Journal of Laparoendoscopic & Advanced Surgical Techniques, 2006
The cosmetic outcome and recovery time of laparoscopic cholecystectomy has been improved by modifying the operation technique and reducing the number and size of trocars. The next step to improve cosmetic results is moving two trocars below the pubic hairline.

Laparoscopic Radical Cholecystectomy

Journal of Laparoendoscopic & Advanced Surgical Techniques, 2009
Controversy 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 ...

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy in an Infant

Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy & Percutaneous Techniques, 1992
Use 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

Laparoscopic Triple Cholecystectomy

Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy & Percutaneous Techniques, 2004
Gallbladder triplication is an unusual congenital biliary malformation, and its laparoscopic management has not been described. We report the 11th case of gallbladder triplication and the first successfully treated with laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We consider the procedure reliable and safe, after proper identification of the common biliary duct.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy in pregnancy

Current Surgery, 2002
Since the start of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, a debate about its use in the gravid patient has remained controversial. Concerns about the morbidity and mortality in the mother and fetus through all trimesters have been expressed. The objective of this retrospective review was to further evaluate the safety of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the ...

Cirrhosis and Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy & Percutaneous Techniques, 2001
Although 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.

Complications of Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

2008
The most serious cause of morbidity occurring during cholecystectomy is bile duct injury (BDI) [1, 2]. In fact, major BDIs (involving the common bile duct (CBD), main biliary confluence, or main bile ducts) can have a substantial impact on quality of life and survival of injured patients, who often are young people (mean age 44–55 years) [1, 3—5].
