Backgrounds: There are controversies among surgeons about prophylaxis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The aim of this study was the assessment of patients’ condition after laparoscopic cholecystectomy without any prophylactic measure. Methods: 100 cases of laparoscopic cholecystectomy without DVT prophylaxis were followed by duplex scanning in the first postopera...

Gallstone disease is the pathologic state of stones or calculi within the gall bladder lumen and biliary tree. A common digestive disorder worldwide, worldwide occurrence varies from 6-20%. The definitive management of symptomatic gallstones is surgical. The two surgical approaches are conventional and laparoscopic. Important intraoperative considerations during laparoscopic cholecystectomy inc...

conclusions laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a safe and feasible technique to manage cholecystocutaneous fistulas. case presentation a 55-year-old male with comorbidities presented with a discharging sinus at the right upper quadrant area after an abdominal wall abscess drainage. a computerized tomography scan showed a biliary fistula. laparoscopic cholecystectomy was carried out successfully. i...

conclusions the results of the present study showed that, in a rural hospital setting in a developing country, laparoscopic cholecystectomy for symptomatic cholelithiasis was associated with shorter hospital stay, less infectious morbidity rates, and reduced costs, compared to open surgery. thus, laparoscopic cholecystectomy should be advised as a routine technique for management of cholelithia...

Background: Identifying risk factors for conversion to open surgery laparoscopic cholecystectomy and factors are difficult to predict cholecystectomy surgery is required. The aim of this study was to evaluate the findings of preoperative ultrasound in predicting the length of laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery. Methods: The present study was performed cross-sectional on 122 patients who unde...

since co2 pneumoperitoneum is the dominant method of laparoscopic exposure due to facility and good view, its physiologic effects are most relevant to the surgeons. co2 pneumoperitoneum may affects hemodynamics by increased intra-abdominal pressure (iap) and the physiologic effects of absorbed co2. the adverse effects of both mechanisms relate directly to the duration of the pneumoperitoneum an...

Laparoscopic surgeries are advantageous over open in terms of minimal tissue handling, earlier return bowel function, less postoperative pain, better cosmesis, lesser duration hospital stay, to full activity and decreased overall cost. The incidence injuries is 0.13%, vascular 0.05-2% abdominal wall 0.2-2%. Therefore, safe entry laparoscopy a major concern. Considering the fact that initial cav...

Although single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy is now widely performed in patients with cholecystitis, some cases require an additional port to complete the procedure. In this study, we focused on risk factor of additional port in this surgery. We performed single-incision cholecystectomy in 75 patients with acute cholecystitis or after cholecystitis between 2010 and 2014 at Gunma Univer...
