The Rationale Of Critical View Of Safety In Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. A Study Done In Al-Diwanyia Teaching Hospital, Muayad Alkhafaji, Ahmed Kh. Alsagban, Rawya Reyadh Abbood

Al-Qadisiyah Medical Journal

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has become the standard method for the removal of a diseased gallbladder. The technique most commonly employed is the infundibular approach which entails dissecting the gallbladder (GB) from it's neck upward, after dissecting the cystic artery and cystic duct using laser or electrocautery. Common bile duct (CBD) injury is one of the most serious complications of LC. Misidentification of the bile duct during dissection of the Calot's triangle can lead to such injuries.The critical view of safety (CVS) has been recently discussed in controlled study, it is characterized by dissection of the upper part of the Calot's …
