Cholecystectomy
Conditions
Brief summary
Cold laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold standard for the management of symptomatic vesicular stones. There is considerable controversy as to whether it should be practiced in outpatient surgery or as part of inpatient surgery, regarding to patient safety. Minor surgical procedures, such as anal surgery or simple inguinal hernia interventions, were initially considered eligible for an outpatient procedure. Advances in surgical techniques, anesthesia and early rehabilitation have also made it possible to consider more heavy interventions, such as cholecystectomy. The aim of this study is to identify eligible patients for laparoscopic cholecystectomy in outpatient surgery, taking surgical criteria into account.
