Abstract:
Open cholecystectomy is employed most commonly when severe inflammation precludes identification of critical anatomy during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Several other situations, however, still require a laparotomy to remove the gallbladder. A current challenge is to teach young surgeons how to safely manage complex gallbladder disease, when there is minimal experience with open biliary surgery during residency.
