[Laparoscopic cholecystectomy. A new therapeutic possibility].
We present the technique of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in some detail. The method was adapted at our clinic in August 1990. Postoperative results are very promising so far. We have reason to believe that this procedure will result in fewer postoperative complications and a smoother postoperative course for the patients, enabling them to regain physical ability much earlier than after conventional biliary surgery.
