  • Title: [Laparoscopic cholecystectomy as standard intervention in symptomatic cholecystolithiasis. Experiences with 1,277 patients].
    Author: Faust H, Ladwig D, Reichel K.
    Journal: Chirurg; 1994 Mar; 65(3):194-9. PubMed ID: 8194404.
    Abstract:
    As a result of 1277 laparoscopic cholecystectomies, which were performed as a standard procedure in uncomplicated and complicated symptomatic cholecystolithiasis, the complication-rates of conventional cholecystectomy and laparoscopic cholecystectomy are compared. It can be demonstrated, that the adoption of the principles of conventional cholecystectomy into laparoscopic technique and a careful preparation can reach the same high level of safety as the so called "gold-standard".
