title: [Laparoscopic cholecystectomy--advantages and disadvantages].
abstract: From march 1990 to february 1992 we performed 600 laparoscopic cholecystectomies. In 18 cases we had to change to a laparotomy because of intraoperative problems, in 3 cases we had to laparotomise patients because of postoperative complications. 9 patients (1.5%) had a wound infection. In two prospective studies we could prove that patients after laparoscopic cholecystectomy have less pain and are in a better respiratory condition than after open cholecystectomy.
