Mortality of operations on gallbladder and bile ducts performed in a training hospital.
A study was made of the mortality rate from 990 operations on the gallbladder and bile ducts performed over a period of six years. The aim was to settle the question whether this mortality rate was affected adversely by the fact that the operation was performed in a training hospital. This was found not to be the case.
