Gallstones: laparoscopic treatment--cholecystectomy, cholecystostomy, and lithotripsy. Our own technique.
The authors describe their own technique for the treatment of gallbladder stones using a laparoscopic approach. They first evacuate the stones with the aid of an intracorporal ultrasonic lithotriptor (Olympus, LTUS). Next they perform a cholecystostomy (17 cases) or a cholecystectomy (25 cases). The first 42 cases are reported, and the results have been good.
