The long-term results of laparoscopic unroofing for symptomatic solitary nonparasitic @entity99 have not been well demonstrated. During the last 8 years, five @entity1 with symptomatic solitary nonparasitic @entity99 underwent laparoscopic unroofing. Their symptoms were @entity158 (in three @entity1 ) and @entity158 (in two). Accompanying the @entity99 were @entity14784 in one case and adenomyomatosis of the gallbladder in another. Perioperative data, including operation time, estimated @entity190 , complications, hospital stay, and mortality rate, were evaluated. There were no conversions to open laparotomy. Cysts were located in segments 4 and 5 in three @entity1 , segment 3 in one, and segment 8 in another, and the mean size of the cysts was 10.4 cm in diameter (range: 7-18 cm). In four cases cholecystectomy was performed simultaneously. Mean operation time, estimated @entity190 , and postoperative hospital stay were 182 minutes (range: 72-270), 168 mL (range: minimal to 800 mL), and 9.4 days (range: 7-12), respectively. There were no deaths or instances of major morbidity. During a mean follow-up period of 66 months (range: 35-102), one @entity1 had a recurrent lesion requiring reoperation. Laparoscopic unroofing is a feasible and safe procedure for @entity1 with symptomatic solitary nonparasitic @entity99 . Strict @entity1 selection, accurate location of the @entity96 , and a sufficiently wide unroofing technique are needed for the outcome to be successful.
