2. 1. Cholecystectomy : studies on surgical methods, incidence and economy

   Author : Axel Ros; Ulf Haglund; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : After almost a century without change in the surgical care of gallstone disease since the first cholecystectomy in 1882, a profound change in surgical treatment of gallstones has taken place over the last three decades with the introduction of endoscopic sphincterotomy for treatment of bile duct stones (EST), minilaparotomy cholecystectomy (MC), and laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). The epidemiology of gallstone surgery has changed since these minimally invasive procedures were introduced. READ MORE

4. 2. Gallstone-related symptoms and quality-of-life in patients undergoing gallstone surgery - The Gothenburg Gallstone Questionnaire (GGQ24)

   Author : Cajsa Barthelsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Very little research has been conducted to identify patients own perspectives of having gallstone disease and their own experiences of symptoms the first postoperative week following laparoscopic cholecystectomy, LC. Although some randomized controlled studies comparing outpatient and inpatient LC have been performed previously, these studies have not in detail focused on LC patients recovery during the first week including symptom occurrence and distress following this procedure.
