Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitisAhmet Tekin, Tevfik Küçükkartallar, Metin Belviranlı, Celalettin Vatansev, Faruk Aksoy, Şakir Tekin, Adil KartalSelcuk University Meram Medical Faculty Department Of General SurgeryBACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to assess the clinical results of treatment by laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in patients with acute cholecystitis. METHODS: Between 1994 and 2006, LC was performed in 3876 patients in Selcuk University Meram Medicine Faculty. The clinical, biochemical, radiologic, and operative data of 182 (101 F, 81 M) consecutive patients with acute cholecystitis operated 3 days after the onset of symptoms were analyzed retrospectively to determine the complications and morbidity after operation. RESULTS: The conversion rate was 31 (17.03%) in acute cholecystitis. Postoperative length of stay was found as 4 days in the successful LC group and 7 days in the conversion group. For acute cholecystitis, we found a statistical difference between the successful LC group and the conversion group in terms of length of postoperative hospitalization time and gallbladder wall thickness. We identified the following factors as associated with conversion: male gender, pericholecystic collection seen on ultrasound, gangrenous cholecystitis, and gallbladder wall thickness >1 cm. CONCLUSION: LC is a safe approach in selected patients with acute cholecystitis. Male gender, pericholecystic collection seen on ultrasound, gangrenous cholecystitis, and gallbladder wall thickness >1 cm are associated with a higher risk of conversion to open surgery.

GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Selçuk Üniversitesi Meram Tıp Fakültesi’nde Ocak 1994 ile Aralık 2006 yılları arasında 3876 hastaya LK yapıldı. Bunlardan 182 hastaya (101 kadın, 81 erkek) semptomların başlamasından itibaren ilk üç gün içinde kolesistektomi uygulandı. Hastaların dosyaları klinik, biyokimyasal, radyolojik ve ameliyat bulguları, ameliyat sonrası komplikasyon ve morbiditeye etkisini saptamak için geriye dönük olarak değerlendirildi.
