TY - JOUR T1 - Invited critique: Minicholecystectomy AU - Orozco H, Mercado M Y1 - 1999/03/01 N1 - 10.1001/archsurg.134.3.310 JO - Archives of Surgery SP - 310 EP - 310 VL - 134 IS - 3 N2 - Seale and Ledet report their results with minicholecystectomy and explain its advantage, as a safe, cost-effective, day surgical procedure. A large series of cases is performed with virtually no complications and no common duct injuries, challenging and even surpassing all the results reported with the laparoscopic approach. Should this be the preferred approach for both rich and poor countries? Given the results reported, there can be no doubt that the surgical community worldwide could benefit from this kind of approach.
