Can we predict the risk of conversion in elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy?

Abstract:

AIM:Cholecystectomy is one of the most common operations. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become the golden standard. Yet, conversion to open cholecystectomy is necessary in some patients. However, conversion maybe associated with increased complications and operation time. MATERIAL AND METHODS:The files of 1224 patients patients underwent scheduled elective cholecystectomy were reviewed in a retrospective cohort study. The files of patients who underwent open cholecystectomy operations during the same period were also examined. The demographic data, medical history, operation notes and reasons of conversion were evaluated. RESULTS:The total number of patients who were initiated a laparoscopic operation but converted to open cholecystectomy was 28 (2.28%). A total of 89 patients underwent open cholecystectomy including converted cases. In the regression analysis age, adhesions, edema in the gallbladder, bleeding, previous scar tissue were found to be significantly related to conversion, while sex and higher BMI were not. CONCLUSION:Conversion from laparoscopic to open operations may be inevitable at times. Effort must be done to predict the cases which need conversion to reduce potential complications. KEY WORDS:Conversion, Complication, Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy, Open Cholecystectomy. :La colecistectomia, una delle operazioni di più frequente esecuzione, è diventata il gold standard nella sua realizzazione per via laparoscopica. Tuttavia in alcuni pazienti è necessaria la conversione a laparotomia, che da parte sua potrebbe comportare maggiori complicazioni e tempi operativi prolungati. Sono state esaminare retrospettivamente le cartelle cliniche di 1224 pazienti sottoposti a colecistectomia in elezione programmata, ed anche le cartelle di pazienti sottoposti a colecistectomia laparotomica durante lo stesso periodo, valutando i dati demografici, la storia clinica, i dati dell’intervento e le ragioni della conversione. Il numero dei pazienti il cui intervento è iniziato per via laparoscopica ma poi è stato convertito in colecistectomia laparotomica è stato di 28 (2,28%), su un totale complessivo di 89 pazienti sottoposti a colecistectomia laparotomica. Nell’analisi di regressione, l’età, le aderenze, l’edema nella colecisti, il sanguinamento, il precedente tessuto cicatriziale sono risultati significativamente correlati alla conversione ad intervento laparotomico, mentre non lo erano il sesso e l’indice di massa corporea più elevato. La conversione da operazioni laparoscopica a laparotomica dunque può essere inevitabile. Occorre fare uno sforzo per prevedere i casi che richiedono una conversione per ridurre potenziali complicazioni.
