Introduction: Cholecystitis is associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality in patients under immunosuppressive therapy after lung transplantation. Therefore, cholecystectomy is recommended in patients with asymptomatic cholelithiasis who are candidates for lung transplantation. A pre-transplant prophylactic laparoscopic cholecystectomy approach may reduce this morbidity and mortality in lung transplant candidates with cholelithiasis. In this study, we aimed to examine our experience with laparoscopic cholecystectomy before lung transplantation. Materials and Methods: The data of eight lung transplant candidates who underwent prophylactic laparoscopic cholecystectomy for asymptomatic cholelithiasis were evaluated retrospectively. Results: Of the cases examined, 2 (25%) were female and 6 (75%) were male. The mean age was 34.5 for women and 44.16 for men. No postoperative morbidity or mortality was observed. Conclusion: Prophylactic laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be safely performed before transplantation in patients who are candidates for lung transplantation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
