La colecistectomía laparoscópica (CL) es el tratamiento de referencia para los cálculos biliares y otras enfermedades de la vesícula biliar. Si bien la CL se ha convertido en un procedimiento muy común, a menudo realizado en entornos ambulatorios, todavía presenta riesgos para el paciente. Cada miembro del equipo perioperatorio, incluidos enfermeras tituladas, técnicos de quirófano y técnicos en esterilización, desempeña un papel fundamental en la optimización de la seguridad y eficacia de la CL. Este curso de formación analizará la incidencia y prevalencia de los cálculos biliares sintomáticos, las técnicas quirúrgicas clave establecidas para garantizar la extirpación segura de la vesícula biliar y los aspectos y actividades de seguridad fundamentales para el reprocesamiento del instrumental laparoscópico y de los suministros quirúrgicos (como los clips aplicados en el conducto cístico) que ayuden a cada paciente de CL a evitar complicaciones y lograr un resultado posoperatorio óptimo.

Laparoskopická cholecystektómia (LC) je liečba žlčových kameňova iných ochorení žlčníka. Hoci sa LC stala veľmi rozšíreným zákrokom, ktorý sa často vykonáva ambulantne, stále predstavuje pre pacienta riziká. Každý člen perioperačného tímu vrátane zdravotných sestier, chirurgických technikov a odborníkov na sterilné spracovanie zohráva kľúčovú úlohu pri optimalizácii bezpečnosti a účinnosti LC. V rámci tejto vzdelávacej aktivity sa bude diskutovať o výskyte a prevalencii symptomatických žlčových kameňov, o kľúčových chirurgických technikách zavedených na zaistenie bezpečného odstránenia žlčníka a o kritických bezpečnostných aspektoch a činnostiach týkajúcich sa renovovania laparoskopických nástrojov a chirurgických pomôcok, ako sú klipy na cystické kanály, ktoré pomáhajú každému pacientovi podstupujúcemu LC vyhnúť sa komplikáciám a dosiahnuť optimálny pooperačný výsledok.

La cholécystectomie laparoscopique (CL) est le traitement de choix pour les calculs biliaires et autres maladies de la vésicule biliaire. Si la CL est devenue une procédure très courante, souvent pratiquée en ambulatoire, elle n'en présente pas moins des risques pour le patient. Chaque membre de l'équipe péri-opératoire, y compris les infirmières, les techniciens en chirurgie et les agents de stérilisation, joue un rôle essentiel dans l'optimisation de la sécurité et de l'efficacité de la CL. Cette activité d'apprentissage abordera l'incidence et la prévalence des calculs biliaires symptomatiques, les techniques chirurgicales clés établies pour garantir une ablation de la vésicule biliaire en toute sécurité, ainsi que les aspects et activités critiques en matière de sécurité pour le retraitement des instruments laparoscopiques et les fournitures chirurgicales, telles que les clips pour le canal cystique, qui permettent à chaque patient subissant une CL d'éviter les complications et d'obtenir un résultat postopératoire optimal.
