Abstract:
Objective To discuss the prevention and treatment for complications following laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Methods A total of 902 cases were summarized retrospectively with regard to causes, prevention and treatment of complications following LC. Results Out of the 902 cases, there were 2 cases of bile duct injury, 2 cases of residual calculi of common bile duct, and 4 cases of scrotum emphysema. The bile duct injury and residual calculi were all cured by re-operation, while the scrotum emphysema dissolved of itself without medical treatment. A conversion to open surgery was required in 31 cases. All the cases in the study were cured. Conclusions Emphasis should be laid on the prevention of complications after LC. A prompt conversion to open cholecystectomy is the key to the lowering of complication rate.
