Abstract
BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is nearly exclusively carried out as an inpatient operation in Germany. The aim of the study was to evaluate for which patients postoperative laboratory control values are necessary. METHODS: This retrospective analysis included 100 patients who underwent elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. A scoring and data collection sheet was developed, which enables a risk stratification. Using the scoring system patients can achieve between 3 and 15 points. RESULTS: In total 100 patients were included in the study. Of the patients 64 (group 1) had between 3 and 8 points, 29 patients (group 2) between 9 and 11 points and 7 patients (group 3) between 12 and 15 points. In comparison to group 1 the C‑reactive protein values as well as the duration of hospital stay were significantly increased in group 2 and group 3 (p > 0.05). In group1 a total of 60 patients (93.7%) were discharged regularly on postoperative days 1-3. In group 2 there were 17 patients (58.6%) who could be discharged with unremarkable blood values and in group 3 there were 3 patients (42.8%). In the total collective hospital discharge without a laboratory control of blood values would have been justified in 80% of the patients. CONCLUSION: A postoperative control of laboratory blood values is not routinely necessary for patients after elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy with a score <9 points.
