Laparoscopic laser cholecystectomy

J Am Assoc Med Transcr. 1991 May-Jun;10(3):22, 24-7.

Abstract

The popularity of laparoscopic laser cholecystectomy is growing largely because the procedure has been found to be safe and effective. The entire gallbladder and the gallstones can be removed using this minimally invasive technique. The patient benefits are considerable as are the benefits to the health care system. New and experienced OR nurses and surgical technologists may find the training rewarding and the technology interesting.
