| Abstract | ||
| Gallbladder disease is one of the most mutual procedures done worldwide. Earlier, an open technique was the regular procedure for cholecystectomy. This typically encompassed performing an intraoperative cholangiogram, and individuals regularly had a two to six-day post-operative hospital stay. With the introduction of laparoscopic surgery and the laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the early 1990s, the standards for cholecystectomy have changed to a laparoscopic technique. This technique presented a 30% increase in the overall performance of elective cholecystectomies. Nowadays, 92% of all cholecystectomies are performed laparoscopically. There are numerous signs in performing open cholecystectomies, and this procedure residues a significant part of training for the general surgery resident. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is indicated for the treatment of cholecystitis (acute/chronic), gallstone pancreatitis, acalculous cholecystitis, biliary dyskinesia, symptomatic cholelithiasis, and gallbladder masses/polyps. These indications are the same for an open cholecystectomy. Cases of gallbladder cancers are usually best treated with open cholecystectomy. | ||
