Purpose:

  • To analyze intraoperative problems and postoperative outcomes of laparoscopic cholecystectomies.
  • To report complication rates, including conversion and relaparotomy rates.

Summary:

  • 1000 laparoscopic cholecystectomies were performed with a 1% conversion rate and 1% relaparotomy rate.
