title: [Minilaparotomy in surgical treatment of calculous cholecystitis].
abstract: A set of instruments devised by the CAN company was used in performing cholecystectomy in 15 patients. It proved adequate for the operative situation and allowed surgical manipulations to be carried out through a 30-50 mm minilaparotomy. Cases in which the approach had to be widened or intraoperative complications occurred were not encountered. The indices of external respiration function and the volumetric parameters decrease a little but are rapidly restored during the postoperative period. This confirms the mild traumatic character of the operation and is consistent with the absence of pulmonary complications and negligible manifestation of postoperative intestinal paresis.
