Comparative Study of the Effect of Laparoscopic and Open Surgery on Acute Cholecystitis

Objective: To compare the clinical effect of laparoscopic and open surgery on acute cholecystitis. Method: clinical data of 200 cases of acute cholecystitis patients in our hospital from July 2006 to July 2010 were divided into laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC) group and open cholecystectomy(OC) group. Comparison was made from various aspects to show the feasibility of laparoscopic cholecystectomy of acute cholecystitis. Results: the operation time, off-bed activity time, postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery time and hospital stay time of LC group were all lower than OC group (t = 2.785, t = 2.825, t = 2.831, t = 2.904, p < 0.05); OC group’s postoperative complications was 23.0%, higher than that (9.0%) of LC group(χ2 = 3.764, p < 0.05). Conclusion: Under the chosen strict condition of surgical indications and delicate surgery operation, the application of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the treatment of acute cholecystitis is safe and feasible.
