Key take away

Compared to patients who had a small-incision cholecystectomy, those who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy displayed lower levels of operation-related indices.

Background

The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in individuals with chronic cholecystitis and gallbladder stones.

Method

Overall, 90 volunteers with cholecystitis and gallbladder stones were enrolled and randomly allocated (1:1) to get either laparoscopic cholecystectomy (experimental group) or small-incision cholecystectomy (observation group). Adverse events, motilin, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), gastrin, tumor necrosis factor- α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6, C-reactive protein (CRP), postoperative hospital stay, intraoperative bleeding volume, and operation time were the endpoints ascertained.

Result

Compared to volunteers who underwent small-incision cholecystectomy, volunteers who had laparoscopic cholecystectomy had lower levels of operation-linked indices and minimized postoperative levels of CRP, IL-6, and TNF-α.

Patients who had laparoscopic cholecystectomy exhibited better levels of motilin, VIP, and gastrin and considerably reduced occurrence of side effects than those who underwent small-incision cholecystectomy.

Conclusion

In people with chronic cholecystitis and gallbladder stones, laparoscopic cholecystectomy successfully lowers the duration of hospital stay and operative time, improves gastrointestinal function, attenuates the inflammatory response, and minimizes intraoperative bleeding, with elevated safety and less surgical stress.
