Complications of Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Literature Review

Résumé fourni par la source

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become the gold standard for the treatment of symptomatic cholelithiasis and other gallbladder conditions, as it offers shorter hospitalization times and quicker recovery compared to open surgery. However, despite its advantages, serious complications such as bile duct injuries, hemorrhage, infections, and anesthetic complications can occur. This review analyzes the primary complications associated with this procedure and discusses the importance of adequate training, meticulous surgical techniques, and appropriate perioperative management. It concludes that although the overall incidence of complications is considered low, the consequences can significantly impact morbidity and mortality, underscoring the necessity of continuous improvement of surgical teams and well-established protocols.
