Objective To summarize the treatment experience for concomitant diseases of other abdominal organs in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).
Methods The clinical data of 176 patients with LC and concomitant diseases of other abdominal organs were analyzed retrospectively, including preoperatively diagnosed cases (such as 53 with liver cyst, 15 with choledocholithiasis, 7 with chronic appendicitis, 5 with inguinal hernia, 4 with renal cyst, and 6 with ovarian cyst) and intraoperatively diagnosed cases (such as 72 with abdominal cavity adhesion, 4 with internal fistula between gallbladder and digestive tract, 3 with Mirizzi syndrome, and 7 with unsuspected gallbladder carcinoma).
Results All the operation were successfully completed in 176 patients without severe complications, including 53 cases treated with LC plus fenestration of hepatic cyst, 15 with choledocholithotomy, 7 with appendectomy, 5 with tension free hernia repair, 4 with renal cyst fenestration, 6 with oophorocystectomy, 72 with adhesiolysis, 3 with fistula resection plus intestine neoplasty, 2 with intraoperative cholangiography plus choledocholithotomy, 5 with LC plus gallbladder bed complete burning, and 4 cases treated with conversion to open surgery (1 with intestinal fistula repair, 1 with choledocholithotomy, and 2 with radical resection for gallbladder carcinoma).
Conclusions It is safe and effective to treat gallbladder diseases complicated with other concomitant diseases simultaneously with laparoscopic operation, if the principles of surgical operation are followed and the indications and applicable conditions are strictly followed. And conversion to open surgery is necessary.
