Abstract Background and objectives: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has a 0.3% to 0.5% morbidity rate due to major biliary injuries. The majority of surgeons have routinely performed the so-called "infundibular" technique for gallbladder hilar dissection since the introduction of laparoscopy in the early nineties. The "critical view of safety" approach has only been recently discussed in controlled studies. It is characterized by a blunt dissection of the upper part of Calot's space, which does not usually contain arterial or biliary anomalies and is therefore ideal for a safe dissection, even in less experienced hands.
Materials and methods: We applied and compared the critical view of safety triangle approach with the infundibular approach in a retrospective cohort study. We divided 174 patients into 2 groups, with a similar case-mix (cholelithiasis, chronic cholecystitis, and acute cholecystitis). Results of operations performed by a young surgeon using critical view of safety dissection were compared to results of the infundibular approach performed by an experienced surgeon. Outcome values and operative times were examined with univariate analysis (Student t test).
Results: No difference occurred in terms of morbidity (even though comparison for biliary injuries is inconclusive because of insufficient power) and outcome; significant differences were found in operative time, favoring the critical view of safety approach in every stage of gallbladder disease, with minor significance for acute cases.
Conclusion: We suggest this technique as the gold standard for resident teaching, because it has a similar rate of biliary and hemorrhagic complications but has a shorter operative time, builds self-confidence, and is a simple standardized method both for complicated and uncomplicated gallbladder lithiasis.
