“…Cannulas were placed as previously described, a 10-mm laparoscope was inserted at the umbilical cannula site, and the pressure was reduced from 15 to 7 mmHg [12]. A Diamond-Flex retractor (Snowden Pencer, Tucker, GA, USA) was placed through the lateral cannula to retract the liver and facilitate the dissection of Calot's triangle [1]. Routine intraoperative cholangiography was used [12].…”

“…Palanivelu et al reported 265 LCs in cirrhotic patients and noted that liver retraction was needed in some cases to allow exposure of Calot's triangle and that RLC was resorted to in 8.3% of cases [19]. Ainslie et al noted that liver retraction and RLC confers an advantage in difficult cholecystectomies because it opens the angle between the cystic duct and bile duct and contributed to their low conversion rate with no bile duct injuries [20]. Tuveri et al reported a large series where RLC was used in 1.5% of cases due to difficult anatomy in Calot's triangle with a success rate of 80% [21].…”
