[Comparative study of accidents and complications of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in cirrhotic and non cirrhotic patients]. / Etude comparative des accidents et des complications de la cholécystectomie laparoscopique chez les cirrhotiques et les non cirrhotiques.

Among a total of 9000 laparoscopic cholecystectomies, 60 (0.66%) were performed in cirrhotics patients. We have analyzed the presence of intra- and postoperative complications and have made a statistical comparison between cirrhotics and the group of 8940 non-cirrhotics. Cirrhosis was associated with a higher rate of conversions, of intra- and postoperative complications and mortality. The particularities of the intervention in cirrhotic patients are evaluated. Data analysis shows that cirrhotic patients have special problems regarding operation indication, surgical technique and pre- and postoperative treatment.
