The HPB subset had higher burden of comorbid disease and significantly lower projected 10-year survival (87.4% ACS vs 68.5% HPB, P &lt; .0001). Median lengths of stay were longer in HPB patients (2 vs 5 days, P &lt; .0001) as were readmission rates (30-day 5.6% vs 13.1%, P = .040; 90-day 7.9% vs 20.5%, P = .005). Median cost was higher including operative supply cost ($969.42 vs $1920.66, P &lt; .0001) and total cost of care ($7340.66 vs $19 338.05, P &lt; .0001). A predictive scoring system for difficult gallbladders was constructed and a phone application was created.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Cholecystectomy in a complicated patient can be difficult with longer hospital stays and higher costs.
