[Spirometric evaluation of external respiration function in laparoscopic and mini-laparotomy cholecystectomy].

Spirometric parameters are studied in 54 patients subjected to laparoscopic cholecystectomy and cholecystectomy through a mini-laparotomy approach. The restrictive and obstructive disorders in the external respiratory function after minilaparotomy cholecystectomy are less expressed than after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Thorough examination of the external respiratory function is recommended when defining the indications for laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
