Abstract:
The technique of laparoscopic cholecystectomy is, in many areas, replacing the standard open cholecystectomy as the method of choice. Many surgeons are accustomed to the use of peritoneal drainage following cholecystectomy. The authors have developed a simple, effective, and rapid, yet controlled method of placing drains into the abdominal cavity, using laparoscopic techniques.
