[Minimally invasive laparoscopic cholecystectomy - analgesia and pulmonary function]

This is a report on 27 patients subjected to cholecystectomy for calculous cholecystitis through minilaparotomy. In 21 of them minicholecystectomy is performed under conditions of intubation inhalatory anesthesia. In the remainder (6 cases) intraoperative epidural analgesia is approbated, proceed-in during the short postoperative period.
