  • Title: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy: safe and feasible in emphysematous cholecystitis.
    Author: Banwell PE, Hill AD, Menzies-Gow N, Darzi A.
    Journal: Surg Laparosc Endosc; 1994 Jun; 4(3):189-91. PubMed ID: 8044360.
    Abstract:
    We report three cases of emphysematous cholecystitis managed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The diagnosis was made by ultrasound in all cases. Two patients developed postoperative infections. There were no fatalities. The mean postoperative stay was 6 days. In experienced hands, laparoscopic removal of the gallbladder in emphysematous cholecystitis is feasible with good results.
