Abstract:
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has become a commonplace operation in most Western nations. We are reporting the results of the first 100 operations in the Republic of Yemen. Although the techniques and the results are similar to those previously described by others, developing nations have unique problems that can also be addressed satisfactorily by minimally invasive surgery.
