Abstract
Between November 1990 and November 1993 we performed 1000 laparoscopic cholecystectomies. The conversion rate was 1%. Also the rate of relap arotomies was 1%. Postoperative complications occurred in 5%. Intraope rative problems are described and analysed. We had no bile duct injuri es in our series. One 87-year-old patient died on the fourth postopera tive day due to mesenterial ischaemia.
