Objective　To study the effect of minielctrocholecystectomy(MEC) for gallbladder stone. Methods　The clinical data of 4,200 cases(1991-2000) undergoing MEC were analysed restrospectively; the results of different operotors for the MEC were compared. Results　All 4,200 cases were cured. Of them, 41 cases(0.98%) had serious complications, including intraoperative bleeding in 4 cases(0.09%), biliary tract injury in 18(0.43%); stress ulcer in 8(0.19%), and residual stones of biliary tract in 11(0.26%). Conclusions　MEC has the following advantages: less trauma, short operation time, fast postoperative recovery and lower expense. The different operotors on MEC have distinguish difference in the results. It is important to preven the complications of MEC.
