Summary

The authors describe a personal technique for the treatment of gallbladder stones using a laparoscopic approach. They first evacuate the stones with the aid of an intracorporeal ultrasonic lithotriptor (L.U.S. Olympus). They next perform a cholecystostomy or a cholecystectomy. The first 40 cases are reported, and good results were obtained.
