| Summary: | Neðst á síðunni er hægt að nálgast greinina í heild sinni með því að smella á hlekkinn View/Open Objective: To assess the outcome of the first 400 laparoscopic cholecystectomies (LC) in Akureyri Central Hospital (FSA), Iceland. Methods: We carried out a prospective study of LCs performed between July 1992 and February 2001. Primary endpoints were complication- and conversion rate, hospital stay and duration of convalescence. Results: A total of 426 operations were performed in the period. In 26 cases it was decided beforehand to perform an open cholecystectomy (OC). A LC was begun on 400 patients. Indication for operation was acute cholecystitis in 41 cases (10,3%) and an elective LC was performed in 359 (89,7%) cases. Conversion to OC was required in sixteen (4%) cases with a conversion rate in acutely performed LCs of 12,2% versus 3,1% in elective LCs. Mean hospital stay after LC was 3,6 days (1-45) versus 12,3 days (4-31) after OC. Mean operation time was 89 minutes (45-270) in the first 100 LCs versus 75 minutes (30-180) in the last 100 LCs. Duration of convalescence of patients undergoing LC was 13,5 days (4-70). Complication rate in LCs was 10% (40/400). Four patients required a reoperation. Conclusions: Our results show that LC is a safe procedure in FSA. Conversion rate to OC, complication rate and duration of convalescence stands good comparison to other studies. Tilgangur: Að meta árangur við fyrstu 400 gallblöðrunám með kviðsjártækni á Fjórðungssjúkrahúsinu á Akureyri (FSA). Efniviður og aðferðir: Gerð var framsæ rannsókn á tímabilinu júlí 1992 til febrúar 2001. Tíðni fylgikvilla og breytingar yfir í opna aðgerð var athuguð, auk þess sem lengd sjúkrahúsdvalar og tími til fyrri færni voru borin saman við niðurstöður annarra sjúkrahúsa. Niðurstöður: Alls voru framkvæmd 426 gallblöðrunám á sjúkrahúsinu. Í 26 tilfellum var um hefðbundna opna aðgerð að ræða frá byrjun. Gallblöðrunám með kviðsjártækni var reynt hjá 400 sjúklingum. Hjá 41 sjúklingi (10,3%) var um að ræða aðgerð vegna bráðrar ...
