A study of impact of gender on operative findings and outcome in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Abstract: Background: Gallstone disease (GSD) is a prevalent health problem around the globe and the treatment of choice for symptomatic GSD is laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). There are many factors that influence the operative findings, conversion rates and the outcome of surgery. Male gender has been considered by some to be an adverse factor in this regard. Through this study we intend to find out the role of gender in the operative findings and outcome of laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Methods: All the patients und… Show more

Thus, identification of risk factors for conversion is important for better surgical planning and to avoid complications.…”
