[Associated laparoscopic interventions for gallstones]

Since 1994 till 2000 the authors have performed 1152 laparoscopic cholecystectomies. Coexistent diseases of the organs of the abdominal cavity were diagnosed in 13.02% of the patients operated on by using laparoscopic techniques. In parallel the simultaneous interventions were performed for hiatal hernias, ulcer of the duodenum, commissural disease of the peritoneum, chronic duodenal obstruction, ventral hernias, diseases of the genital organs, liver and chronic appendicitis. The greater volume of the operations when performing the associated operations by the laparoscopic method does not make the course of the postoperative period more severe and gives good results in 89.3% of the patients.
