Abstract
Steiner et al., in their report on operative mortality among patients undergoing cholecystectomy (Feb. 10 issue),1 blame the absence of a significant reduction in total mortality after the adoption of the laparoscopic technique on the increase in the overall rate of the procedure. I believe that this deduction is not correct.Keywords
