Abstract
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is possible. Under general anesthesia, the optic and the instruments are introduced through 4 trocarsheaths. The cystic duct and artery are dissected and clipped. The gallbladder freed by the retrograde way is removed through the umbilicus. 330 laparoscopic cholecystectomies were done with few and only benign complications. The advantages are the simple post-operative course, the short hospital stay and the minimal parietal traumatism. Some limits remains in case of too much peritoneal adhesions.
