Objective To investigate the risk factors leading to complications in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Methods Clinical data of 11?974 patients undergoing LC from Mar. 1991 to June 2003 were collected and analyzed retrospectively. Fifteen clinical factors were recruited for the study in relation to surgical complications. Data were analyzed by ?2 test and Logistic regression. Results The overall operative complication rate was 1.896%. The procedure was shifted to open surgery in 2.389% of all cases, Logistic regression analysis revealed that Calot triangle adhesion, stage, expertise of the team, gallbladder wall thickness, gallbladder and vicinity adhesion were important risk factors for complications. Conclusion LC complications can be prevented by good training, strictly following protocol, and timely shifting to open surgery.
