Abstract

La.paroscopic Cholecystectomy (LC) has been accepted as a procedure of choice in the treatment of symptomatic gall stones. Duer a period of 2 years, the authors haue managed 6 cases with major complications related to this new procedure. Two of the 6 cases were indigenous, the remaining four were from uarious hospitals in the region. One out of 6 cases succumbed to the visceral and uascular injur y sustained during laparoscopic cholecystectomy on account of late presentation. Various complications of l ap aroscopic cholecystectomy and the problem of under reporting particularly for the developing countries is high lighted. During the initial period of use of this technique, the complications rate is much higher than the standard procedure of open cholecystectomy. Hence the need for superuised training and regular auditing of the results.
