Does Estrogen Cause Low Conversion Rates in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomies for Acute and Chronic Cholecystitis in Women?. JSLS : Journal of the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons / Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons, 5(4), 309-312.1086-8089https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12395/17673Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the preferred treatment for symptomatic cholelithiasis. Severe local inflammation and scar formation are commonly responsible for conversion to open surgery. Fibrosuppressive effects of estrogen on peritoneal inflammatory conditions could provide low, dense fibrosis or scar formation around the gallbladder and make laparoscopic cholecystectomy easier in women and we believe that male sex is a conversion factor in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessArticle5430931211719976Q2
