Abstract

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is one of the most commonly performed surgeries around the world. Acute cholecystitis (AC) increases significantly the risks of complications during this procedure, in particular when it relates to iatrogenic biliary duct injuries (BDIs). The authors herein present the most appropriate technique when performing an LC in subjects with AC while reducing the risk of developing a BDI.
