[Cholecystectomy under celioscopy].

Abstract

Cholecystectomy which is the best treatment for gallstones can be performed via laparoscopy in cases of uncomplicated stones. Thirty patients have been operated upon by this technique. The advantages are: small scars, easy recovery and short hospital stay. Nevertheless there are some risks, particularly hemorragic and traumatic complications in the biliary tract, so that operation must be done by a surgeon trained in biliary surgery.
