Background: To date, the topically effect of hyperoxygenated fatty acids (HOFA) on the control of surgical site infection (SSI) is still unclear.
Objective: To assess the effect of topical application of a HOFA solution on the umbilical trocar site after laparoscopic cholecystectomy on SSI. The occurrence of trocar site incisional hernia (TSIH) was also analyzed.
Introduction: Acute cholecystitis treatment may initially be surgical or conservative with subsequent surgery; we reviewed the cases found in our centre, including their treatment and outcome.
Material And Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of treatment in 178 patients with acute cholecystitis during one year. We evaluated variables associated with patient characteristics, as well as clinical data, diagnostic tests, treatment and outcome.
