Precautions
The biggest risk in laparoscopic gallbladder
surgery is having an untrained surgeon.
This
incidence of error and complications with laparoscopic
gallbladder surgery became such a problem on the national
level, that the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
convened a conference to discuss the problem.
Basically
they recognized that the risks of this surgery were
a result of errors on the part of the surgeon in identifying
the anatomy and in improperly cutting or clipping one
duct instead of the other. Other problems were also
noted.
The
consensus of the conference was that the procedure was
worthwhile, but proper training, supervision and experience
were necessary to make it safe.
They
also recognized a significant learning curve, as the
incidence of complications and injury were far greater
when a surgeon had performed less than 25 of these surgeries
than after he or she had considerable experience.
Unfortunately,
the conference did not recommend more stringent requirements
or credentialing for those performing laparoscopic gallbladder
surgery.
Thus,
the best safety precaution is to find a surgeon who
has received extensive training in the procedure and
has extensive experience performing it.
