dc.description.abstractBACKGROUND The aim of this study, was to assess the clinical results of treatment by laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in patients with acute cholecystitis. METHODS Between 1994 and 2006, LC was performed in 3876 patients in Selcuk University Meram Medicine Faculty. The clinical, biochemical, radiologic, and operative data of 182 (101 F, 81 M) consecutive patients with acute cholecystitis operated 3 days after the onset of symptoms were analyzed retrospectively to determine the complications and morbidity after operation. RESULTS The conversion rate was 31 (17.03%) in acute cholecystitis. Postoperative length of stay was found as 4 days in the successful LC group and 7 days in the conversion group. For acute cholecystitis, we found a statistical difference between the successful LC group and the conversion group in terms of length of postoperative hospitalization time and gallbladder wall thickness. We identified the following factors as associated with conversion: male gender, pericholecystic collection L seen on ultrasound, gangrenous cholecystitis, and gallbladder wall thickness >1 cm. CONCLUSION LC is a safe approach in selected patients with acute cholecystitis. Male gender, pericholecystic collection seen on ultrasound, gangrenous cholecystitis, and gallbladder wall thickness >1 cm are associated with a higher risk of conversion to open surgery.en_US
