Abstract

Purpose: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has replaced open cholecystectomy as the standard treatment and it has widely gained rapid acceptance. However, laparoscopic cholecystectomy has many complications and it can require conversion to open cholecystectomy or further management. We reviewed our cases for determining the complications and clinical results in order to improve the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in our hospital. Methods: The data from 3,224 laparoscopic cholecystectomies that were performed at our hospital from January 1995 to December 2004 were reviewed retrospectively. The pre-operative laboratory data, operative findings, post-operative pathologic findings, complications and proper treatment were evaluated. Results: 52 of all the patients developed complications. The median patient age was 51.8⁑11.6 years, and the median admission time was 29.9⁑10.6 days. The most common complications were post operative bleeding (20 case), and bile duct injury (15 cases). A collection of bile was noted in 12 cases. The treatment of complications were operations (16 case) radiologic interventions (14 case), and observation with conservative management (22 case). Conclusion: There were various complications of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and these patients needed a longer hospital stay and operative treatment. So, improvement of surgeons' skill with a carefully approach and better understanding of the anatomical variations of the biliary tree andvascular system, recognition of pre-operative patients' general condition and the severity of inflammation, and prompt and proper management for complications should be done to prevent serious problems.
