cholecystitis and pancreatitis
Risk of recurrent complications is high

42. Cholecystectomy When To Perform?
After acute cholecystitis, cholecystectomy traditionally
performed after 6 weeks
Arguments for 6 weeks later
Laparoscopic dissection more difficult when acutely
inflammed GB
Surgery not optimal when patient septic/dehydrated
42
44. Post Op
Fluids 6 hrs post op
Soft diet evening / next day
Patients can be sent home the same day
Fatty meal - avoided in first 6 weeks post op

45. Take Home Message
Patient with recurrent, non remitting dyspepsia - ultrasound
Ultrasound abdomen - 12hrs empty stomach to visualize GB
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold standard treatment
for cholelithiasis
Symptomatic Gallstones should undergo surgery
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a day care surgery
