In 2 1/2 years we performed at the St. Clara Hospital in Basel 954 cholecystectomies; 661 were done laparoscopically. In the laparoscopic group we observed a morbidity of 2.3%, a reoperation rate of 0.6% and a mortality of 0.15%. In the group with open cholecystectomy the morbidity was 9.9% and the mortality 1.3%. In all 954 patients who had a cholecystectomy the morbidity was 4.6%, reoperation rate 0.4% and mortality 0.5%. Because of negative patient selection a comparison with the open cholecystectomy in our series is not possible. In summary we can say that the laparoscopic procedure has a low morbidity and low mortality. With the lesser operative trauma it allows a shorter hospital stay. We believe that laparoscopic cholecystectomy with good indication will replace open cholecystectomy as the gold standard therapy of symptomatic gallstone disease.
