Popis: | Our aim is to present our experience with laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) in high-risk patients with acute cholecystitis (AC). The guidelines for AC are still debatable for high-risk patients. We aimed to emphasize the role of LC as a primary treatment method in patients with severe AC instead of a treatment after PC according to the Tokyo Guidelines (TG). AC patients with high surgical risk [American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) III-IV] who were admitted to our department between March 2008 and November 2014 were retrospectively evaluated. Disease severity in all patients was assessed according to the 2007 TG for AC. Patients were either treated by emergency LC (group LC) or PC (group PC). Demographic data, ASA scores, treatment methods, rates of conversion to open surgery, duration of drainage, length of hospital stay, and morbidity and mortality rates were compared among groups. Age, ASA score, and TG07 severity scores in the PC group were significantly higher than that in the LC group (P < 0.001, P < 0.001, and P < 0.001, respectively). Sex distribution (P = 0.33), follow-up periods (P = 0.33), and morbidity (P = 0.86) were similar. In the patients with early surgical intervention, mortality was significantly lower (P < 0.001). Length of hospital stay was significantly shorter in the LC group compared with the PC group (P < 0.001). In high-risk surgical patients, PC can serve as an alternative treatment method because of its efficiency in the prevention of sepsis-related complications due to AC. However, LC still should be an option for severe AC with comparable short-term results. |
