Twenty Years of Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: Philippe Mouret—March 17, 1987

چکیده
It took more than 100 years for a new technique, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, to replace classic open cholecystectomy as the gold standard for the treatment of cholelithiasis.

Few procedures have transformed so quickly and so dramatically the daily practice of every surgeon, and laparoscopic surgery has been firmly integrated into the curriculum of general surgery residency programs.1
