TLDR
Except for a higher common bile duct injury rate, laparoscopic cholecystectomy appears to be at least as safe a procedure as that of open choleCystectomy.Abstract:
ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to perform a meta-analysis of large laparoscopic cholecystectomy case-series and compare results concerning complications, particularly bile duct injury, to those reported in open cholecystectomy case-series.Summary Background DataSince the introduction of laparead more

TL;DR: It is recommended to use the lowest intraabdominal pressure allowing adequate exposure of the operative field, rather than using a routine pressure, and abdominal wall lifting combined with low-pressure pneumoperitoneum might be an alternative.

Early results of laparoscopic biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch: a case series of 40 consecutive patients.
TL;DR: Laroscopic BPD-DS is a complex, yet feasible, procedure resulting in effective weight loss with an acceptable morbidity, and a BMI >65 was associated with increased morbidity and mortality.

Laparoscopic versus open cholecystectomy for patients with symptomatic cholecystolithiasis.
TL;DR: No significant differences were observed in mortality, complications and operative time between laparoscopic and open cholecystectomy, and these results confirm the existing preference for the Laparoscopic chole Cystectomy over open CholecyStectomy.
Journal ArticleDOI
A nationwide study of conversion from laparoscopic to open cholecystectomy.
TL;DR: Three quarters of all cholecystectomies are performed laparoscopic, and the national conversion rate is 5% to 10%.

TL;DR: Compared to minilaparotomy cholecystectomy, laparoscopic choleCystectomy results in shorter hospital stay, less postoperative dysfunction, and quicker return to normal activities, but is more costly.

TL;DR: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy offers the majority of patients with symptomatic cholelithiasis an improved treatment option, resulting in significantly less postoperative pain, hospitalization, and recuperation time.
