Dr. Sue Sgambati, COPIC’s Medical Director and a colorectal surgeon, returns to the podcast to discuss risks and guidelines associated with laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Dr. Sgambati talks about the background behind utilizing this approach and how a reduced recovery time led to improved patient and provider satisfaction. However, one of the concerns that has emerged is the risk of bile duct injuries (BDIs). Dr. Sgambati focuses on guidelines developed from a multi-society consensus that identify optimal strategies for the prevention of BDIs. In particular, she highlights five key guidelines to consider, provides some real-life context from her experience as a surgeon, and reinforces the importance of documenting your thought process with any type of medical procedure.
