Abstract
Abstract Aims To determine the outcome of patients who had subtotal cholecystectomies at ESHT in the period from January 2020 till August 2024 Methods Retrospective study, Patients details obtained from Theatreman requests manager, Patients files accessed through-searcher & Evolve. Total number of patients who had laparoscopic cholecystectomies in ESHT during that period is 1392 averaging 309 a year, 32 of those patients had subtotal cholecystectomies (2.3%). one patient converted to open. Results 50% of patients were hot laparoscopic cholecystectomies & 50% were routine. A drain needed to be inserted in a fifth of patients & stayed for an average of of 9.2 days. Average hospital stay was 4 days with majority of patients (over 2 thirds) going home on the same day or the day after. Elderly patients and male are over-represented in subtotal group compared to total group. Males were only 21% of the whole group but 59% of the subtotal group. ERCP performed in 43% of subtotal group compared to 13.5% in the whole group. The readmission rate was 8% in the whole group compared to 12% in the subtotal. One patient was converted in the subtotal compared to non in the total group. Conclusions The % of subtotal to total is 2.3% in our series which is way lower than the average national of 4-9%. Morbidity as reflected by the number of ERCPs performed: 43% in the subtotal group compared to 13.5% in the whole group. These results consistent with larger studies that the procedure is safe when encountering difficult gall bladder.
