What is the best score for predicting difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy? A diagnostic trial study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Multiple scores have been created in order to predict difficult cholecystectomy, nonetheless there is not a consensuated standard on which to use. The importance of a predictive score to be able to establish a difficult cholecystectomy would be a relevant instrument in order to better inform the patient, properly call for help when needed, choose the correct staff, and schedule and plan the surgical procedure accordingly.

Methods

A diagnostic trial study was performed. All different predictive scores for difficult cholecystectomy were calculated for each patient. The correlation between the preoperative score and cholecystectomies considered as "difficult" were measured estimating the preoperative score's predictive value using a receiver operating characteristics
