Part of the book series: Updates in Surgery ((UPDATESSURG))

  • 2007 Accesses

Abstract

The Shakespearian-like dilemma facing the general surgeon — to open or not to open [the abdomen] — before being ready to perform a laparoscopic chole- cystectomy (LC) was hotly debated at round tables and symposia in the early days of the laparoscopic era.
