  • To compare outcomes with traditional laparotomy cholecystectomy.

Main Methods:

  • A review of 100 consecutive patients undergoing attempted laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
  • Data collected included indications, success rates, anesthesia time, morbidity, and recovery metrics.

Main Results:

  • Successful laparoscopic cholecystectomy in 87% of patients.
  • No mortality observed; overall morbidity was 14%.
