Zusammenfassung: | This report presents our experiences with combined gynecologic surgical procedures and cholecystectomy from 1976 to 1983. The review evaluated risks, cost, and hospital stay in combined surgical procedures. Hospital charts were reviewed in 46 cases. The patients were compared with 178 patients undergoing total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in 1981. Of the 46 patients reviewed, 22 (47.8%) had preoperative diagnosis of cholelithiasis. We believe it appropriate to combine gynecologic surgical procedures with cholecystectomy when indicated. This eliminates a significant postoperative complication, cholecystitis, a second general anesthetic, and future hospitalization with additional time off work and patient recovery time. |
