“…In those patients with clinically suspected common bile duct stones, approximately 10-25% will be found to have stones when imaged or explored. While some authors advocate intraoperative cholangiography in all patients undergoing the procedure [5,6], this is not universally accepted [16,17]. Our patient did not undergo preoperative or intraoperative cholangiography because of her age and normal liver function tests.…”

Six patients underwent imaging studies to evaluate complications related to laparoscopic cholecystectomy. In addition, computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen and pelvis was performed on six patients 3-5 days after uncomplicated laparoscopic cholecystectomy in order to further clarify the normal postoperative CT appearance in these patients. Complications included ureteral laceration with periureteric hematoma and ureteroperitoneal fistula, hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm, hepatic laceration, retained common bile duct stone, bile leak, and biloma of the abdominal wall. At 3-5 days following uncomplicated laparoscopic cholecystectomy, typical CT findings include fluid density in the gallbladder fossa, a very small amount of pelvic fluid, and small densities within the subcutaneous fat at the expected sites of trocar insertion.

BACKGROUNDLaparoscopic cholecystectomy has become the standard treatment for symptomatic gall bladder disease. However, there is still a substantial proportion of patients in whom Laparoscopic cholecystectomy cannot be successfully performed, and for whom conversion to open surgery is required. Aim-In the present study we studied the various reasons for conversion of laparoscopic cholecystectomy to open cholecystectomy and complications associated with this procedure in a tertiary care centre at the turn of the century. Setting and Design-It is a retrospective, randomised study conducted over a period of 8 years.

“…Voyles. The laparoscopic procedure was completed in 95 % of the patients, There was no mortality or bile duct injury, concluded that laparoscopic cholecystectomy was a safe procedure in the treatment of gallbladder disease (4). The Southern Surgeons Club described 1518 laparoscopic cholecystectomies in prospective analysis, With respect to mortality, complications and length of hospital stay.…”
