    Abstract

    Conversion from laparoscopic to open cholecystectomy may not be desirable due to the increased complication rate and prolonged convalescence. In Denmark, nationwide data show that 7.7% of the laparoscopic cholecystectomies are converted to open surgery. This article aims to document the relationship of gender to conversion rate and length of hospital stay after laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a national cohort of patients.
