IMann-Whitney U test You will note that our patients' postoperative pulmonary function is almost identical to that obtained by Milheiro et al. for the younger age group of less than 70 years old, suggesting that any differences between studies cannot be explained by differences in anaesthetic or operative technique.

We agree with the conclusions of Dr Milheiro and colleagues regarding the excellent results of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the elderly population. The postoperative hospital stay for our elderly patients was only 2 days which compared favourably with the 1 day required for patients under 60 years of age.
