Results The laparoscopic operation was successful in 69cases,and no case was converted to laparotomy.The average operation time was(85.5?18.6)min,and the time of return of gastrointestinal function was(27.3?6.2)h. The average hospitalization time after operation was(3.9?0.8)d.There were no operative or postoperative complications , and the therapeutic results were satisfactory. Conclusions The combined laparoscopic resection of the gall bladder and other viscera is safe and feasible.
