Laparoscopic cholecystectomy following abdominal surgery of the lower part of abdomen

In this prospective study, laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed in patients with previous abdominal surgery of the lower part of abdomen. According to authors experience, the usual method of 'blind' beginning of the laparoscopic procedure, with safety tests, is a safe and reliable method to start the laparoscopic procedure, even in these patients. This method does not carry a higher risk of intra-abdominal injury.
