| Core Tip |
Patient safety requires increased caution and precision in decision-making when challenges are experienced during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. It is essential to incorporate valuable available diagnostic tools and alternative bailout operative interventions into the management plan for complex cases, along with recognizing when to stop or convert the approach to open cholecystectomy. Failure to accomplish this task may result in catastrophic complications during the procedure. Training and expertise are necessary preconditions for favorable outcomes. |
