Impact of Drain Placement on Short‐Term Postoperative Outcomes in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy With Intraoperative Bile Spillage: A Propensity Score Matching Analysis
This research investigates whether drain placement affects postoperative outcomes after laparoscopic cholecystectomy with bile spillage.
Conducted a propensity score matching analysis to control for confounding factors.
Analyzed postoperative outcomes in patients who had drains placed versus those without drains.
Focused on infectious complications and length of hospitalization.
No significant difference in infectious complication rates between patients with and without drains.
Drains might be linked to longer hospital stays following surgery.
Abstract
Drain placement in patients undergoing LC with bile spillage might not influence infectious complication rates but might be associated with extended hospitalization.
