Article Abstract
In this article, we discuss preoperative clinical evaluation, diagnostic considerations, and the role/choice of antibiotics. Operative planning is discussed with attention to patient characteristics/disease condition as they may inform consideration of alternative operative approaches. Detailed steps of laparoscopic, robotic-assisted, and open cholecystectomy are discussed. Indications and operative steps for intraoperative cholangiogram and laparoscopic transcystic common bile duct exploration are included. We conclude with postoperative care, including evaluation of common complications and necessary management considerations.

Frequency and Predictors of Conversion From Laparoscopic to Open Cholecystectomy: A Single-Center Observational Study.
Cureus
December 2024
General Surgery, Hayatabad Medical Complex Peshawar, Peshawar, PAK.
Objective: The study aimed to investigate the rate of conversion from laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) to open cholecystectomy (OC) in our population and determine the potential risk factors associated with it. Understanding these factors helps surgeons predict complex cases and plan surgeries, reducing patient risks and improving outcomes.
Methodology: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted from June 1, 2022, to May 31, 2023, at Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar, on 349 patients undergoing elective LC.
