All surgeons specialized in the digestive tract will have to use the laparoscopic approach in an unlimited number of operations. This has already been established in biliary tract surgery. Practising surgeons must learn to perform laparoscopic cholecystectomy by themselves, i.e. in a manner that is neither organized nor officially approved in France. Students in surgery benefit, as with other techniques, from team training. These two categories of surgeons should be able to receive a specific teaching in order to maintain the safety of biliary tract surgery at its high level of safety. To make sure that this is done, keeping national registers is strongly advised.
