title: [Laparoscopic cholecystectomy: analysis of the first 50 cases].
abstract: The initial experience of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (50 cases), has been analyzed: the incidence of laparotomy, the complication rate and the postoperative course are in agreement with the data reported in the literature: however in the second half of the cases there was a striking reduction of laparotomies and complications while the postoperative course remained unchanged. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a relatively easy technique which requires nevertheless a didactic training and a constant application. On these premises the results can be good and explain the progressive diffusion of the techniques together with the development of the mini-invasive surgery.
