  ABSTRACT: Purpose: In this study, we aimed to discuss the laparoscopic cholecystectomy in patients with end stage renal disease compared to the general population. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated a group of patients with (n = 45) and without (n = 90) end-stage renal disease undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The groups were compared in terms of length of surgery; duration of hospitalization after surgery; use of blood derivatives; mortality rates; and perioperative, postoperative, and postdischarge complications. Results: Patients with end-stage renal disease exhibited a higher frequency of associated diseases; lower hemoglobin levels; and elevated alkaline phosphatase, blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine values. Statistically significant differences were found between the two groups regarding length of surgery (83.6 ± 14.88 vs. 71.7 ± 11.42 minutes; p p p = 0.011), postoperative (p p = 0.011) rates. Among all patients with end-stage renal disease, 12 (26.7%) were converted to an open procedure (p
