Assessment of Complications and Effects Resulting From Cholecystectomy

The research focused on assessing complications and effects resulting from cholecystectomy, where 120 patients were collected from AL-Ramadi Teaching Hospital, Al-Anbar, Baquba Teaching Hospital Diyala and Al-Yarmouk Teaching Hospital, Baghdad, Iraq. It relied on surgical intervention through a laparoscopy for cholecystectomy. The results showed that the mortality rate due to elective cholecystectomy is low and ranges from 0 to 0.5%. The most common cause of death is pre-existing cardiovascular disease and therefore the importance of careful screening for cardiovascular disease symptoms before the operation cannot be underestimated; Any cardiac disease must be corrected before the cholecystectomy procedure and on the other hand, the post-operative infectious complications have been greatly reduced since prophylactic antibiotics are used during and after the operation as observed after laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedures, the average stay is two days; Some patients can be treated for two days, In addition, the rates of incisional hernias and wound sepsis are very low and the need for opioid analgesia is also very low.
