  • Title: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy and appendectomy with sickle cell disease.
    Author: Alaud-Din AH, Hussein AE, Haddad M.
    Journal: Surg Laparosc Endosc; 1998 Oct; 8(5):380-3. PubMed ID: 9799150.
    Abstract:
    Thirty-six pediatric and adult patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), cholelithiasis, and repeated abdominal crises underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and appendectomy with minimal complications. We prefer using LC to the open method for patients with SCD, and we propose adjustments to the positions of the four trocars to facilitate both procedures without adversely affecting the patient.
