Objective Clinicians are very cautious on operationsof laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC) in patients with cirrhosis because of its high risk.And few researches were carried out on this situation.This article aimed to summarize the LC in cirrhotic patients with cholecystolithiasis and cholecystitis, observe the clinical therapeutic effect and analyze the feasibility of this treatment.Methods The clinical data of 112 operation cases of cholecystolithiasis and cholecystitiswith cirrhosis were retrospectively analyzed from January 2012 to December 2015 in Department of General Surgery, Changzhou Third People's Hospital.According to different surgical methods, all patients were divided into laparoscopic cholecystectomy group (n=56) and open cholecystectomy group (n=56).Peroperative period indicators including operation time, intraoperative blood loss, Postoperative exhaust time, postoperative hospital stay and complications were recorded, data were analyzed to evaluate the clinical effect.Results Compared with open cholecystectomy group, laparoscopic cholecystectomy group had shorter operative time[(54.28±15.34)min vs (91.63±20.09)min,P=0.000];less intraoperative blood loss[(73.42±4.28)mL vs (98.54±7.16)mL,P=0.000], shorter Postoperative exhaust time and postoperative hospital stay(P=0.000).The complication incidence in laparoscopic cholecystectomy group were lower than that in open cholecystectomy group(7.14% vs 21.43%, P<0.05).Conclusion Operation of laparoscopic cholecystectomy on cirrhotic patients has a high clinical efficacy.It is safe and feasible to carry out such an operation on the basis of strict indication and reasonable risk assessment.
