We are thrilled to announce the publication of our novel study on hydrodissection (HD) in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) for gangrenous gallbladders (GGBs) in the esteemed SAGES (Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons) journal. This study showcases significant advancements in surgical techniques and offers promising results in improving surgical outcomes for laparoscopic and thoracic surgeries..
Traditional blunt dissection, the standard treatment for GGBs in LC cases, can lead to high iatrogenic complication rates. However, our study, the first large retrospective study on HD in LCs for GGBs, demonstrates its potential benefits.
In this retrospective study, data from 386 LCs were analyzed. Our results reveal significantly reduced operating time (OT), anesthesia time (AT), length of stay (LOS), and conversion to open procedures in the HD group compared to the non-HD group. HD reduced OT by 35.5% compared to blunt dissection. These findings support the association of HD with improved surgical outcomes, highlighting its potential as an effective approach.
We extend our gratitude to the dedicated team of researchers and surgeons who contributed to this study. Their expertise and commitment have paved the way for advancements in laparoscopic cholecystectomy and improved patient outcomes.
Read our study in the SAGES to learn more about the promising benefits of HD in LC for GGBs. This publication signifies our commitment to innovation and enhancing surgical techniques.
