Gall bladder wall thickness and C-reactive protein as a predictor of difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy by Nair A, Appukuttan A, Mathew J, Oommen AN, Joseph A

“…Currently, the duration of a patient’s symptoms is the main criterion for assessing surgical risk. In this study, we hypothesized that increased gallbladder wall thickness and elevated preoperative C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, which are objective markers of inflammation or fibrosis, would be linked to increased difficulty in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. …”
