Discussion

Observational study reveals conversion rates and associated factors in day-case laparoscopic cholecystectomy in England.

The conversion rate from planned day-case to in-patient laparoscopic cholecystectomy was 26.1%, indicating notable patient challenges.
Older patients, those with more comorbidities, and low annual volume surgeons were more likely to experience conversion.
Post-procedural complications like pain and haemorrhage significantly increased conversion likelihood from day-case to in-patient.
Conversion to in-patient stay resulted in higher emergency admissions, suggesting issues with same-day discharge safety.

Olagunju et al. (2025) studied this question.
