Objective: To assess morbidity and mortality of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) at the Regional Hospital of High Specialty (HRAEO, for its initials in Spanish). Setting: Regional Hospital of High Specialty of Oaxaca (third level health care center). Design: Retrospective, cross-sectional, descriptive, comparative study. Statistical analysis: Bivariate statistical analysis with central tendency measures and chi square. Patients and methods: Patients subjected to LC from January 2010 to December 2011. We assessed surgical time, transoperative bleeding, percentage of conversion, days of in-hospital stay, transoperative and postoperative complications. Results: A total of 386 patients were included, 68 (17.6%) were men of 43.51 ± 16.8 years of age. We identified: one patient with biliary tract lesion (0.3%), one patient with biliary leakage (0.3%), two patients with residual bilomas (0.5%), and a conversion percentage of 2.8% (11 cases). One patient died in the group of three ports due to acute cholangitis (global mortality = 0.3%). Percentage of complications was 4.9%; three ports were used in 355 (92%) patients and four ports in 31 (8%). When comparing both techniques, in-hospital stay was lower in the three ports group, 1.92 ± 1.22 days versus 2.87 ± 2.84 days (p = 0.0001); bleeding was lower, 55.23 + 123.48 ml versus 114.52 ± 193.04 ml (p = 0.0001); as well as surgical time, 71.05 ± 41.87 min versus 110.26 ± 61.25 min (p = 0.0001). There were no differences in morbidity (frequency of fistulae and injuries to the biliary tract). Conclusions: Morbidity and mortality of LC at the HRAEO is similar to that reported in the world literature. The use of three ports, as compared to four ports, demonstrated a lower surgical time, in-hospital stay, and bleeding.
