The authors discusses causes of conversion after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). 16 cases of technical and emergency conversions have been presented. The link between the experience of the surgeon and the frequency of such conditions has been emphasized. It has been established that emergency conversion is a complication in LC, while technical conversion negatively affect this technique but is likely to reduce the number of major complications.
