Laparoscopic vs open cholecystectomy after ileal resection

What is known

• Ileal resection (especially >10 cm resected or re-resection) raises subsequent cholecystectomy risk ¹.
• Prophylactic cholecystectomy during ileocolic resection is not justified because cholecystectomy rates after ileal resection are low ².

What is unknown / caveats

• The retrieved crohn's-surgery corpus does not contain a laparoscopic-vs-open cholecystectomy recovery comparison in post-ileal-resection patients, so this specific question cannot be answered from what was indexed
• The facts above are the closest grounded evidence, not a recovery comparison.
