Abstract
Objective To verify the effectiveness of minicholecystectomy in a short hospital stay environment.
Design Review of medical records of an on going prospective study.
Setting Surgical ward of a University Hospital.
Intervention minicholecystectomy.
Main outcome measures Complications, length of hospital stay, feasibility in a day surgery environment.
Results Of the 758 patients who underwent cholecystectomy, 702 (92.6%) were admitted for day surgery, 62.8% of whom were discharged in less than 12 hours, 28.6% in 24 hours or less, and 8.6% in more than 24 hours. Major complication rate was 0.2%; two cases required reoperation and interventional radiology drainage respectively.
Conclusions Minicholecystectomy is safe and suitable as a day-surgery procedure.
