Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has become the gold standard treatment for benign gallbladder disease since it was first introduced by Mühe in 1985, followed by Mouret in 1987. The laparoscopic cholecystectomy is defined as the removal of gallbladder through a key-hole-sized incision, this procedure is associated with less postoperative pain and better aesthetic results. The frequency of LC complications varies among 0.5% to 6%, leading to a new spectrum of intraoperative and postoperative complications, being the iatrogenic perforation of the gallbladder with an incidence of 10-30% the principal intraoperative complication. With the advent of laparoscopic cholecystectomies, the indications to perform an open cholecystectomy have decreased.The most common cause (2% to 10%) to do an open cholecystectomy is performed is when converting from a laparoscopic to open cholecystectomy. The principal predictors of complications regardless LC or PC are: gallbladder wall thickness >3mm, Acute Cholecystitis (AC), obesity, male sex, and instrumentation failure. Nevertheless in Sankpal study which evaluated 220LC and 220OC it shown no significant difference in the incidence of complications between these two types of surgery. When analyzing the literature it can be observed that there is no difference between laparoscopic and open cholecystectomy with respect to complications and indications. However, when performing a laparoscopic cholecystectomy there is always a risk of becoming an open cholecystectomy, even so the laparoscopic cholecystectomy continues to be the gold standard and there are advantages of laparoscopic surgery include in comparison with the open procedure like: reduction in tissue trauma, early ambulation, reduced adhesion formation, early return to work and less medication, which certainly make it the choice for treatment in the present.
