Popis: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the “gold standard” in the treatment of symptomatic gallbladder’s lithiasis. Difficult gallbladder (DGB) means a procedure with an increased surgical risk and high conversion rate compared to standard cholecystectomy. Acute cholecystitis is the most frequent clinical condition and also scleroatrophic cholecystitis and cholecystectomy in cirrhosis represent a difficult gallbladder pattern. The conversion rate increases depending on the degree of gallbladder inflammation, patient comorbidities, and the skills of surgeon.
