Mean age was 48.6 \u00b1 13.2 (range: 18 to 89) years. Indications for surgery were cholelithiasis in 1195 patients (92.4%), acute cholecystitis in 56 patients (4.4%), and gallbladder polyps in 43 patients (3.3%). The procedure was conversion to open surgery in 41 patients (3.16%), while 12 (0.9%) developed intraoperative complications. There was no mortality. Mean length of hospital stay was 1.2 (range: 1 to 6) days. The main reasons for conversation to open surgery were as follows: adhesions in the Calot\u2019s triangle  (n= 3), acute cholecystitis (n= 29), choledocholithiasis (n= 2), adhesions due to previous surgery (n= 1), dissection difficulty (n= 2), organ damage  (n= 2), anatomic variation (n= 1), and stone expulsion (n= 1).<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> Acute cholecystitis appears to be the significant factor increasing the rate of conversation to open surgery during LC procedures. Male sex and older age are the other factors increasing the risk of con- vert to open surgery. However, LC should be still the first choice of intervention.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.47717\/turkjsurg.2020.4734","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,21]],"date-time":"2020-10-21T12:11:13Z","timestamp":1603282273000},"page":"28-32","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Risk factors for conversion to open surgery in laparoscopic cholecystectomy: A single center experience"],"prefix":"10.47717","volume":"37","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0832-0477","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ali","family":"Sapmaz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6456-1868","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ahmet","family":"Serdar Karaca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2811","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref-1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Troidl H, Spangenberger W, Langen R, al-Jaziri A, Eypasch E, Neugebauer E, et al.
