Comparison of laparoscopic cholecystectomy with open cholecystectomy in a single center
The American Journal of Surgery, 1993In this retrospective study, we compared the results of 1,283 open cholecystectomies (OCs) performed at our medical center during the pre-laparoscopic era with 1,107 laparoscopic cholecystectomies (LCs) performed from 1990 to 1992. There was no difference in the percentage of cases of acute and chronic cholecystitis in each time period (16.8% in each),

OPEN CHOLECYSTECTOMY: A CONTROL GROUP FOR COMPARISON WITH LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery, 1992Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is rapidly becoming accepted as the best method for the treatment of symptomatic cholelithiasis. Randomized clinical trials comparing laparoscopic cholecystectomy with open cholecystectomy are unlikely to be performed. In order to compare these two operations, surgeons need an historical control group of patients who have ...
