We realized a retrospective study concerning 1570 cases of celioscopic cholecystectomy screened during 6 years: from September 1995 to August 2001. There were 1328 females and 242 males with a wean age of 50 years. 256 patients underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis. There were one operative death. The morbidity is weak 2.1%. The rate of conversion is 12.4%. We performed 999 operative cholangiography, we found 82 common bile duct stones. Cholangiography should be systematic.
