Conversion to Open Surgery

06/01/2016 - "The best available evidence indicated a nonsignificant difference in mortality, bile duct injury, bile leakage, overall complications, and conversion to open surgery, but a significant reduction in wound infection, hospitalization, and operation duration and improvement of the quality of life when compared early LC with delayed LC. "
04/01/2019 - "In comparison with the CLS arm, RAS cohort was associated with a significant reduction in the incidence of conversion to open surgery (ρ < 0.001, I2 = 65%; REM: OR 0.40; 95% CI 0.30,0.53), all-cause mortality (ρ < 0.001, I2 = 7%; FEM: OR 0.48; 95% CI 0.36,0.64) and wound infection (ρ < 0.001, I2 = 0%; FEM: OR 1.24; 95% CI 1.11,1.39). "
10/01/2020 - "There were no significant differences between SILC and MPLC regarding bile duct injury, bile leakage, wound infection, conversion to open surgery, retained common bile duct stones, total complication rate, and estimated blood loss. "
12/01/2018 - "No significant differences were found in the rate of wound infection (RR 0.75; 95% CI 0.51-1.11; p = 0.15), total complications (RR 0.90; 95% CI 0.58-1.39; p = 0.63), or conversion to open surgery (RR 0.94; 95% CI 0.74-1.21; p = 0.64). "
12/01/2018 - "The secondary outcomes were wound infection, total complications, conversion to open surgery, operation time, and total hospital stay. "

10/07/2016 - "Conversion to open surgery is reported in up to 30% of patients enrolled in randomized control trials comparing open and laparoscopic colorectal resection for cancer. "
09/01/2002 - "Excluding patients who underwent a palliative resection or conversion to open surgery and deaths not related to cancer, 53 pts (29 laparoscopic rectal resection, 24 open rectal resection) out of 68 are available and are the object of this study. "
01/01/2002 - "When laparoscopic surgery is performed for a tumor without invasion that has a maximum diameter of more than 6 cm or a tumor that is considered potentially malignant from preoperative imaging or endocrine studies, it is important to inform the patient and family that the tumor may be malignant and that conversion to open surgery may be necessary. "
11/21/2023 - "While the univariate analysis found male sex, procedure type, symptomatic cancers, emergency surgery, unsupervised registrars, conversion to open surgery, medical complications and higher TNM staging were associated with AL, multivariate analysis, found only procedure type remained a significant predictor of AL (total colectomy (OR 4.049, P<0.001), subtotal colectomy (OR 2.477, P<0.001) and extended right hemicolectomy (OR 2.171, P < 0.001)). "

01/01/2019 - "In addition, the study also reported three serious cases of intra-operative bleeding in the laparoscopic group which mandated conversion to open surgery, although the difference between groups was not statistically significant, RR 7.00 (95% CI 0.39 to 124.14) (very low-quality evidence). "
06/14/2016 - "In addition, the study also reported three serious cases of intra-operative bleeding in the laparoscopic group which mandated conversion to open surgery, although the difference between groups was not statistically significant, risk ratio 7.00 (95% confidence interval 0.39 to 124.14). "
03/01/2001 - "At the beginning of the trial, the decision was made to perform an intraoperative conversion to open surgery in case of bleeding (group 0), when a totally laparoscopic procedure was possible (group I), or when a 6- to 8-cm supraumbilical minilaparotomy was needed in case of technical difficulty (group II). "
03/21/2023 - "Severe femoral artery calcification is a risk factor for conversion to open surgery caused by bleeding. "
03/21/2023 - "Intraprocedural conversion to open surgery because of bleeding was necessary in 2% L and 6% XL patients (p=0.253). "

11/01/2011 - "LSC appears to be a safe and effective treatment in cases of severe acute cholecystitis that require consideration of conversion to open surgery."
02/01/2013 - "This study aimed to assess the use of early versus delayed cholecystectomy for the treatment of acute cholecystitis in terms of complications, conversion to open surgery and mean hospital stay. "
10/01/2010 - "Conversion rates and postoperative complications were not affected by gender and co-morbid diseases (P>0.05) in our study whereas acute cholecystitis were found as a risk factor for conversion to open surgery and complications according to the cases preoperatively diagnosis (P=0.001). "
01/01/2022 - "PTGBD plus laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis effectively improves surgical safety, promotes patients' postoperative recovery, and reduces the incidence of conversion to open surgery and postoperative complications with a high safety profile. "
01/01/2016 - "Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, for acute cholecystitis, during the first 24 h of onset of symptoms, significantly reduced conversion to open surgery and total hospital stay without increasing postoperative complications."

06/01/2018 - "So, we have decided to assess the safety and feasibility of such a study in our population with the following as our primary objectives: (1) to study whether laparoscopy is better compared to open approach in terms of duration of hospital stay, perioperative morbidity and early recovery from surgical trauma and (2) to study whether the laparoscopic approach is noninferior to the open approach in terms of number of lymph nodes harvested in lymphadenectomy and rate of conversion to open surgery. "
04/13/2023 - "The surgical technique is frequently difficult, with an increased risk of intraoperative injuries and conversion to open surgery. "
12/01/2022 - "Our analysis revealed that FFLC is associated with less conversion to open surgery, less time of surgery, less risk of bile duct injuries and shorter duration of hospital stay compared conventional cholecystectomy in patients with difficult cholecystectomy. "
10/01/2022 - "Those tracheobronchial injuries detected intraoperatively usually need conversion to an open procedure for appropriate management. "
08/01/2022 - "There were no common bile duct injuries, no adverse effects from ICG, no conversion to open surgery and no deaths. "
