Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has been accepted clinically in a very short time. Following an intensive training-course for manual dexterity clinical experience should be achieved in carefully selected cases. After a certain number of cholecystectomies the majority of cholecystectomies can be performed laparoscopically. The complication rate of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the hand of a well trained surgeon seams to be comparable or even smaller than in conventional procedure. The patients have significantly less pain and bodily activity starts early. The postoperative time in hospital in our clinic is two to three days. The rehabilitation-time could be shortened.
