To asses our experience and to compare it with similar series published in literature with emphasis on the safety, the rate of conversion, the morbidity and mortality of the procedure. From April 2010 to December 2013, the results of 445 patients of laparoscopic cholecystectomy were retrospectively analyzed; the technique of surgery as well as the associated co-morbid conditions, the rate of conversion to open cholecystectomy, and the morbidity and mortality was analyzed and compared to other series. Simple descriptive statistics were used. The average age was 51.26 ? 21.71 years (17 - 84), there were 360 (80.89 %) females and 85 (19.1%) males. Of this study, two patients underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy while pregnant, 178 out of 445 (40 %) had co- morbid conditions. Conversion to open cholecystectomy was required in 3 (0.67 %) cases and 27 (6 %) had complications but no single biliary tract injury was noted. No mortality was recorded. The average hospital stay was (1.5 ? 1) days. With patience and meticulous technique laparoscopic cholecystectomy is safer and quicker than open cholecystectomy. Our study showed similar and sometimes favorable results in comparison to other studies
