Day case laparoscopic cholecystectomy: Identifying patients for a ‘COVID-Cold’ isolated day-case unit during the pandemic

Abstract: Background The UK practice of laparoscopic cholecystectomy has reduced during the COVID-19 pandemic due to cancellation of non-urgent operations. Isolated day-case units have been recommended as ‘COVID-cold’ operating sites to resume surgical procedures. This study aims to identify patients suitable for day case laparoscopic cholecystectomy (DCLC) at isolated units by investigating patient factors and unexpected admission. Method Retrospective analysis of 327 patients undergoing DCLC between January and Decemb… Show more

“…The number of elective laparoscopic cholecystectomies performed in the United Kingdom decreased during the COVID-19 outbreak. Isolated day-case units were suggested as COVID-19-cold operating locations, allowing surgical operations to restart [ 56 ]. In Brazil, the number of kidney transplants performed per million individuals decreased by 23.9% during the pandemic [ 57 ].…”

“…Frontline surgeons also reported concerns about perceived suboptimal institutional strategies to protect staff from infection risks [ 78 ]. Conflicting guidelines on approaches, such as laparoscopic surgery in patients with COVID-19, further complicated delivery [ 56 ]. However, most surgeons worldwide continued to perform urgent operations on infected patients despite the overall decrease in surgical volume.…”

“…Dass die frühe Entlassung von Patienten nach CHE nicht zu einer erhöhten Komplikationsrate führt, war nicht nur in dieser Untersuchung zu beobachten, sondern konnte auch in anderen Studien gezeigt werden [ 17 , 18 ]. Teilweise wurden sogar ambulante Gallenblasenoperationen verstärkt durchgeführt, um Patienten mit Notwendigkeit zur CHE die Operation während der COVID-19-Pandemie zu ermöglichen [ 19 ]. Vor allem ältere Patienten mit CHE schienen mehr von den Verzögerungen, die im Rahmen der Diagnostik und Therapie während der COVID-19-Pandemie auftraten, betroffen zu sein.…”

“…Es ist sicher nicht übertrieben, zu sagen, dass durch die COVID-19-Pandemie einige chirurgische Standards in ihren Grundfesten erschüttert wurden. Die Verstärkung konservativer Therapieverfahren bei der akuten Appendizitis und der akuten Cholezystitis sind als Beispiel zu nennen; die Ergebnisse sind für Patienten und Chirurgen mit gemischten Erfolgen verbunden [ 3 , 5 , 10 , 19 , 20 ]. Einige dieser Veränderungen werden sich wahrscheinlich dennoch durchsetzen und sich ggf.…”
