Abstract

The carcinoma of the gallbladder can be found mostly in a late stage. We have to expect a incidental carcinoma of the gallbladder in 1-2% after conventional cholecystectomy. We report 9 cases of unexpected carcinoma of the gallbladder after 1700 laparoscopic cholecystectomies. The time of survival were--dependent on tumor stage--2 to 36 month. We outline special items of this disease within the context of minimal-invasiv surgery.
