Abstract

Introduction. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a method of choice for surgical treatment of diseases of gallbladder. Although most surgeons today use laparoscopic cholecystectomy in treatment of severe acute cholecystitis, most surgeons still consider acute cholecystitis a relevant contraindication for laparoscopic cholecystectomy because of ?confused? anatomy and ?severe? pathology. Aim of the study was to analyze laparoscopic cholecystectomy outcomes in treatment of acute cholecystitis. Material and methods. A prospective analysis included 78 patients operated for acute calculose cholecystitis from Jan 2007 to Dec 2008. We analyzed clinical characteristics of the course of disease, associated diseases, duration of operation, operative and postoperative complications, reasons for conversion into open cholecystectomy. Results. The study indicated a low percentage of operative and postoperative complications, short stay in hospital, quick recovery and saving in treatment. The length of preoperative and postoperative hospitalization was 1.4?0.5 days and 2.5?1.6 days, respectively. 25 (32%) patients were operated within 72 hours from the onset of symptoms, some operative difficulties were present in 56 (71%) patients, light identification of artery and ductus cysticus in 30 (38.5%) patients, intraoperative lesion of ductus choledohus in 1 (1.3%); in 6 (7.7%) patients conversion into open cholecystectomy was done, the average duration of laparascopic cholecystectomy was 58.1?26.2 min. There were no lethal outcomes. Conclusion. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is an efficient and reliable operative procedure in treatment of acute cholecystitis. It is much easier to select patients for laparoscopic cholecystectomy when preoperative risk factors predicting difficulties during the operation are known. An early conversion into open cholecystectomy is a rational choice of any surgeon when anatomy is not clear and in cases of advanced inflammatory process in order to decrease operative and postoperative morbidity.
