title: [Left side approach in laparoscopic cholecystectomy: first-year experience].
abstract: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be performed following two main approaches: the french technique, used by the majority of surgeons, and the anglo-saxon technique. The Authors describe the basic concept of the "left side" approach according to the Anglo-american method, underlining some of the advantages. Their one-year results (November 1990-November 1991) confirm the data already available in the Literature.
