Abstract:
Between November 1990 and November 1993 we performed 1000 laparoscopic cholecystectomies. The conversion rate was 1%. Also the rate of relaparotomies was 1%. Postoperative complications occurred in 5%. Intraoperative problems are described and analysed. We had no bile duct injuries in our series. One 87-year-old patient died on the fourth postoperative day due to mesenterial ischaemia.

This condition may present acutely or chronically and can happen with or without gallstones.EtiologyAbout 95% of cholecystitis cases are calculous, caused by gallstones blocking the cystic duct, leading to bile accumulation and inflammation of the gallbladder...
