We aimed to investigate long-term mortality rate and incidence of intestinal obstruction after open cholecystectomy. Reporting of this systematic review and meta-analysis was according to the PRISMA 2020 guideline. A protocol was registered at PROSPERO (CRD42020178906). We searched the databases PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane CENTRAL in February 2022 for studies on long-term complications with n > 40 and follow-up ≥ 6 months. Outcomes included mortality and intestinal obstruction. Meta-analyses were conducted, and results were presented in forest plots. Risk of bias was assessed with the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale or Cochrane risk-of-bias tool 1. We included 21 studies. Long-term mortality after open cholecystectomy was reported in 17 studies including 125,222 patients, and it ranged from 0–35%. Follow-up ranged from six months to ten years. Meta-analysis estimated a long-term mortality rate of 9.2% (95% CI 6.8–11.6). One study with 90 patients reported on mini-laparotomy and none died during the 12 months follow-up. Three studies with 66,257 patients reported on intestinal obstruction after open cholecystectomy with an incidence ranging from 0.5% to 2.6%. Follow-up ranged from 36 to 67 months. Meta-analysis estimated a long-term rate of intestinal obstruction of 2.0% (95% CI 1.0–3.0).

Hence, the day of surgery admission (DOSA) protocol is gaining popularity with safety concerns. We conducted this study in a 120-bed hospital. Our unit has four operating lists per week for elective cases. All patients who planned for elective surgery, with no medical illness or who had a controlled medical illness, were recruited. Every patient was seen in the surgical clinic with his plan of management written in his admission paper. Patients were admitted from 07:00 to 11:00 am through the special admission counter. We evaluated hospital stay, postoperative complications, and mortality. The total number of patients was 18,500 in a 13-year duration. The total number of case cancellations was 396 patients (2.1%). The general surgical procedures were 6987 (38%), the GIT procedures were 5469 (30%), the endocrine and breast procedures were 3545 (18%), the pediatric surgery procedures were 1431(8%), while urology procedures were 1068 (6%). The hospital stay was 1 day or less in 10,305 (56%) patients. The total number of patients who developed postoperative complications was 491 (2.6%). The mortality rate was 0.05% (10 patients). DOSA is a valid and safe protocol for selected patients. It minimizes hospital stays, reducing expenses.

These ducts typically run along the gallbladder (GB) bed and drain into the right hepatic duct or the common hepatic duct. Identifying these and other morbid anatomical structures at the time of routine cholecystectomy for safe surgery, the use of indocyanine green fluorescence (ICGF) is highly recommended. This case demonstrates the identification of the subvesical bile duct during dissection, which prevented inadvertent injury and bile leakage. While this was an incidental case, it serves as the basis for our argument that ICGF should be routinely used in high-volume centres. After the initial capital investment, the running costs are low.
