| Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Utilization TABLE BACK to List of IndicatorsD R A F T |
| Cholecystectomy (surgical removal of the gall bladder) is now performed with a laparoscope in about 75 percent of uncomplicated cases. The majority of these procedures are done on an outpatient basis. In less severe cases, the laparoscopic technique is associated with fewer complications than the traditional open method. However, the laparoscopic technique might not be possible due to patient condition or anatomy. Since this report includes only those cases that are performed on hospital inpatients, it does not present a complete picture of the occurrence of this procedure. In general, higher percentages are better. |
