Episode 42 - Management of the Difficult Gallbladder

Join us as we discuss surgical management options for the difficult gallbladder. Is it better to open or proceed with a laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy? If the latter, fenestrated or reconstituted? What's the difference?! This week on Rounds, we have several guest professors join us to discuss their perspectives and experience on managing patients with a difficult gallbladder. Joining us from Texas (and favoring subtotal cholecystectomy) are Drs. Sharmila Dissanaike and Michael Truitt. Drs. Angela Neville and Jessica Keeley from California discuss the merits of converting to an open cholecystectomy for patients with a difficult gallbladder. Also, joining us is Dr. Christian de Virgilio, who co-moderates this lively and educational podcast episode alongside me. Support the show
