Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
Complications
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy
is surgery that results in the gallbladder being removed using the laparoscopic
technique. Small incisions are made so that plastic tubes can be put in
them, transmitting images of the organs so that the surgeon is able to see
into the patient without needing to make large incisions to do so as the
surgery traditionally required. There are benefits to a laparoscopic cholecystectomy,
but as with any surgical procedure a laparoscopic cholecystectomy and complications
do occur.
The introduction of laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become a more preferred
technique when compared to an open cholecystectomy because it is not as
invasive, leading to a quicker recovery time and more aesthetically pleasing
results in most instances. While benefits of a procedure can sometimes overshadow
the risks, laparoscopic cholecystectomy and complications resulting from
it has led to malpractice litigation.
Not every bile duct injury will mean malpractice was suffered, but this
type of injury can cause very serious complications and require further
treatment to fix. The risks of suffering laparoscopic cholecystectomy and
complications of the bile duct are reported significantly more frequently
than with an open cholecystectomy. In more complicated cases, laparoscopic
cholecystectomy is not always the best surgical choice.
It can be very difficult to distinguish if laparoscopic cholecystectomy
and complications because of it were the result of negligence. An attorney
specializing in laparoscopic cholecystectomy and complications cases will
be able to properly and thoroughly investigate the potential claim in order
to see if a case may be present.
