Abstract
TG18 recommends bailout surgery (BOS) for difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy. However, there is not a clear criterion on the decision process on whether to continue laparoscopic BOS or open BOS, and optimal procedure for treatment for the remnant cystic bile duct also awaits discussion. We comparted with open BOS and laparoscopic BOS, and compared with suture close and clipping or ligating of remnant cystic duct. We have accrued 57 patients underwent BOS during study period. Seventeen cases underwent laparoscopic BOS, and 38 cases underwent open BOS. There were 22 patients were accrued in suture closing and 35 patients were accrued in clipping or ligating. Open BOS experienced high levels of CRP, WBC, NLR, and CAR, and was associated with significantly longer hospitalization, operating time, and amount of bleeding. Suture close was higher in patients with preoperative endoscopic lithotripsy (EL). BOS can be sufficiently performed under laparoscopy. Patients underwent preoperative EL tended to be higher necessity to suture close of cystic duct.
