A retrospective analysis of 80 patients showed that laparoscopic completion cholecystectomy significantly outperformed the open approach in terms of operative time, recovery speed, and hospital stay. Patients previously undergoing open partial cholecystectomy experienced abdominal pain and other symptoms, yet the prior procedure did not impede laparoscopic intervention. The study suggests that laparoscopy is a viable and preferable method for completing cholecystectomy, leading to enhanced perioperative results.
