| Summary: | Between February 1991 and Ju/y 1993, 504 laparoscopiccholecystectomies were carried out in patients with gal/bladder and choledochal lithiasis, and acule cholecystitis.Ages ranged between 8 and 85 years; with a media of48; 218 males and 286 fema/es. There was a O, 16mortality. (One patient died 6 hours after the procedurewith a heart pacemaker.)Whenever cholecochal lithiasis was suspected, CRE wascarried out, adn laparoscopic cholecystectomy wasperformed 48 hours later.
