Department of Surgery, Security Forces Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

A total of 307 consecutive patients with symptomatic gallstones were admitted for cholecystectomy. Two hundred seventy patients (88%) were considered suitable for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Forty-two of these (17%) were admitted on an emergency basis. The procedure was accomplished successfully in 246 patients (91%), while in the remaining 24 patients (9%), the attempt had to be abandoned and converted to open cholecystectomy. Postoperative complications, mostly minor, occurred in 22 patients (9%). Suspected common bile duct stones were treated with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) prior to surgery. The mean operative time was 82 minutes and 70% of the patients were discharged home within 489 hours after surgery and more than 90% were sent home by the third postoperative day. The results suggest that laparoscopic cholecystectomy is feasible for the majority of patients with symptomatic gallstones.
