LAPAROSCOPIC SUBTOTAL CHOLECYSTECTOMY
In
this procedure, a part of gall bladder close to Calot’s triangle is left and
remaining part is removed. The reason for leaving behind a part of gall bladder
is either because of poor general condition of the patient which may
necessitate the faster completion of procedure or technical difficulties
because of long standing disease. The anticipated post-surgical sequalae is the
development of bile leak from the retained gall bladder which may necessitates ERCP and stenting procedure.
