Brief Summary

Introduction: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the usual approach in dealing with cholithiasis that greatly replace open approach even in acute emergency gall bladder diseases. Laparoscopic approach has great advantages than open approach but the biliary injuries are higher in laparoscopic approach than open approach. Laparoscopic approach is condemned for many years in cardiopulmonary risk patients because of its adverse impacts on cardiopulmonary systems. Performing laparoscopic cholecystectomy with low pressure pneumoperitoneum may be effective in treatment of acute gall bladder disease but with fundus first approach than classical Calot first approach. Aim: compare between initial Fundus first cholecystectomy followed by Calot dissection VS Calot only cholecystectomy in Emergency laparoscopic cholecystectomy with low pressure pneumo-peritoneum in cardiopulmonary risk patients as regard intraoperative data and postoperative complications. Patients and methods: This study prospective randomized controlled study was conducted on 470 cases with acute cholecystitis, biliary colic, mucocele and pyocele of gall bladder in emergency general surgery department. Patients were divided into 2 groups, Group A: fundus first group (235cases) and Group B (235cases): classical Calot first approach.
