Article Synopsis
- The study addresses the lack of consensus on when to perform cholecystectomy for patients with uncomplicated gallstone disease, aiming to create a predictive model for better patient selection for surgery.
- Data from two large Dutch trials involving 1561 patients were analyzed to assess characteristics, comorbidities, and outcomes related to surgery, focusing on pain relief post-operation.
- The prediction model created from the data suggests that factors like age, surgical history, and initial pain levels can predict a patient's likelihood of achieving significant pain relief after gallbladder surgery.
Background: Operating room planning is a complex task as pre-operative estimations of procedure duration have a limited accuracy. This is due to large variations in the course of procedures. Therefore, information about the progress of procedures is essential to adapt the daily operating room schedule accordingly.

Background: Previous studies have suggested that sigmoidectomy with primary anastomosis is superior to Hartmann's procedure. The likelihood of stoma reversal after primary anastomosis has been reported to be higher and reversal seems to be associated with lower morbidity and mortality. Although promising, results from these previous studies remain uncertain because of potential selection bias.

Lancet
June 2019
Background: International guidelines advise laparoscopic cholecystectomy to treat symptomatic, uncomplicated gallstones. Usual care regarding cholecystectomy is associated with practice variation and persistent post-cholecystectomy pain in 10-41% of patients. We aimed to compare the non-inferiority of a restrictive strategy with stepwise selection with usual care to assess (in)efficient use of cholecystectomy.

Recently, two randomized clinical trials (AVOD trial and DIABOLO trial) published short-term results of omitting antibiotics compared to routine antibiotic treatment. Both showed no significant differences regarding recovery from the initial episode, as well as rates of complicated or recurrent diverticulitis and sigmoid resection.
