Aim: The aim of our study was to evaluate the causes of 30-day hospital readmissions after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Material and Method: This study evaluated patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) between September 2011 and April 2019 and were admitted to the hospital within 30 days after discharge for follow-up and treated in the general surgery clinic.
Results: The study included 6,857 patients who underwent LC with a readmission rate of 2.1%. Of the patients, 34.7% were hospitalized for gastrointestinal complications, 33 (22.9%) for intraabdominal infections and bilomas, and 24 (16.7%) for bile duct complications. The most common bile duct problem was bile duct stones (9%).
Conclusion: Readmissions after cholecystectomy should be evaluated in detail, and necessary interventions should be undertaken in the short term.
