Management Strategy of Polypoid Lesions of the Gallbladder: a Single-center Retrospective Cohort Study
Management Strategy of Polypoid Lesions of the Gallbladder: a Single-center Retrospective Cohort Study
We retrospectively review a single-center cohort of gallbladder polyps from January 2015 to May 2020. Univariate and multivariable analyses were performed to extract potential risky factors of neoplastic polyps. Also, a comparison was conducted between laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and laparoscopic polypectomy (LP) to explore factors affecting surgeons' decision on LC or LP.
Inclusion Criteria:
Surgical indications for LC included polyp diameter over 10 millimeters, or polyps accompanied by GB stones, or consideration of neoplastic polyps. Surgical indications for GB-preserving surgery included GB with normal emptying function and polyp diameter smaller than 10 millimeters, or consideration of benign non-neoplastic polyps, or asymptomatic polyps.
Exclusion Criteria:
Those do not fit for laparoscopic surgery.
