    Abstract:
    Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LCE) was performed in 330 patients aged from 14 to 77 years; it was completed successfully in 308 (93.3%) patients. Conversion to laparotomy and standard cholecystectomy was carried out in 22 patients (6.7%) due chiefly (86.4%) to inflammatory disorders of infrahepatic area. 188 (61%) LCE were performed for chronic calculous cholecystitis, 120--for acute calculous cholecystitis. In the latter group destructive forms of cholecystitis were revealed in 34.2% patients. Combined with LCE interventions were performed in 13 patients (4.2%). There were no lethal outcomes after LCE. Severe intra- and postoperative complications occurred in 26 (8.4%) patients; laparotomy for removing these complications was necessary in 3 patients (1%).
