| Popis: | The charts of all patients with acute cholecystitis undergoing either laparoscopic or minilap cholecystectomy at the Chinle Comprehensive Health Care Facility between October 1, 1991, and August 15, 1993, were retrospectively reviewed. During that period, 54 patients underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy and 45 patients had minilap procedures. The two groups had similar mean age, sex distribution, temperature, leukocyte count, gallbladder wall thickness, and duration of preoperative symptoms. While laparoscopic cholecystectomy took an average of 16 min longer to perform than minilap cholecystectomy, patients who had laparoscopic cholecystectomy had less blood loss, reduced postoperative narcotic needs, and shorter hospital stays. |
