[Reasons for reoperation after laparoscopic cholecystectomy].

AIMS: Analysis of the reasons for reoperation after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

METHODS AND PATIENTS: Retrospective-prospective analyses of the first 250 patients who undergone laparoscopic cholecystectomy. In 86% cases indication for operation was chronic calculosis of gallbladder.

RESULTS

Reoperation was performed at 6 patients (2.4%). The reasons of reoperation were: haematoma of gallbladder's loge (1), biliary fistulas (1), biliary peritonitis (1), abdominal abscesses (2), and perforated peptic ulcer (1). At 2 patients with intraabdominal abscesses, it was solved by laparoscopic drainage. The other complications were solved with laparotomy, also. We did not have lethal cases after reoperation.

CONCLUSION

Rate of postoperative complications was 2.4%, and all of them required reoperation. Our results are similar with results of the other authors.
