Abstract
As long as the procedure is carried out by experienced upper gastrointestinal surgeons working within a specialist-led protocol, the conversion rate for laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be as low as 12 per cent. The timing of urgent laparoscopic cholecystectomy has no impact on the conversion rate.
