Background: Patients with prior abdominal surgeries are at higher risk of intra-peritoneal adhesions near the trocar entry site, increasing the likelihood of organ injury during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). This study evaluates a novel technique where the epigastric trocar is inserted first, after creating pneumoperitoneum, to allow safe dissection of adhesions under direct vision before placing the umbilical trocar.
Methods: This prospective study included 244 patients with symptomatic uncomplicated gallstone disease and a history of previous abdominal surgeries extending to the umbilicus.

Cholecystoenteric fistulas are a rare complication of chronic gallstone disease. If not diagnosed on time, they can cause several complications such as gallstone ileus, gastric outlet obstruction (Bouveret syndrome), cholangitis, or liver abscess. We present a case of a patient with chronic calculous cholecystitis, who was admitted due to unspecific abdominal discomfort and impaired liver function with increased cholestatic liver enzymes.
