  • Title: ["Prophylactic" video-laparoscopic cholecystectomy].
    Author: Boltri F, Moro L, Voghera P, Boltri M, Bonello F.
    Journal: Minerva Chir; 1994 Oct; 49(10):987-90. PubMed ID: 7808676.
    Abstract:
    The authors examine the prophylaxis of infections caused by cholelithiasis in kidney and heart transplant candidates as a new indication for videolaparoscopic cholecystectomy (VLC). The study included 6 patients in dialysis for chronic renal insufficiency and one patient suffering from cyanogenic congenital cardiopathy with asymptomatic gallbladder calculosis. The results obtained show that there are no substantial differences compared to patients without associated pathologies and justifies the inclusion of "prophylactic" VLC in preparatory treatment protocols for kidney and heart transplant in patients suffering from cholelithiasis. The authors emphasise the necessary technical measures to prevent hemorrhage, intraoperative loss of CO2 and postoperative laparoceles.
