AB107. 84. Index laparoscopic cholecystectomy, our experience after the inception of acute care surgery program

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become the gold standard for the treatment of symptomatic gallstone disease. Although multiple studies have confirmed its safety, laparoscopic cholecystectomy at index admission is still not widely practiced in Ireland. We present our experience of a cohort of patients who underwent index cholecystectomy in Cork University Hospital after the start of acute care surgery program in May 2017. The aim of this study is to determine the safety of laparoscopic cholecystectomy at index admission, the rate of complications, re-admissions, length of hospital stay.
