[Prevention and treatment of complications of laparoscopic cholecystectomy].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the prevention and the treatment of the complications of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, including bile duct injury, bile leakage and bleeding.


METHODS
1,100 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy from October 1993 to January 2003 were retrospectively analyzed.


RESULTS
Operative complications included bile duct injury in one case (0.09%), bile leakage in three cases (0.27%), and bleeding in four cases (0.36%). All these complications were cured using operation and non-operation methods.


CONCLUSIONS
To prevent bile duct injury, bile leakage as well as bleeding, abnormal cystic duct and cystic artery should be identified, and electric damage to the surrounding tissues should be avoided during operation.
