  • Assessing the efficacy and safety of this technique is crucial for patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the success rate, morbidity, and recovery outcomes of laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
  • To compare the results of laparoscopic cholecystectomy with traditional open surgery.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective analysis of 375 consecutive patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy between September 1989 and January 1991.
  • Data collection included patient demographics, surgical outcomes, complications, and length of hospital stay.

Main Results:
