Core Tip	Cholelithiasis occurs more frequently in liver cirrhosis patients with hypersplenism than in the general population. The recent significant advances in minimally invasive surgery have aroused surgeons’ interest in performing combined laparoscopic procedures. Here, we report our experience with concomitant laparoscopic cholecystectomy and splenectomy in liver cirrhosis patients. This is the first reported case series of its kind and will provide useful clinical information to physicians facing the challenge of treating cirrhotic patients who are in need of surgical attention to address coexisting abdominal diseases.
