Case description

CBD injury is one of the most common injuries during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. It is very important to minimize CBD injury for a laparoscopic surgeon. This video demonstrates Safe Way of Performing Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. The incidence of biliary injury after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has shown a declining trend though it may still be twice that as with open cholecystectomy. A safe cholecystectomy is one that is “safe for both the patient no bile duct/hollow viscus/vascular injury and for the operating surgeon no or minimal scope for litigation. In addition, a surgeon should be able to anticipate the operative difficulty based on various preoperative predictors, should adhere to basic principles of surgery including safe use of energy devices and use of fluorescence cholangiography using ICG.
