[Laparoscopic cholecystectomy as evolution of traditional cholecystec- tomy. Comparative evaluation].

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is a minimally invasive method of removing the gallbladder that has become an accepted procedure all over the world. Authors performed 200 LC and compare the results of first 70 procedures with a matched group of patients who have undergone traditional cholecystectomy (TC) to evaluate its safety and efficacy. The average length of operation in the LC group was 64.5 +/- 26.3 min as compared to 68.5 +/- 22.5 min in the TC group. The difference between the incidence of postoperative complications in the 2 group was not statistically significant. The average length of stay in the LC group was 2.3 +/- 1.9 days versus 5.2 +/- 1.4 in the TC group. The difference is statistically significant. The comparison between the 2 methods shows less discomfort for LC patients during postoperative course. Pain was minimal, bowel evacuation was early and spontaneous, urinary retention only occurred in 2 patients versus 21 in TC group. The difference is statistically significant. Our results confirm laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a safe, effective and cost-efficient alternative to open cholecystectomy.
