Does the subtotal cholecystectomy rate for acute cholecystitis change with previous endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography?

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute cholecystitis is one of the most common emergent surgeries. As a safe alternative in challenging operations, laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy (LSC) is widely used. We questioned whether the results in acute cholecystitis cases changed with a history of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). When we searched the literature, we could not find a study focusing on the subtotal cholestectomy results in acute cholecystitis. In our study, we aimed to investigate whether the history of ERCP affects the rates of subtotal cholecystectomy (SC) in acute cholecystitis.

Methods

The results of patients (n=470) who underwent surgery for acute cholecystitis at our clinic between 2016 and 2019 were retrospectively evaluated. The patients were divided into
