Abstract
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, which once formed the basis of endoscopic surgery, is a stereotypical procedure consisting of simply dissecting the cystic duct and cystic artery and then detaching the gallbladder from the liver bed. But it has some pitfalls, such as the risk of damaging the common bile duct and misidentifying the right hepatic artery. So, although it takes only about 40–50 min to complete the procedure, we must perform the procedure with due care.
