Difficult gallbladders,
operated safely.
Theme of the conference: “Shaping the Future of Surgery: Impact and Challenges in General and Minimal Access Techniques”.
Dr. Tank’s video presentation, “Difficult Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy for Acute Cholecystitis with GB Perforation”, dealt with one of the hardest situations in routine abdominal surgery — a gallbladder so inflamed that it has perforated.
It is the same operation patients come to Dwarika Hospital for, and the same safety approach documented in our own case library: identify every structure before anything is clipped or cut, and convert to open surgery only if safety demands it.
