Abstrakt: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures worldwide. A previous abdominal operation is not considered a significant risk factor for conversion to open cholecystectomy. We describe the case of an 80-year-old woman with a surgical history of a giant uncomplicated incisional midline hernia presenting at our department with choledocholithiasis and acute cholangitis. After an ERCP with extraction of common bile duct stones, a LC was planned. The first trocar was inserted in the right midclavicular line, using an open technique and a careful inspection of the abdominal cavity and the hernia sac content. An uncomplicated cholecystectomy was performed and the postoperative course was uneventful. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
