ABSTRACT
In general surgery service of the Instituto de Salud del Estado de México, Hospital General “La Perla”
we studied the relationship of the variables in male patients: Urgent open cholecystectomy, gallbladder
findings during surgery: (hidrocolecisto, piocolecisto, gangrene of the gallbladder and biliary acute
pancreatitis); the above pathologies are complications secondary to bladder obstruction by gallstones
which induced severe inflammation. Other studies have reported these complications associated to
male patients.
This is a case-control study in which accumulated cases in three consecutive years were reviewed. Nine
patients were operated on a scheduled open cholecystectomy (15%), which represent the monitoring
cases. Likewise: 46 (85%) patients undergoing urgent cholecystectomy represent the integrated cases. With
the data obtained frequency analysis was performed using an SPSS program. General complications were
development in 44 patients(80%). Gallbladder complication as piocolecisto occurred more frequently.
Thus we observed two associated variables: emergency surgery and complicated cholecystitis (empyema,
hydrops or gangrene of the gallbladder and biliary pancreatitis) related to the male gender.
