Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the standard operation for gallstone disease. The aim of this review was to scrutinize the advantages and benefits of this minimal invasive technique compared to the conventional operation according to the available literature. Regarding the evidence-based medicine criteria, the current status of laparoscopy in the treatment of cholecystolithiasis, cholecystitis and common bile duct stones has been worked out.
