[Laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the day surgery setting].
The first laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the Department of Surgery of the S. Giacomo Hospital in Rome was performed in April 1991. At that time, for the complete study of the patient and recovery from the operation, a mean period of five days was necessary. Our consolidated experience in laparoscopic cholecystectomy now allows us to perform the operation in the one-day surgery setting.
