“…[9394] The greatest drawbacks to open cholecystectomy are the resulting pain and weeks of disability. [26] Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become widely used since it was first performed in 1988[9596] with a complication rate probably at least as good as that of the open procedure. [97] However a patient who has undergone abdominal surgery a number of times may not be a suitable candidate for Laparoscopic cholecystectomy because of extensive adhesions around the gallbladder.…”

This review article is a tribute to the genius of Professor Erich Muhe, a man ahead of his times. We trace the development of laparoscopic cholecystectomy and detail the tribulations faced by Muhe. On the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of the first laparoscopic cholecystectomy, we take another look at some of the controversies surrounding this gold standard in the management of gallbladder disease

“…The rate for conversion because of intraoperative complications has been reported by various authors as ranging from 2% to 6% [1][2][3]. The incidence of bile duct injury in LC is 0.3% to 1.0% [1,3,4], which is higher than the incidence reported for open cholecystectomy (0.1-0.2%) [5].…”

The incidence of bile duct injury in laparoscopic cholecystectomy is 0.3% to 1.0%. This is higher than the incidence reported for open cholecystectomy (i.e., 0.1-0.2%), and the surgeons all over the world are relentlessly trying to find the ways and means to lower this incidence. Various operating strategies, techniques, and instrumentations such as the 0 degrees telescope, intraoperative cholangiogram, hydrodissection, and peanut gauze dissection have been claimed by various authors to minimize the risk of bile duct injury during cholecystectomy. However, the surgical fraternity agrees that there has been no substitute for meticulous dissection and display of various vital structures near the common bile duct. The authors describe seven anatomic landmarks encountered during laparoscopic cholecystectomy that assist in safe dissection to prevent bile duct and vascular injury. On the basis of their experience, they believe that if surgeons adhere to these landmarks, excellent results can be achieved.
