Preoperative diagnosis of MS is difficult, but it is essential in the proper management of the disease. Investigations as magnetic cholangiography resonance and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatogram contribute to the success of preoperative identification. LC should be reserved to MS type I and type II highly selected cases. This pathology should be treated by experienced surgeons to decrease the risk of iatrogenia.

LC is an effective and safe procedure and should be the treatment of choice for symptomatic cholelithiasis or cholecystitis in patients with compensated cirrhosis.
