title: The surgical technique of microlaparotomy cholecystectomy.
abstract: The authors are demonstrating the surgical technique of microlaparotomy cholecystectomy and the categorisation of minilaparotomy. In their 1575 unselected cases operated for cholelithiasis and their complications, 94% had microlaparotomy cholecystectomy (MLC: less than 4 cm single skin incision). 5.4% required modern minilaparotomy (4 to 6 cm incision) because of choledocholithotomy or bilioenteric fistula: and 0.3% had classical minilaparotomy (6 to 8 cm incision). In only 0.3% they converted into an incision longer than 8 cm.
