Abstract
We report about a retrospective study of 861 conventional and 812 laparoscopic cholecystectomies (including one coelioscopic choledocholithotomy). In the conventionally operated group reoperation was required in 2.7% (1.4% relaparotomy, 1.3% secondary suture), mortality was 0.5%. After laparoscopic treatment the reoperation rate was 2% (10 relaparoscopies, 5 laparotomies, 2 secondary sutures), no mortality. Growing experience and better definition of contraindications for endoscopic cholecystectomy might improve our results in the future.
