In laparoscopic cholecystectomy conversion to open surgery occurs. Patients who would otherwise need conversion can benefit from laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy (LSC). We present a review of studies in which outcome after LSC has been investigated. The results show reduced conversion rates, shorter hospital stay, minimal complications and mortality rates. Acute cholecystitis, cirrhosis, Mirrizi syndrome type I are the indications for LSC. Randomized prospective trials are needed to investigate safety and long-term effects.

Background: Gastric stump neoplasia is defined as a neoplasia that arises in the gastric remnant after at least 5 years of interval from the first gastric resection.
Aims: The aim of this study was to analyze 51 patients who underwent total and subtotal gastrectomy and multi-visceral resections in patients with gastric stump cancer.
Methods: The hospital records of 51 patients surgically treated for gastric stump cancer between 1989 and 2019 were reviewed.

Background: There are few reported outcomes of treatment of acute cholecystitis incorporating current guidelines for gallbladder dissection techniques and use of percutaneous tube cholecystostomy (PCT). The authors hypothesize PCT allows regression of peritoneal inflammation, but infundibular inflammation is increased at interval cholecystectomy, resulting in greater requirement for advanced dissection techniques.
Methods: Between December 2009 and July 2023, 1222 patients were admitted with acute cholecystitis and ultimately underwent cholecystectomy.

Gallbladder disease is a frequent indication for non-obstetric surgical intervention during pregnancy. Gallbladder perforation (GBP) during pregnancy is an uncommon but severe pathology that usually requires immediate attention, and it represents a challenge for surgeons. We present the case of a GBP in a pregnant patient alongside a discussion of available surgical approaches.

Acute cholecystitis during pregnancy presents significant risks, requiring careful management to balance maternal and fetal health. Conflicting viewpoints exist on conservative versus surgical treatment, particularly in the third trimester. Here, we present a case of a woman in her early 40s at 34 weeks of gestational age with acute cholecystitis and signs of preterm labour.
