title: [Cholecystectomy in patients with sickle-cell anemia].
abstract: The surgical treatment of cholelithiasis in patients with sickle cell anemia is rather frequently followed by the operative complications. In order to study the influence of pre-operative factors and post operative complications, 31 consecutive patients distributed in two groups has been studied. In group I, all the patients have been operated by conventional procedures with 43.75% of complications. In group II, a more appropriated technique and a better metabolic control ensured a lower morbidity (6.67%). There was no pos operative death in this series. Pre operative bilirubin levels was the only condition associated with increased pos operative morbidity.
