RESUMO
UNLABELLED: In 95 children (age 6-18 y) treated for gallstones between 2002-2010, 95 laparoscopic cholecystectomies were carried out. Symptomatic cholecystolithiasis was the indication for laparoscopic cholecystectomy in most of the cases. In three patients, there was a conversion to open cholecystectomy. Postoperative complications due to failure of bile drainage arose in three patients. Restored bile drainage was secured for two biliodigestive anastomosis. Bile leak in a third patient solved a temporary biliary stent. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold standard for gallstones (Ref. 8). KEYWORDS: gallstones, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, cholecystolithiasis, bile drainage.
