Subtotal Cholecystectomy for Complicated Acute Cholecystitis: a Multicenter Prospective Observational Study

NCT04181801 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 500

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

We believe that subtotal cholecystectomy is a safe alternative to total cholecystectomy when the complicated gallbladder is encountered, resulting in decreased or equivalent risk of bile duct injury, major vascular injury, postoperative hemorrhage, infectious complications, and mortality. Additionally, we hope to further elucidate the expected outcomes of the varying subtypes of subtotal cholecystectomy in order to determine the safest approach, assuring the lowest need for secondary intervention, recurrent biliary disease, or need for a completion cholecystectomy.
