“…Number of blood transfusions required had no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P = 0.06). Time to resume a normal diet was significantly shorter in the laparoscopic group (P ≤ 0.001) [35].…”

Gallstone disease is one of the common diseases. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the routine surgical treatment. However, the optimal timing and safety to perform this operation are still debated, especially in exceptional situations of each patient. In this chapter, we have collected data from many literatures to summarize the role of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in special situations that are in patients with pregnancy, cirrhosis, diagnosis of acute cholecystitis, and situs inversus.

“…Five systematic reviews comparing outcomes of open cholecystectomy (OC) versus LC for symptomatic cholelithiasis in Child-Pugh A or B cirrhotic patients, show fewer overall postoperative complications, shorter hospital stay, shorter operative time and faster resumption of a regular diet for the LC group [84][85][86][87][88][89] (LE1). Due to the high risk of liver failure and dangerous hemorrhage in Child-Pugh C patients, surgery should be avoided [90].…”

“…1,2 Even after LC, however, many patients complain of pain in the shoulder, back, and abdomen; thus, reducing postoperative discomfort after LC is an area of active research. 3 Many authors have studied various techniques, and systematic reviews have confirmed the feasibility of methods such as low-pressure pneumoperitoneum and intraperitoneal instillation of saline to reduce pain.…”
