Article Synopsis
- Drains are often used to manage abdominal fluid collections after surgical procedures, but their necessity, especially after cholecystectomy, is debated.
- This study analyzed data from over 6,000 laparoscopic cholecystectomies to assess the outcomes and indications for using sub-hepatic drains in patients, particularly focusing on those undergoing emergency surgeries.
- Results indicated that while drains were frequently used, complications were minimal, and many post-operative issues resolved spontaneously, suggesting a selective approach to drainage might be beneficial.
The 'Basket-in-Catheter' (BIC) technique facilitates basket-only laparoscopic transcystic exploration (LTCE), increasing its success rate. Using the cholangiography catheter as a sheath is easier and safer than inserting the wire basket-alone. This study evaluates its benefits in confirmed and suspected ductal stones.
