title: [Does laparoscopic surgery affect immunity?].
abstract: In a prospective study including 20 laparoscopic cholecystectomies, markers of the humoral (immunoglobuline) and cell mediated (lymphocytes and sub population T4/T8) have been assessed on 1st, 3nd and 8th post-operative days. There is no significant variation (except total lymphocyte count) within the limits of normality. This study suggests that laparoscopic surgery dont affect immunity. Laparoscopy seems to be preferable for immunodepressed patients (AIDS, cancer).
