Although laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a safe procedure, the rate of conversion to open cholecystectomy is still substantial. The conversion rate depends both on the indication and intraoperative complications. There is still a 10.38% morbidity associated with the procedure; however, the incidence of common bile duct injuries, which decreases with growing laparoscopic experience, was relatively low.

This report describes the case of a 73-year-old patient who presented with symptomatic uncomplicated liver cysts. Treatment of this case by laparoscopic surgery is described and a short review of the literature is presented.
