    Author: Frei E, Middendorp J, Klaiber C, Akovbiantz A.

    Abstract:
    100 patients underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy for symptomatic gallbladder stones. In seven cases the laparoscopic procedure had to be converted into an open cholecystectomy due to bleeding, injury to the choledochus and acute cholecystitis. There were no postoperative complications. We feel that the indication for this method is broad. Independent of the size, the number and the chemical composition of calculi, this method is used for symptomatic gallbladder stones. All together the main advantages are higher comfort for the patient, better cosmetic results, shortening of hospital stay and sooner return to full activity.
