Abstract

Background: The utilization of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has emerged as the most accepted and preferred method for managing symptomatic gallstones. The prevailing consensus about the management of acute cholecystitis (AC) is to initially pursue conservative treatment in order to mitigate the risk of problems associated with inflammation. Subsequently, the LC is typically performed after a period of 6 to 8 weeks. Nevertheless, the prevalence of early LC has risen due to the growing proficiency in laparoscopic techniques observed in recent years.

Objective: The main aim of the study is to find the incidence of Common bile duct injury (CBD) & the rate of conversion from LC to open cholecystectomy in treatment of AC and the epidemiological factors related to the patients with AC.

Methods: We conducted a prospective study in Ibn-Sina Hospital —Benghazi, on 123 patients suffering from AC, between first of January 2017 and 30th of June 2018.

Results: Female to male ratio was 6:1, average age was 44.11 ± 16.5 years, conversion rate was 3.3%, there was no complication and average post-operative stay was 2.5 ± 0.88 day.

Conclusions: we concluded that the LC is a clinically proven and reliable surgical intervention for the prompt and efficient treatment of patients suffering from AC.
