Optimal timing of cholecystectomy after percutaneous gallbladder drainage for severe cholecystitis
BMC Gastroenterology, 2017 Background The Tokyo guideline for acute cholecystitis recommended percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage followed by cholecystectomy for severe acute cholecystitis, but the optimal timing for the subsequent cholecystectomy remains controversial.

Multivariate Comparison of Complications After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy and Open Cholecystectomy
Annals of Surgery, 1995 To answer the question whether laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) or open cholecystectomy (OC) is safer in terms of complications, the authors evaluated complications relating to 1440 cholecystectomies performed by the same surgeons in a retrospective study.A definite pronouncement on whether LC truly is superior to OC is not possible because ...

Factors Necessitating Conversion of Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy to Open Cholecystectomy [PDF]
Gallbladder stones continue to be the leading cause of abdominal morbidity and affect a large portion of the population in many different countries across the world. The goal of this study was to determine the conversion rate and identify the factors responsible for conversion of laparoscopic cholecystectomy to open cholecystecto-my.

Interactive Surgical Liver Phantom for Cholecystectomy Training [PDF]
arXivTraining and prototype development in robot-assisted surgery requires appropriate and safe environments for the execution of surgical procedures. Current dry lab laparoscopy phantoms often lack the ability to mimic complex, interactive surgical tasks. This work presents an interactive surgical phantom for the cholecystectomy.
