Abstract

Nine young patients with sickle hemoglobinopathies successfully underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy; no complications resulted from the procedure. The mean postoperative hospital stay was 1.6 days. This technique appears to be a safe and efficacious procedure in children with sickle hemoglobinopathies who require cholecystectomy for cholelithiasis.
