ABSTRACT
The standard treatment for cholelithiasis is cholecystectomy at open operation, which requires relatively long hospitalization and long absence from work. These socio-economic factors and a desire to avoid operative trauma and its complications led to the development of noninvasive therapy. The methods used so far, stone dissolution and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, have proven unsatisfactory. The first takes a long time and has a high recurrence rate, the second has relatively frequent complications. Furthermore, both methods leave the diseased gallbladder in place. During the past year laparoscopic cholecystectomy has been developed in various centers and has been adopted in our department. We describe our initial experience with the technique in 70 cases aged 18-79 years.
