ABSTRACT
Aim:
The aim is to evaluate laparoscopic cholecystectomy safety based on American Society of Anesthesiologists score for acute cholecystitis in patients with comorbidities. Patients &methods:
This is retrospective study of patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis between 2003 and 2021. According to their respective ASA-score, patients were divided into group 1 ASA1-2 and group 2 ASA3-4.Results:
We collected 578 patients. Even though the gangrenous forms were more frequent and the operative time was longer in group 2, laparoscopic cholecystectomy seems safe and effective. We didn't observe any differences in terms of intraoperative incidents, open conversion rate, or postoperative complications compared with other patients.Conclusion:
ASA3-4 patients with acute cholecystitis don't face elevated risks of complications or mortality during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
This study, involving 578 patients with acute cholecystitis, assessed the safety of early laparoscopic cholecystectomy based on their health scores. Despite longer operative times and more gangrenous forms in higher-scored patients, laparoscopic cholecystectomy was found to be safe and effective. No significant differences in complications or mortality were observed compared with lower-scored patients. In conclusion, early laparoscopic cholecystectomy is considered a safe option for patients with higher health scores facing acute cholecystitis.
