Risk-sensitive events during laparoscopic cholecystectomy: the influence of the integrated operating room and a preoperative checklist tool
Conclusions Using both an integrated OR and Pro/cheQ has a stronger reducing effect on the number of RSE than using an integrated OR alone.
The Pro/cheQ tool supported the optimal workflow in a natural way and raised the general safety awareness amongst all members
of the surgical team. For tools such as integrated OR systems and checklists to succeed it is pivotal not to underestimate
the value of the implementation process. To further improve safety and quality of surgery, a multifaceted approach should
be followed, focusing on the performance and competence of the surgical team as a whole.

A prospective randomized trial comparing two-stage versus single-stage management of patients with gallstone disease and common bile duct stones
Conclusions The results showed equivalent success rate in terms of morbidity and hospital stay. Laparoscopic approach seems to be favorable
because of the smaller number of procedures and hospital visits.

Single-port-access (SPATM) cholecystectomy: a multi-institutional report of the first 297 cases
Conclusions The findings demonstrate that SPA surgery is an alternative to multiport laparoscopy with fewer scars and better cosmesis.
One factor affecting the rate for adoption of SPA surgery among other surgeons is the reproducibility of this new procedure.
Although this study had insufficient data to determine fully the benefits of SPA surgery, the feasibility of this procedure
with safe, acceptable results was demonstrated in this initial large series across multinational institutions.

Prophylactic Cholecystectomy in Midgut Carcinoid Patients
Conclusions In our study the incidence of gallstone-related complications seems to be higher than in the general population. We recommend
that prophylactic cholecystectomy is liberally performed during laparotomy for MGC if patients are planned to undergo treatment
with somatostatin analogs.

Single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy: the first 100 outpatients
Conclusions The findings show SIMPL cholecystectomy to be safe in the outpatient setting. It is an excellent alternative to traditional
three- or four-port cholecystectomy for the ideal candidate with a lower body mass index (BMI), early disease, and no previous
abdominal surgery. The authors’ initial outpatient experience shows that it can be performed using existing instrumentation
without increasing costs by a reproducible technique that can be adopted by any practicing general surgeon.

Evaluation of Operative Notes Concerning Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: Are Standards Being Met?
Conclusions Operative notes do not always fully comply with the standards set forth in the guidelines published in the Netherlands. This
could influence adjuvant treatment and future patient treatment, and it may make operative notes less suitable background
for other purposes. Therefore operative note writing should be taught as part of surgical training, definitions should be
provided, and procedure-specific guidelines should be established to improve the quality of the operative notes and their
use to improve patient safety.

Use of Rigid Nephroscope for Laparoscopic Common Bile Duct Exploration—A Single-Center Experience
Conclusions A rigid nephroscope can be used for managing all types of common bile duct calculi irrespective of site, size, composition,
or degree of impaction. Its use can be expected to become the standard for laparoscopic common bile duct exploration, especially
for removing large calculi from a dilated common bile duct.

Transcylindrical cholecystectomy under local anesthesia plus sedation. A pilot study
EndoscopyDOI: 10.1055/s-0029-1243860 The practice of laparoscopic cholecystectomy under local anesthesia is almost anecdotal. For 15 years we have been using a “transcylindrical cholecystectomy” technique for the treatment of cholelithiasis, cholecystitis, and choledocholithiasis. The present study was undertaken to assess the feasibility of transcylindrical cholecystectomy under local anesthesia through a prospective and longitudinal efficacy study.[...]© Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New YorkGet connected:Table of contents | Abstract | Full text (Source: Endoscopy)...

Open, small-incision, or laparoscopic cholecystectomy for patients with symptomatic cholecystolithiasis. An overview of Cochrane Hepato-Biliary Group reviews
Background
Patients with symptomatic cholecystolithiasis are treated by three different techniques of cholecystectomy: open, small-incision, or laparoscopic. There is no overview on Cochrane systematic reviews on these three interventions.
Objectives
To summarise Cochrane reviews that assess the effects of different techniques of cholecystectomy for patients with symptomatic cholecystolithiasis.
Methods
The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR) was searched for all systematic reviews evaluating any interventions for the treatment of symptomatic cholecystolithiasis (Issue 4 2008).
Main results
Three systematic reviews that included a total of 56 randomised trials with 5246 patients are included in this overview of reviews. All three reviews used identical inclusion criteria for tr......

Liver Resection Is Associated with Prolonged Survival for Non-Metastatic Gallbladder Cancer: A 10 Year Review
Introduction: Gallbladder cancer is a relatively rare cancer in the United States and is often associated with poor prognosis. We reviewed our experience with treating gallbladder cancer and attempted to identify if demographic, tumor, or surgical factors affected survival in our patient population. Methods: We performed a chart review of the cancer registry of 2 large academic hospitals to identify patients with gallbladder cancer between 1999 and 2007. Demographic information, patient and tumor factors, and survival outcomes were collected. We analyzed the patient population for the impact of patient factors and surgical therapy on survival outcome. Results: Our patient database consisted of 68 patients, 52 of which were women (76%). The ethnic distribution was 37% Hispanic, 34% Caucasia......

Contributing Factors to Postoperative Length of Stay in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
This study evaluates the major factors that contribute to postoperative length of stay (LOS) for patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods: We analyzed demographic, clinical, and utilization data in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a five-hospital community health system from 1 December 2008 to 31 January 2009. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to evaluate significance and estimate the association between significant factors and LOS. Results: 191 patients met the inclusion criteria for analysis. Demographically, patient age was a significant contributing factor (0.04 days to LOS/year, p=0.004) while gender, diabetes, hypertension, and BMI were not significant. None of the clinical factors (emergency status, use of ERCP, biliary pancreatitis, to......
