The common complications after laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be divided into two categories: medical and surgical. The occurrence of medical complications is not much different from that of general cesarean surgery, however, due to the shortened operative time and small wound size of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, underdilation of the airway is less common. In addition, urinary tract infections and phlebitis are also rare. The common surgical complications include: (1) bile leakage; (2) bile duct obstruction; (3) residual common bile duct stones; (4) wound infection; (5) shoulder soreness; (6) peritoneal effusion; and (7) abdominal bleeding. The chance of complications is low, about 0-3%, and most of them can be cured under the careful care of medical staff.
