Newest firstBackground Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the gold standard treatment for symptomatic gallstone disease. However, a subset of cases requires conversion to open cholecystectomy (OC) due to anatomical challenges or intraoperative complications. Objective To identify the preoperative and intraoperative risk factors associated with conversion of LC to OC and propose a simple scoring system to predict high-risk c…
Open article record in new tab ↗Objective 2-15% of laparoscopic cholecystectomy gets converted to an open procedure due to various factors. The aim of this study was to identify pre-operative risk factors that could predict the conversion of laparoscopic cholecystectomy to open surgery. Pre-operative prediction would help in reducing the morbidity. Material and methods Adult patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy at a tertiary…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Laparoscopic surgery is effective for treating common bile duct (CBD) stones. However, it has high requirements for surgeons and the risk of conversion to laparotomy cannot be ignored. However, when conditions during surgery are not favorable, persisting with laparoscopic procedures blindly can lead to serious complications. Our study aimed to establish a nomogram model for predicting conversion of lapa…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background The gold-standard treatment for cholecystectomy, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, has remarkably variable outcomes and conversion rates. We investigated the gallbladder adhesion degree as a predictor of conversion surgery, common bile duct injury, and resurgery. Methods We reviewed 157 medical records and video recordings of laparoscopic cholecystectomy on patients with cholelithiasis with or without chole…
In a commentary, Grotenhermen, Russo, and Zuardi questioned not only the clinical relevance but also the conclusions of a recently published study by Merrick et al. on the conversion of cannabidiol (CBD) to delta-8 and delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in simulated gastric fluid. In response, this article aims to provide a thorough review of the in vitro and in vivo studies of gastric CBD conversion as well as po…
