Introduction: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy currently remains the gold standard worldwide [1-3]. While in our country, it is hampered by material difficulties and the training of medical and paramedical personnel in its use and maintenance [4, 5], it still remains inaccessible to the entire population. We report the preliminary assessment of the 03 years of laparoscopic cholecystectomies carried out at the Angré University Hospital since its inauguration in 2020. Materials and Methods: We carried out a retrospective study at Angré University Hospital, over a period from January 2020 to October 2022. Results: We collected 35 patients including 25 women and 10 men. Gallstone lithiasis predominated in 21 cases. The intervention was postponed in 28 cases. The intervention was delayed in 28 cases with 8 cases of gallbladder plastron and 2 cases of pyocholecyst. The average duration of intervention was 73.41 min. The hospitalization period was 01 day in 25 cases. We noted 1 case of fever and 1 case of postoperative common bile duct stenosis. Conclusion: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy reduced morbidity and reduced treatment costs.
