100 patients underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy for symptomatic gallbladder stones. In seven cases the laparoscopic procedure had to be converted into an open cholecystectomy due to bleeding, choledochus injury and acute cholecystitis. There were no complications postoperatively. We feel that the indication of this method is advantageous. Independent of the size, the number and the chemical composition, this method is used for symptomatic gallbladder stones. All together the main advantages are higher comfort for the patient, better cosmetic results, shortening of hospital stay and sooner return to full activity.
