception of intraoperative anatomy one leading causes bile duct injuries (BDI). The critical view safety (CVS) in LC can be new safe technique for identification to reduce such risk. Objective: To assess efficacy CVS compa...
