Among 42 patients with type I gallbladder perforations, 28 underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and 14 had conversion to open cholecystectomy (COC). Significant differences included the location of perforations, with LC more common for fundal perforations, while COC was often required for neck perforations. LC had shorter surgical times and younger surgeons compared to COC. Factors influencing conversion included perforation site proximity to Calot’s triangle, Charlson comorbidity index, and Tokyo classification.
• Why it matters: Managing gallbladder perforations is complex.
