Abstract

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the gold standard for the treatment of symptomatic gallstones and benign gallbladder diseases. However, in a subset of patients, the procedure becomes challenging due to factors such as inflammation, fibrosis, distorted anatomy, or prior abdominal surgeries. Difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy (DLC) is associated with increased operative time, higher conversion rates to open surgery, and a greater risk of complications.
