“…More than one-third (39.4%) stated that they had a good quality of life, (28.8%) had a very good quality of life, and (22.4%) had an excellent quality of life, while (4.1%) of the participants had a very poor quality of life and (5.4%) had poor quality of life, similar findings were found in the parallel study conducted by Atif et al which also revealed that most of the participants had improved quality of life following cholecystectomy [22].…”

Objectives: Post-cholecystectomy syndrome (PCS) refers to the continuation or recurrence of biliary colic and any other gastrointestinal symptoms present prior to cholecystectomy. Given that PCS is rare and underestimated in Saudi Arabia, this study aimed to determine the prevalence of PCS among Saudis.Methods: This cross-sectional study included randomly gathered subjects who self-administered the validated European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer QLQ-C30 questionnaire from September 6 to October 7, 2022.Results: A total of 518 participants who underwent cholecystectomies were included; most were female (73.6%), 153 (29.5%) were 19 to 25 years old, and the vast majority were Saudi Arabian (91.1%). The average preoperative weight was 71 ± 20.7 kg (range 20 to 258), and the mean current weight was 69 ± 19.4 kg (range 30 to 257). About 137 (26.4%) had a chronic disease, most frequently hypertension (37.2%). In the past week, most participants experienced some trouble doing strenuous activities (42.9%), slight pain (37.6%), fatigue (32.2%), insomnia (37.5%), and weakness (38.2%). There were no significant associations between age, nationality, or residence with the QLQ-C30 score (P-value = 0.152, 0.262, 0.071, respectively). A significant association was observed between gender and QLQ-C30 score (P-value < 0.001), with females scoring higher than their male counterparts. Females also reported having a higher quality of life than males.Conclusions: The prevalence of PCS was higher than reported elsewhere.

“…This treatment is currently the standard approach for a range of illnesses, ranging from symptomatic cholelithiasis and chronic cholecystitis to more severe problems such as gallstone pancreatitis [14]. LC is extensively utilized in high-income nations due to its numerous benefits [15], including reduced hospital stays, quicker recovery periods, and decreased expenses [16]. The safety of this product is remarkable, with an impressively low mortality rate ranging from 0.22% to 0.4% [17].…”

“…Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, a minimally invasive surgical procedure for gallbladder removal, has emerged as the preferred approach due to its numerous advantages over traditional open surgery. These include smaller incisions, reduced blood loss, less pain, lower infection rates, and quicker patient recovery (1,2). However, the success of this procedure under general anesthesia hinges on effective airway management, which directly influences patient safety, hemodynamics, oxygenation, ventilation, and the potential for postoperative complications (3,4).…”

: This study aimed to compare the Baska mask and the endotracheal tube, two devices used to manage patient airways during laparoscopic surgery. Fifty patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomly assigned to receive either the Baska mask or the endotracheal tube. Data on patients’ demographic and physical status, as well as their heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen level, and ease of device insertion, were collected. The mean BMI for the Baska mask group was 24.68 kg/m² (± 4), and for the Endotracheal tube group, it was 24.83 kg/m² (± 4.14), showing no significant difference (P = 0.9768). However, significant differences were observed in hemodynamic parameters. Patients in the endotracheal tube group exhibited higher heart rates, blood pressure, and mean arterial pressure, indicating more cardiovascular stress than those in the Baska mask group. The endotracheal tube also caused more throat irritation, with more patients reporting post-surgery sore throat. The Baska mask was found to be easier and quicker to insert, requiring less skill and time. Both devices provided adequate oxygenation, but the endotracheal tube had more negative effects on the cardiovascular system and throat. In conclusion, the Baska mask could be a better alternative for laparoscopic surgery, improving both physiological parameters and patient comfort.
