The estimated AEL reached US$45 447.2 ± 5617.3 billion distributed across 16 countries, while the estimated chemical control costs and savings reached US$1988.5 billion and 1411.8 billion, respectively. Potential ACE reached 36.3 ± 5.4 Tg. CONCLUSIONS Our study provides evidence for the potential benefits of biological controllers on economic losses and carbon emissions, which can be incorporated into sustainable development in low-income countries. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.INTRODUCTION Sickle cell disease and other hemoglobinopathies are prevalent in Bahrain. In our hospital, we often encounter children with gallstones; sometimes gallstones are discovered on routine abdominal ultrasound, and in other cases, patients present with symptoms. Elective cholecystectomy has been controversial in patients with sickle cell disease and cholelithiasis because surgery can be a challenge. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the safety of elective cholecystectomy in children with sickle cell disease with cholelithiasis, as well as the safety and efficacy of a simple modification to the conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy technique using two natural creases in the skin. METHODS The modified technique employs four ports, two of which were placed in natural crease lines, specifically the umbilicus and the groin crease. The procedure was elective for patients with sickle cell disease with gallstones. All patients received either a preoperative blood transfusion or an exchange transfusion to reduce the risk of postoperative sickle cell complications. RESULTS Eighty-one patients with sickle cell disease with gallstones underwent our simple modified laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedure. The mean ± SD operative time was 58.43 ± 8.02 minutes (range, 45-80 minutes). Only eight patients (9.9%) experienced postoperative
