Antibiotic Prophylaxis for Elective Pediatric Laparoscopic Cholecystectomies

Journal of Pediatric Surgery
The Surgical Infection Society (SIS) guidelines recommend against the use of surgical antibiotic prophylaxis (SAP) for low-risk patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomies.Using National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) data, 5440 pediatric patients were identified who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy from 2021 to 2022.

Preoperative predictors of conversion in elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Saudi Surgical Journal, 2019
Introduction: Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy, the gold standard for management of gall stone disease, has a conversion rate of 1.6%-20% at different centers. We audited our elective laparoscopic cholecystectomies, to enable preoperative prediction of the probability of conversion.

The outcomes of elective laparoscopic and open cholecystectomies.

Journal of the American College of Surgeons, 1995
The demand for evidence of effectiveness for medical care has prompted the development of epidemiologic approaches to relating the outcomes of care to treatment. This study compares the outcomes of care for patients undergoing the newly introduced laparoscopic cholecystectomy with the results from conventional open cholecystectomies.Consecutive cases ...
