Anatomy-Guided Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Surgical Landmarks of the Right Hepatic Pedicle

This video demonstrates a laparoscopic cholecystectomy with a focused emphasis on the anatomy of the right hepatic pedicle. During the dissection, key landmarks including the right portal vein, right hepatic duct, and Rouvière’s sulcus are clearly identified and correlated with their surgical relevance. Rouvière’s sulcus is highlighted as a reliable extrabiliary landmark that helps define the safe plane of dissection and reduces the risk of bile duct injury. Careful exposure of the right hepatic duct and its relationship to the gallbladder infundibulum reinforces the importance of anatomical orientation before clipping and division. This case illustrates how meticulous, anatomy-driven dissection improves safety, especially in complex or high-risk gallbladder surgery. The video serves as an educational reference for surgeons and trainees aiming to strengthen their understanding of right hepatic pedicle anatomy. Overall, it emphasizes that safe laparoscopic cholecystectomy begins with respect for anatomy rather than speed.
