Researchers have found in a new study that urgent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) with proper perioperative care is a ...

As robotic cholecystectomy, also known as gallbladder removal, becomes increasingly common, researchers have identified higher rates of bile duct injury in robotic cholecystectomy compared to the ...

Of note, the use of intraoperative cholangiogram was significantly higher in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy compared with robotic-assisted cholecystectomy (0.97% vs 0.72%, P<0.001).

Laparoscopic, or keyhole, cholecystectomy involves a surgeon making four, small incisions in a person’s abdomen. They insert a camera- and light-mounted tube into these incisions.

Earlier this month, as many as 345 gallstones were removed from a 51-year-old woman's body via a laparoscopic cholecystectomy conducted by surgeons at Bengaluru's Aster RV Hospital.

Robotic-assisted cholecystectomy was tied to a 0.7% rate of bile duct injury that required definitive surgical reconstruction within 1 year compared with a 0.2% rate for laparoscopic ...

Distalmotion has made its first multi-system sale in the U.S., with AdventHealth purchasing several Dexter surgical robotic ...

Although the use of robotic-assisted cholecystectomy increased 37-fold from 2010 to 2019, the procedure was associated with significantly higher rates of bile duct injury compared with ...
