Abstract

Background: Globally, gallstone disease (GS) is a significant health issue, especially for adults although cholecystitis is common, there is an evidence of variance in its diagnosis and course of therapy, including surgery. In place of open cholecystectomy, laparoscopic cholecystectomy is now the preferred course of treatment for symptomatic cholelithiasis. In situations where laparoscopic cholecystectomy is dangerous; a surgeon may be forced to change from laparoscopy to an open procedure. The aim of the study was to clarify the benefits and role of minimally invasive surgery in comparison to the open conventional method of cholecystectomy, with a focus on the postoperative phase and to compare the ratio of Laparoscopic and open cholecystectomy between male and female genders. Methods: 185 Patients of cholecystitis aged between 10 years to 80 years (86.5% males and 13.5% females) were presented to Zawia Medical Center during the period from March 2005 till April 2006 that randomly get an open or laparoscopic cholecystectomy. They were divided into open and laparoscopic Cholecystectomy group. Results: In this study, a total of 185 patients were included: 160 females (86.5% of the total) and 25 males (13.5% of the total). Whereas, 86 females (53.7%) were operated on by laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and 74 females (46%) were operated on by open cholecystectomy. In comparison, of a total of 25 males, 12 (48%) underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy and 13 (52%) underwent open cholecystectomy. The conversion rate was eight cases (8.2%) due to technical, bleeding, or massive adhesion. Conclusion: From this study, we concluded that the laparoscopic cholecystectomy versus open cholecystectomy ratio (female: male ratio) was 86.5% to 13.5% of the total 185 patients, and laparoscopic cholecystectomy appears to be a safe procedure with quick recovery, early discharge from the hospital, and less postoperative pain as compared to open cholecystectomy.
