[1-year follow-up of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in an unselected patient sample. Objective findings and subjective status].
We report on the 1-year follow-up after laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a consecutive series of 116 unselected patients. So far no such follow-up data have been published. The follow-up rate was 94%. All patients have been personally assessed on the base of a standardized follow-up form either at the hospital (58%) or by the general practitioner (42%). Using an adapted modified Visick classification we have found an excellent or good result in 96% of the patients. Although there were some minor dyspeptic complaints and a few abnormal laboratory findings no patient had a suspicion of residual or recurrent gall stones. There has been no reoperation. In conclusion laparoscopic cholecystectomy yields very satisfactory short-term results 1 year after operation even in an unselected population of patients.
