Abstract:
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed on 394 patients at Trung Vuong Emergency Center from Sep 1998 to Oct 2002. Most of indications were symptomatic stones. The operation was difficult in 90 cases (22.8%), in which 10 cases were converted to laparotomy. Ultrasonographic findings of thickness of gallblader walls, cystic duct stones, clinical manifestations of acute inflammation were warning signs of difficult operation. Outcomes of operations were excellent with decreased complications, shorter hospitalization
