[The effect of co-existing diseases with cholelithiasis on the course and results of laparoscopic cholecystectomy].

Abstract
Six hundred laparoscopic cholecystectomies have been performed in patients with cholelithiasis. Co-existing chronic diseases have been noted in 28% of the operated patients. All these diseases have been known to increase operative risk in classic (open) cholecystectomy (hypertension, coronary disease, cardiac arrhythmias, diabetes mellitus, bronchial asthma). Statistical analysis of the body temperature following laparoscopic cholecystectomy, morbidity and duration of the postoperative hospitalization has revealed that there has been no significant increase in operative risk for laparoscopic cholecystectomy in these patients.
