The results of 59 laparoscopic cholecystectomies performed in our clinic in the period of four months between September 1991 and January 1992 were compared with 78 open cholecytestomies performed in the same period. Operating time in the laparoscopic cholecystectomy group (75.6 ± 4.8 min.) was significantly longer than that of open cholecystectomy group (45.5 ±1.7 min.) (T=-5.9,p<0.01) while hospitalization time (2.0 ± 0.2 days) was significantly shorter than that of open cholecystectomy group (8.3 ± 0.3 days) (T = 17.5, p<0.01) There were not any morbidity and mortality in the laparoscopic cholecystectomy cases. The return to active life was in 7 days for laparoscopic cholecystectomy group while it was in 30 - 45 days for open cholecystectomy group. Therefore, we consider that laparoscopic cholecystectomy should be preferred for these advantages in gallbladder surgery.
