- To assess the outcome of optimal timing of early laparoscopic cholecystectomy in cases of acute calculous cholecystitis. (aku.edu)
- The early laparoscopic cholecystectomy within 72 hours minimizes the conversion rates and postoperative complications, and shortens the length of hospital stay in cases of acute calculous cholecystitis. (aku.edu)
- However with the increase of laparoscopic experience in recent years, early laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become more common. (panafrican-med-journal.com)
- cholecystitis
- The majority of false-positive results occur in cases of chronic cholecystitis (41,74-77) Arguments are made that given their intractable pain, these patients should have probably undergone cholecystectomy anyway, regardless of whether they have AC or CC. (thefreedictionary.com)
- The common opinion about treatment of acute cholecystitis is initially conservative treatment due to preventing complications of inflamation and following laparoscopic cholecystectomy after 6- 8 weeks. (panafrican-med-journal.com)
- we retrospectively reviewed the files of totally 66 patients in whom we performed early cholecystectomy (within the first 24 hours) (n: 33) and to whom we firstly administered conservative therapy and performed late cholecystectomy (after 6 to 8 weeks) (n: 33) after hospitalization from the emergency department with the diagnosis of acute cholecystitis. (panafrican-med-journal.com)
- early cholecystectomy is known to significantly reduce the costs in patients with acute cholecystitis. (panafrican-med-journal.com)
- The general view in the treatment of acute cholecystitis (AC) is to firstly administer conservative therapy to prevent possible complications associated with inflammation and then after 6 to 8 weeks, to perform laparoscopic cholecystectomy [ 3 ]. (panafrican-med-journal.com)
- Surgery
- However if the diagnosis is established during intraoperative cholangiography, the surgeon is confronted with a therapeutic dilemma that is, the choice between laparoscopic common bile duct exploration, conversion to open surgery, or postoperative sphincterotomy. (sages.org)
- Patients were divided in two groups: those managed by means of laparoscopic surgery, and those who underwent open surgery. (infona.pl)
- Based on the analysis of both questionnaires, it was determined that a better postoperative quality of life was experienced by the patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery. (infona.pl)
- diagnosis
- we aimed to compare the outcomes of the patients to whom we applied early or late cholecystectomy after hospitalization from the emergency department with the diagnosis of AC between March 2012-2015. (panafrican-med-journal.com)
- patients
- The mean observation period for group I patients totaled 22.06 ± 10.98 months, while that of group II patients totaled 22.12 ± 3.41 months after cholecystectomy. (infona.pl)
- Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is highly recommended for the treatment of patients with concomitant cardiovascular disease, due to the quality of life experienced postoperatively. (infona.pl)
- Moreover, more complications were seen in the patients who underwent early cholecystectomy although the difference was not statistically significant. (panafrican-med-journal.com)
- perform
- In order to show how easy can be to perform a laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE), we showed a video to 20 general surgeons, and then invited them to the laboratory where we set the SIMULAP for common bile duct exploration with a flexible choledocoscope. (sages.org)

- Results
- The major advantages of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) include less postoperative pain, less time required for hospitalization and recovery, and better cosmetic results [ 2 ]. (panafrican-med-journal.com)
