Postoperatively, the patient will be kept in the hospital overnight. After discharge, follow-up examination will be conducted at 3-5 days (by telephone), 1 week, and 6 weeks following the procedure to determine the success of the procedure. Longer term follow-up will be determined by the patient's overall condition. For at least the first 3 procedures, a laparoscopic camera will be available on the sterile field and at least one laparoscopic trocar will be employed. As with any operation, we would revert to the next least invasive modality should patient safety and/or degree of difficulty dictate that it be so. In this case, should we encounter difficulties during transvaginal cholecystectomy, we would have a low threshold to revert to laparoscopic cholecystectomy or even to open cholecystectomy as needed.
