Elective Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Abstract Introduction Nationally 61,220 Laparoscopic Cholecystectomies are carried out annually. Those carried out as day-cases reduce providers’ costs and increase income through the best practice tariff. The system in our trust to record discharges is ‘Trakcare’. The aim of this audit was to accurately measure the discharge times of patients undergoing elective Laparoscopic Cholecystectomies, to try and reduce the number of patients recorded as having an overnight stay by accurate data collection. Methods Initial data was collected for all elective Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy discharge times on Trakcare, over a 1 month period. This data was then re-audited prospectively both from Trakcare and discharges reported by nurses/patients. A comparison was then made of Trakcare against reported discharge times. Results Initially 54 operations were recorded, with 30 completed as day cases (55.6%). The re-audited data (on Trakcare) recorded 47 operations, with 15 completed as day cases (37.91%). Of these discharges we were able to capture 26 (55.32%) manually, and 11 were completed as day cases (42.31%). Measuring these 26 with the same operations on Trakcare we were unable to show a difference in the number of cases completed as a day case (11 vs 11), with only a 33 minute decrease in the average length of stay. Conclusion Trakcare is a reliable tool for measuring the date of discharge for patients. The recommendations in are: scheduling surgery for a time pre-13:00 shows a higher proportion of patients discharged the same day, and continue to use Trakcare to record discharge times.

Elective Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Abstract Introduction The majority of institutions no longer offer routine post-operative follow-up after elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. National guidelines however recommend the use of post-operative hotlines or planned telephone follow-up for day-case procedures. At a time when NHS resources are limited, a digital solution may provide a safe alternative to telephone or physical follow-up. Our aim was to identify if digital follow-up with aboutmyop.org; a digital data-sharing platform, was equivalent to telephone follow-up. Method Study participants were invited to use aboutmyop.org before and after surgery. Patients were given free choice on whether they opted to use post-operative digital follow-up or routine post-operative care (no follow-up or telephone follow-up). In addition to follow-up compliance, the outcomes measured included 30-day post-operative complications, readmission, and re-operation. Results Of 597 laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients who were offered follow-up, 16.4% opted for digital follow-up, and 33.3% phone follow-up. Over 5 times as many patients who opted for telephone follow-up missed their appointment when compared to those who chose digital follow-up (5.6% vs. 30.9%, p < 0.001). Digital follow-up had a high sensitivity (68.2%-100%) and specificity (100%) for identifying complications at 30-days post-operatively and was completed significantly earlier than phone follow-up (median 6 days vs. 13.5 days, p = 0.001) with high patient acceptability. Conclusion This feasibility study demonstrates that digital follow-up utilising the aboutmyop.org platform is an acceptable alternative modality to telephone follow-up in elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients. Future work should aim to compare matched cohorts of patients undergoing digital follow-up, telephone follow-up, and no follow-up as a randomised controlled trial.

A retrospective study was carried in 1500 patients submitted to elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy to ascertain its feasibility in patients with previous abdominal surgery. In 411 patients (27.4%) previous infraumbilical intraperitoneal surgery had been performed, and 106 of them (7.06%) had 2 or more operations. Twenty five patients (1.66%) had previous supraumbilical intraperitoneal operations (colonic resection, hydatid liver cysts, gastrectomies, etc.) One of them had been operated 3 times. In this group of 25 patients the first trocar and pneumoperitoneum were performed by open laparoscopy. In 2 patients a Marlex mesh was present from previous surgery for supraumbilical hernias. Previous infraumbilical intraperitoneal surgery did not interfere with laparoscopic cholecystectomy, even in patients with several operations. There was no morbidity from Verres needle or trocars. In the 25 patients with supraumbilical intraperitoneal operations, laparoscopic cholecystectomy was completed in 22. In 3, adhesions prevented the visualization of the gallbladder and these patients were converted to an open procedure. In the 2 patients Marlex mesh prevented laparoscopic cholecystectomy because of adhesions to abdominal organs. We conclude that in most instances previous abdominal operations are no contraindication to laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

ABSTRACT Background - Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the treatment of choice for gallstone disease, and has been perfomed as an outpatient surgery in many Institutions over the last few years. Objective - This is a retrospective study of a single center in Brazil, that aims to analyze the outcomes of 200 cases of ambulatory laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed by the same Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary team, evaluating the safety and cost-effectiveness of the method. Methods - Two hundred consecutive patients who underwent elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy were retrospectively analyzed; some of them underwent additional procedures, as liver biopsies and abdominal hernias repair. Results - From a total of 200 cases, the outpatient surgery protocol could not be carried out in 22 (11%). Twenty one (95.5%) patients remained hospitalized for 1 day and 1 (4.5%) patient remained hospitalized for 2 days. From the 178 patients who underwent ambulatory laparoscopic cholecystectomy, 3 (1.7 %) patients returned to the emergency room before the review appointment. Hospital cost was on average 35% lower for the ambulatory group. Conclusion - With appropriate selection criteria, ambulatory laparoscopic cholecystectomy is feasible, safe and effective; readmission rate is low, as well as complications related to the method. Cost savings and patient satisfaction support its adoption. Other studies are necessary to recommend this procedure as standard practice in Brazil.
