Core Tip	Laparoscopic cholecystectomy does not damage the abdominal muscles and diaphragmatic function is significantly less affected compared to the open method. This procedure is accompanied by a lower impact on respiratory function and better oxygenation. Mobilization can occur within the first twenty-four h postoperatively, thus preventing the formation of atelectasis. Atelectasis is known to be the primary cause of infective sequelae, which are associated with increased morbidity and mortality especially for patients with deranged lung function.
