Key Points
Both fenestrating and reconstituting laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy showed similar postoperative outcomes, despite slight variations in complications.
Among patients with Grade 2 cholecystitis, the reconstituting technique had a higher severity rate than the fenestrating approach (90% vs. 56.5%).
A total of 46 patients were analyzed, with neither technique having significant differences in operative difficulty or major complications.
Cholecystectomy techniques need further investigation due to descriptive nature and small sample size, suggesting possible variability in outcomes.
