Abstract:
Background
Diabetes mellitus is associated with an increased risk of complications after abdominal surgery. We evaluated retrospectively
the impact of preoperative risk factors and outcome of diabetic patients after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) compared
with open cholecystectomy (OC) for symptomatic gallstones.
