Carl Langenbuch (1846-1901) has been appropriately designated the 'creator' of surgery of the gallbladder. In the surgical treatment of gallstone disease, Langenbuch advocated cholecystectomy in favour of cholecystostomy since he realised that the gallbladder should be removed not because it contained stones but because it originated the stones. In 1882, he successfully performed the first cholecystectomy in a 43-year-old patient. The new operation gave rise to a vehement, international discussion questioning the dispensability of the gallbladder in view of its alleged role in bile physiology. The famous abdominal surgeon Lawson Tait appeared to be a strong opponent of cholecystectomy, maintaining cholecystostomy as the procedure of choice. In the medical journals, he rejected cholecystectomy in unequivocal terms. The controversy about cholecystectomy persisted for several decades, delaying its wide acceptance.

Objective To explore the indications and methods of laparosopic cholecystectomy.Methods 419 cases of laparoscopic cholecystectomy of gallbladder diseases were reviewed retrospectively.Results Indications of laparoscopic cholecystectomy were extensive while complications were less and carative effect was very good.Laparoscopic cholecystectomy could be used to treat complicated gallbladder diseases with enhancing skills.Conclusion Laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be put to use as first choice in the hospital at the basic level.

Introduction: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the gold standard treatment for gallstones. However, to avoid serious biliovascular injury, conversion is advocated for distorted anatomy at the Calot’s triangle. This study aimed to review our experience handling elective LC cases, (simple and difficult) as a district general hospital.

Objective To analyse the adva nt ages and disadvantages of minilap cholecystectomy and laparospic cholecystectomy .Methods We compared and analysed minilap cholecystectomy in 53 4 cases and laparoscopic cholecytectomy in 225 cases.Results Bo th minilap cholecystectomy and laparoscopic cholecystectomy had the features of less injury and early recovery,but minilap cholecystectomy also had the advantag es of flexibility of manipulating,fewer complications,lower expense,and generali zing easily.Conclusion Less injury operation will act a very im portant role in surgery of 21 centure.Minilap cholecystectomy can popularize eas ily in some primary hospitals.However innovation of equipment and skillful opera tion,laparoscpic cholecystectomy will possess bright tomorrow.

The article reviews 400 laparoscopic cholecystectomies performed by the author in a community hospital, including patient profiles, workups, complications, and outcomes. The results indicate the benefits of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, including reduced morbidity and rapid recovery.

A best evidence topic has been constructed using a described protocol. The three-part question addressed was: In patients undergoing cholecystectomy is the clipless laparoscopic cholecystectomy is associated with higher risk of bile leak compared to conventional cholecystectomy? The search has been devised and 6 studies were deemed to be suitable to answer the question. The outcome assessed was the rate of bile leak in clipless cholecystectomy compared to conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Authors found that the rates of bile leak in clipless laparoscopic cholecystectomy is comparable to conventional technique. Clipless cholecystectomy is feasible and safe.

The operation of cholecystectomy has been accepted by experienced surgeons as the one of choice for most cases of gallbladder disease that in former years were simply drained. The literature of late has been filled with articles by many surgeons, the enthusiastic advocating cholecystectomy for all cases, the conservative decrying its general adoption. Believing it would be of interest and profit to find out the profession's attitude in regard to the indications for cholecystectomy, I have reviewed the literature extensively and have been in correspondence with forty-five experienced abdominal surgeons. In the letters sent out the following information was asked: What percentage of cases of cholecystostomy have had a recurrence of trouble following operation? Are you performing cholecystectomy more frequently than in the past? Have the results been better than when simple drainage was used? In what cases do you consider cholecystectomy the operation of choice? What are the contraindications

Good results from endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) for removing choledochal stones following cholecystectomy, have led to increasing use of the method when the gallbladder is in situ. The need for cholecystectomy after successful EST has been questioned. As cholecystectomy in elderly patients involves substantial risk, we routinely defer cholecystectomy in such patients while they remain asymptomatic. Experience of 40 cases is reported. Thirty-four were discharged without cholecystectomy and one underwent elective cholecystectomy at his own request. The remaining 33 patients were followed up for 6-53 (mean 21.5) months. Four died from causes unrelated to gallstone disease. Symptoms requiring cholecystectomy arose in two cases (6%). We found no problems due to refraining from routine elective cholecystectomy following EST for common bile duct stones. The rarity of later symptoms appears to justify a "wait and see" attitude to post-EST cholecystectomy.
