Abstract
The adoption of laparoscopic cholecystectomy occurred rapidly, initially driven largely by public demand and commercial pressure, before its benefits or safety had formally been compared with the open approach through large, prospective series. Nevertheless, subsequent studies have shown it to be a generally safe procedure, performed with low overall rates of morbidity and mortality.
