title: [Laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a patient with sickle-cell anemia].
abstract: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has recently become a popular alternative to traditional laparotomy and cholecystectomy in the management of patients with gallbladder disease. Elective surgical treatment of cholelithiasis in patients with sickle cell anemia has been followed by frequent postoperative complications. We present a case of elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a patient with sickle cell anemia followed by severe postoperative complications related to the hematological disease.
