Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 1998
Cholelithiasis is being recognized more frequently in the pediatric population. Although hemolytic diseases have an identifiable etiology, the origin of gallstones in approximately 80% of pediatric patients remains unknown.

Surgical Clinics of North America, 2008
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has supplanted open cholecystectomy for most gallbladder pathology. Experience has allowed the development of now well-established technical nuances, and training has raised the level of performance so that safe LC is possible. If safe cholecystectomy cannot be performed because of acute inflammation, LC tube placement

Laparoscopic Radical Cholecystectomy
Journal of Laparoendoscopic & Advanced Surgical Techniques, 2009Controversy exists as to the role of minimally invasive techniques in the management of early gallbladder cancer. The majority of early gallbladder cancers are diagnosed upon final pathology after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. For stage pT1a tumors, no further surgery is warranted; however, for pT1b or greater lesions, patients usually undergo port ...

Cirrhosis and Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy & Percutaneous Techniques, 2001Although cirrhosis has been regarded as a contraindication to laparoscopic cholecystectomy, there is increasing evidence that patients with mild to moderate cirrhosis may safely undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy with results superior to those of open cholecystectomy.

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy in an Infant
Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy & Percutaneous Techniques, 1992Use of the laparoscopic approach in traditionally open procedures has developed rapidly in recent years. Despite this intensive rate of evolution, most procedures have been done in adult patients, with pediatric patients largely excluded. This paper reviews a case report of a laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a 19-month-old male. This effort presents new
