Abstract

A total of 92 patients were submitted to laparoscopic cholecystectomy during the period Autumn 1990-Spring 1991. The dissection of the gallbladder from the hepatic bed was performed in 40 patients using the Argon beam coagulator, in 25 using the monopolar electrocoagulator and in 27 using the Holmio laser beam. In average, with the Argon beam coagulator time procedure was respectively 2.7 and 5.4 minutes shorter than monopolar electrocoagulator and Holmio laser. Only one complication (pneumomediastinum) was correlated with the use of the Argon beam coagulator.
