Incidencia y factores asociados a coledocolitiasis luego de colecistectomía laparoscópica en el Hospital Alcívar en periodo enero 2020 a diciembre del 2022.

Abstract

Residual gallstones result from the inability to completely remove the stone after surgical procedures, leading to high costs and increased morbidity and mortality. Objective: To know the incidence of choledocholithiasis in patients after laparoscopic cholecystectomy intervention at the Alcívar hospital in the period January 2020 to December 2022. Methodology: This study was analytical, cross-sectional, retrospective, with a non-experimental design. Results: During the period, 524 laparoscopic cholecystectomies were performed, of which 59 were complicated by residual choledocholithiasis, with an incidence rate of 5.98% CI (0.4-0.7). Sociodemographic and clinical factors were advanced age, female gender, greater diameter of the common bile duct. Advanced age is associated in a statistically significant way with mortality in these patients (p <0.05). Conclusions: Residual choledocholithiasis is a rare pathology, but when it occurs it has a high mortality, especially in elderly patients.
