[Intraoperative factors predictive of failure of the ambulatory regimen after laparoscopic cholecystectomy].

Objectives: To determine which intraoperative factors during ambulatory laparoscopic cholecystectomy predict postoperative admission.

Material And Method: Between January 1999 and August 2003, we attempted 410 consecutive laparoscopic cholecystectomies. Intraoperative variables were analyzed using univariate and multivariate methods.

The learning curve in ambulatory laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Whether laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) should be performed as an outpatient procedure is still under discussion. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of surgeon's experience in ambulatory management of LC. Three hundred eighty-one consecutive elective LCs were planned as outpatient procedures.
