title: [Surgical treatment of cholelithiasis in the era of minimal invasiveness].
abstract: Three hundred and eighty-four patients with cholelithiasis have been operated on at the author's department in two years. There were 186 laparoscopic cholecystectomies, 162 micro-minilaparotomies and 36 traditional operations. All but one patients recovered. The author's opinion is, that laparoscopic and micro-minilaparotomic cholecystectomies are nearly identical operations in the treatment of cholelithiasis, but the indication of the two minimal invasive methods is not the same.
