“…Compared with other general surgery procedures, this present study showed a similar recovery time needed to return to work. An observational study published in 2015 showed that mean return to work after general surgery (laparoscopic cholecystectomy, unilateral inguinal hernia and hemorrhoidectomy) was 35.7 days [10]. The reasons for not returning earlier to work were fear of complications (37.5%), pain control (37.5%), surgeon recommendation (12.5%) and general practitioner recommendation (12.5%).…”

“…Based on similar studies, 100 patients were considered sufficient for the purpose of the study [10, 11]. Continuous variables were presented as mean (standard deviation, SD) or median (interquartile range, IQR) according to their distribution (Shapiro–Wilk test) and compared with Mann–Whitney U test or Kruskal–Wallis test when appropriate.…”

Background Cholecystectomy, a type of surgery commonly performed globally, has possible mutual effects on the socioeconomic conditions of different countries due to various postoperative recovery times. Aims This study evaluated the medical and socioeconomic factors affecting delayed return-to-work (RTW) time after elective cholecystectomy. Methods This retrospective study analysed patients who underwent elective cholecystectomy for benign gallbladder diseases from January 2022 to April 2023. The patients’ medical and socioeconomic data were collected to investigate the clinical and socioeconomic factors correlated with RTW time of >30 days after surgery. Results This study included 180 consecutive patients. Significant correlations were found between delayed RTW time (>30 days) and age (odds ratio [OR]: 1.059, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.008–1.113, P = 0.024), lack of medical insurance (OR: 2.935, 95% CI 1.189–7.249, P = 0.02) and high-intensity labour jobs (OR: 3.649, 95% CI 1.495–8.909, P = 0.004). Patients without medical insurance (26.6 versus 18.9 days) and those with high-intensity labour jobs (23.9 versus 18.8 days) had a higher mean RTW time than those with insurance and a less-intense labour job (P < 0.001). Conclusions After cholecystectomy, older age, lack of medical insurance and high-intensity labour job were correlated with a delayed RTW time. Informing patients about their expected RTW time after surgery can help reduce costs.
