Popis:	Cholecystectomy can be performed laparoscopically or laparotomically, but in uncomplicated cases, laparoscopic cholecystectomy is considered the standard procedure. In fact, this typology is associated with a significantly shorter hospital stay and convalescence compared to classic open surgery. According to the medical literature, the postoperative hospital stay after laparoscopic cholecystectomy is generally between 3 and 5 days. The "Post-operative hospitalization within 3 days" is therefore a correct indicator to verify the good performance of the structures. Using the clinical and demographic data of two groups of patients in the two-year period 2016-2017 it was possible to show an improvement by about 50% in the reduction of post-operative length of stay (LOS) by the University Hospital "San Giovanni di Dio e Ruggi d 'Aragona" of Salerno through the application of Lean techniques.
