Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Determination of Severity of Acute Cholecystitis. Comparison of Access-Port Locations and Diameters for Conventional Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy, Mini-Laparoscopic ...

Background: The use of elective cholecystectomy has increased dramatically following the widespread adoption of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We sought to determine whether this increase has resulted ...

Robotic-assisted cholecystectomy was associated with more than double the risk for bile duct injury (BDI) requiring operative repair compared with laparoscopic cholecystectomy among Medicare ...

While rates of bile duct injury were similar with robotic-assisted cholecystectomy and laparoscopic cholecystectomy among adults receiving acute care surgery, the robotic-assisted approach was ...

More than 90% of cases of acute cholecystitis are associated with cholelithiasis (acute calculous cholecystitis). The key elements in pathogenesis seem to be an obstruction of the cystic duct in the ...

Cholecystitis is inflammation of the gallbladder. Doctors usually treat cholecystitis by surgically removing this organ, known as a cholecystectomy. Cholecystitis is inflammation of the gallbladder, ...

A person may require gallbladder removal surgery if other treatments do not relieve the inflammation and pain from gallstones and related issues. Cholecystectomy is the medical term for gallbladder ...

As robotic cholecystectomy, also known as gallbladder removal, becomes increasingly common, researchers have identified higher rates of bile duct injury in robotic cholecystectomy compared to the ...

In Medicare beneficiaries with varying levels of risk for adverse postoperative outcomes, the rate of bile duct injury is three times higher with robotic-assisted cholecystectomy than with ...
