title: [Cholecystectomy via laparoscopy: one and a half year's experience].
abstract: Results of the first 175 laparoscopic cholecystectomies performed at our hospital over the last 18 months were reviewed. In 17 (9.7%) of cases, due to operatory complications, and in some cases due to instrumental deficiencies, we were obliged to perform conventional laparotomy. In 8 patients, we performed simultaneous alternative surgery during laparoscopy. Our results were satisfactory, with no important complications, no re-operations and only 6.2% of minor complications. Hospital stay was low (2.5 days), and after 10 days patients returned to normal life.
