From December 1995 to December 1997, 1 500 patients with gallstones or together with biliary duct stones accepted laparoscopic cholesystectomy (LC) or LC+laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCDE). There were 9 had serious complications (0.6%) occured . While the mean age was 54.9 years old. The sex ratio (female∶male) was 1∶1.25. Three cases had major biliary duct disruption, 1 case had stomach perforation, 2 cases had duodenal injuries, 1 bleeding case because cystic artery fail to clip, 1 case had postoperative cystic duct leak, and 1 case with T-tube dislodgement. All complications had been discovered during or shortly after operations. The injuries on the extrahepatic biliary duct with lengths of 0.2-0.4cm, and the gastrodenal injuries sized 0.5-1.0cm. All of the injuries had been sutured laparoscopically without sequela. The one who had postoperative cystic duct leak and jaundice accepted LCDE, proved to have a common bile duct stone. The bleeding cystic artery had been clipped well, and the dislodged T-tube replaced well. The results show if the complications which may be very serious or complex had been discovered shortly after or during the operations, its can be managed with laparoscopic technique safely by experienced operators.
