Abstract

Background: Laparoscopic Cholecystitis (LC) of gangrenous Cholecystitis (GC) which is a serious complication of acute Cholecystitis (AC) is challenging especially in the presence of dense inflammatory adhesions and pericholecystic collection. The aim of this study is to clarify the feasibility and safety of LC in GC. Materials and methods: This is a prospective study done in GIT and LAP surgery unit, General Surgery Department in Tanta university hospital between January 2014 and 2018 on 40 cases of GC from 350 cases of laparoscopymanaged AC. Demographic data, intraoperative time, difficulties of the procedure, postoperative ICU admission, and hospital stay and complications were recorded. Results: GC was suggested preoperatively from old age, DM, CVD, fever > 38°C, tachycardia > 90 beats /minute, leucocytosis> 13,000 /cumm and gallbladder wall thickening>4mm and pericholecystic collection. LC introduces shorter time less difficulties intraoperatively, less need for ICU, shorter hospital stay and less frequent postoperative morbidity. Conclusion: The use of LC in GC is feasible and safe.
