Conversion cholecystectomy in patients with acute cholecystitis—it’s not as black as it’s painted!

Abstract: Conversion cholecystectomy in patients with acute cholecystitis-it's not as black as it's painted! Problem: Obwohl die laparoskopische Cholezystektomie als Standardverfahren in der Behandlung der akuten Cholezystitis empfohlen wird, ist bei 10-30% der Patienten eine Konversion auf ein offenes operatives Verfahren notwendig. Diese Konversion wird in der chirurgischen Fachwelt zum Teil immer noch als Komplikation oder persönliches Versagen des Operateurs angesehen. Das Ziel dieser Studie war es, eine Charakteris… Show more

“…Severe inflammation, anatomic anomalies, and bleeding risks make conversion a reasonable consideration and should not be viewed as a complication of care. 15 A particularly interesting part of this study of OC and in our prior studies of inpatient LC has been the preponderance of adverse outcomes that occur after discharge. Postoperative deaths and readmissions represent 65-70 per cent of the adverse events that occur in the 90 days of the postdischarge period of time.…”

“…Previously, conversion to open surgery has been used as a marker of difficulty 9,[15][16][17][18] ; however, this metric may be skewed as surgeons to perform a subtotal cholecystectomy when faced with a hostile hepatobiliary triangle. Therefore, using the achievement of the CVS may be a more accurate indicator of procedural difficulty.…”

“…The rate of conversion is anywhere from 2%-23% The risk factors for conversion include male sex, leukocytosis, hyperglycemia, elevated serum amylase, and presence of co-morbidities. Delay in the presentation to the hospital with symptoms of acute cholecystitis also increases the risk of conversion [38][39][40][41][42]…”
