A cost analysis of operative repair of major laparoscopic bile duct injuries
Major bile duct injuries occur infrequently after laparoscopic cholecystectomy but may result in life-threatening complications. Few data exist about the financial implications of bile duct repair. This study calculated the total inhospital costs of operative repair in a cohort of patients who …

30 day outcomes of 1000 consecutive laparoscopic cholecystectomies across four Cape Metropole hospitals in Cape Town
Background: Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (LC) is the standard of care for symptomatic gallstone disease. It has a steep learning curve and can associated with significant post operative morbidity and mortality. LC carries a morbidity of 1.6 – 5.3%, mortality of 0.05 – 0.14% and readmission rates of …
