Study is designed to investigate whether the history of ERCP is associated with subtotal cholecystectomy rates in patients underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy operations with the diagnosis of acute cholecystitis.
The results of patients who underwent surgery for acute cholecystitis in a single center between January 2016 and December 2019 were included and evaluated retrospectively. Primary outcome was subtotal cholecystectomy rate. Secondary outcomes were conversion to open, complications and serious complications. Within examining demographic findings, operative records (rates for subtotal cholecystectomy and conversion to open, operative duration) and follow-up results (postoperative complications, serious complications, length of hospital stay and mortality) for all cases were investigated. Complications that Clavien-Dindo Score ≥ 3 accepted as serious complication. Intraoperative detection of gallbladder perforation was also noted and included in comparison. Any biliary tract complication that needed any percutaneous or endoscopic intervention to handle was named as "biliary leak" in the study.
