Gallstone Management in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy

20252 citationsOpen accessAlexandria University

Abstract

SCC is safe but results in a longer operative time with no increase in complication rates. Postoperative gallstone formation remains a concern, with more acute symptoms and earlier cholecystectomy at a lower %EWL in asymptomatic GS patients, compared to gallstone-free patients. Our findings showed that postoperative gallstones developed in only 4.95% of the asymptomatic GSD patients who declined SCC. Preoperative counseling is recommended to inform patients of the potential need for cholecystectomy following LSG.
