“…In the study reported in 2013, cases accompanied with hemolytic disease among 453 pediatric patients with gallbladder disease decreased from 12.1% during period of 2003-2007 to 8.7% during the period of 2008-2012 [5]. This study also found hemolytic disease in 5 patients (10.6%) with gallbladder disease although the number was small, 4 of them had gallstones.…”

“…Walker et al [5] [7]. Such an increase in pediatric cholecystectomy may be a result of increases in the average BMI, non-hemolytic cholelithiasis, and biliary dyskinesia [5]. Between the two periods investigated in the present study, despite the number of total surgery was increased 1.3 times, the number of cholecystectomy in the late group increased 2.6 times compared to that in the early group.…”

“…Recently, however, several studies reported that pediatric cholecystectomy is in an increasing trend. Walker et al [5] [7]. Such an increase in pediatric cholecystectomy may be a result of increases in the average BMI, non-hemolytic cholelithiasis, and biliary dyskinesia [5].…”

“…Since then, the prevalence gradually increased and was reported to be 1.9% to as high as 4.0% through 2000 in several studies [2][3][4]. According to one study, the number of cases with laparoscopic or open cholecystectomy registered at the US national KID (Kid's Inpatient Database) increased from 4,767 cases in 1997 to 7,652 cases in 2009 [5].…”

Purpose: Number of pediatric cholecystectomy has been recently showing a gradually increasing trend. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical features of patients who underwent pediatric cholecystectomy, and the latest trend in cholecystectomy. Methods: In the present study, we conducted a retrospective chart review on 47 patients who had undergone cholecystectomy at a single center. The entire patient population was divided into two groups, according to the time of cholecystectomy (early group, January 1999 to December 2006; late group, January 2007 to August 2014). Results:The comparison between the early and late groups showed that the number of cholecystectomy increased from 13 to 34 cases representing a 2.6-fold increase. The mean patient age also increased from 5.94±4.08 years to 10.51±5.57 years (p=0.01). Meanwhile, laparoscopic surgery also increased from 15.4% to 79.4%, respectively (p＜0.001). However, sex, mean body mass index, comorbidities, indications of cholecystectomy, and previous total parenteral nutrition were not statistically significant. Conclusion:The results of this study showed that pediatric cholecystectomy cases are increasing, particularly in the 10 to 19 years age group and laparoscopic cholecystectomies are also being performed at an increasing rate. When the patients were compared according to the time of cholecystectomy, there were no differences in other risk factors or indications for cholecystectomy.
