Overview

Gallbladder removal, cholecystectomy, can be accomplished by the open surgery or a laparoscopic procedure. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the operation of choice in uncomplicated calculous cholecystitis. Open cholecystectomy may be performed in complicated cases or when trained/skilled personal for laparoscopic procedure is not available. Supportive measures are instituted in the meantime to prepare the patient for surgery. These measures include fluid resuscitation and antibiotics. Antibiotic regimens usually consist of a broad spectrum cephalosporin such as ceftriaxone and an antibacterial with good cover against anaerobic bacteria, such as metronidazole.

Surgery

Removal of the gallbladder may be done by open surgery or a laparoscopic approach. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the procedure of choice in uncomplicated calculous cholecystitis. Open cholecystectomy may be performed in complicated cases or when trained or skilled personal for laparoscopic procedure is not available. Supportive measures such as fluid resuscitation and antibiotics are instituted in the meantime to prepare the patient for surgery. Antibiotic regimens usually consist of a broad spectrum cephalosporin such as ceftriaxone and an antibacterial with good cover against anaerobic bacteria, such as metronidazole.[1][2]

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure and has various indications in addition to the chronic cholecystitis. There are two main types of procedures used for the laparoscopic cholecystectomy ; Single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) and conventional multiport laparoscopic cholecystectomy (CMLC).[3][4][5][6]

  • Single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC)
    • As compared to CMLC, SILC has the following features:
      • Improved cosmetic results
      • Decreased postoperative pain
      • Increased operative time
      • Increased intraoperative blood loss
  • Conventional multiport laparoscopic cholecystectomy (CMLC)
    • As compared to SILC, CMLC has the following features:
      • Decreased operative time
      • Decreased intra-operative blood loss

Indications

Contraindications

The contraindications of laparoscopic cholecystitis include:[1][2]

Major Complications of cholecystectomy

The major complications associated with the cholecystectomy are:[7]

Percutaneous cholecystostomy

Percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) is an alternative to emergency cholecystectomy in complicated cases of high-risk patients.[8][9][10]
