Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the outcomes of laparoscopic cholecystectomies specifically in high-risk patients categorized as ASA 3 and 4, identifying crucial risk factors that could influence management strategies.
- Data for the research was gathered from a database of 244 cases handled by 13 surgeons, with key findings including a significant percentage of patients exhibiting complications and varying lengths of hospital stays, and only a small number of serious adverse outcomes.
- The conclusion suggests that laparoscopic cholecystectomies are relatively safe for high-risk groups, and alternative procedures like cholecystostomy and ERCP may offer additional benefits in their management.
