Expert consensus on day-case laparoscopic cholecystectomy / 临床肝胆病杂志

ABSTRACT

‍The concept of day-case surgery was first proposed by British surgeon Nicoll， referring to the surgery or procedure in which a patient completes admission and discharge within one day （24 h）. In recent years， China has gradually implemented the day-case mode of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Day-case laparoscopic cholecystectomy could significantly shorten hospital stay， reduce hospital infections， accelerate patient recovery， improve the efficiency of medical resource utilization， and reduce medical costs. In order to provide reference for exploring and developing standardized day-case laparoscopic cholecystectomy and promote the standardized application and promotion of day-case laparoscopic cholecystectomy， the Minimally Invasive Surgery Committee of the Chinese Research Hospital Association organized experts from surgery， anesthesia， and nursing to develop this expert consensus.
