[Effectiveness of laparoscopic cholecystectomy using various surgical techniques].
The study compares two groups, both in number of 100 patients subdued to laparoscopic cholecystectomy. In each group a different surgical technique was performed. The comparison study regarded duration of surgical performance, incidence of postoperative complications, surgical morbidity and mortality, as well as duration of hospitalization and return to full activity. The surgical interventions were performed at two distinct workplaces. Neither of the mentioned parameters yielded significant differences in dependence on the utilized operation technique. The entire group of 200 cholecystectomic performances was thereafter compared with a comparable group of classical cholecystectomies which had been performed at the identical hospitals. The mentioned parameters yield statistically significant differences in postoperative morbidity, hospitalization duration and return to full professional activity. The results speak in favour of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The duration of surgical performance, number of postoperative complications requiring reoperation, and mortality do not yield significant differences. The comparison of the observed parameters in relation to age categories presents laparoscopic cholecystectomy as the method suitable also for older patients above 65 years of age.
