title: [Laparoscopic cholecystectomy versus mini-lap-cholecystectomy. Results of a prospective, randomized study].
abstract: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LCCE) was gaining acceptance rapidly, when several institutions could demonstrate the safety of this minimal invasive treatment modality. Nevertheless prospective randomised studies still are missing to prove the advantages of this new treatment modality in contrast to open cholecystectomy. 77 patients with symptomatic cholelithiasis were treated by LCCE (n = 40) or mini-lap CCE (n = 37) in a prospective, randomised study. As preliminary results, there were no differences in duration of anesthesia and operation time, perioperative complications or postoperative need for analgetics. Patients with LCCE had significant less postoperative pain, less restriction of total vital capacity and a shorter postoperative hospital stay as parameters of a diminished operative trauma.
