Gender-Specific Clinical Characteristics of Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Female patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were more likely to be younger, obese, have cholelithiasis, and less likely to be smokers and have comorbidities compared to males. This trend was most prominent in younger age groups. These findings emphasize the importance of recognizing and addressing gender-specific differences in clinical characteristics when managing patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
