Abstract

Aim: To assess the safety of laparoscopic cholecystectomy using "The Critical View of Safety" (CVS) technique for the management of gallbladder stone disease. Subjects and methods: Prospective study, describing a series of cases of patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy with CVS applied to treat venous stones at Binh Dan Hospital from January 2022 to October 2022. Results We enrolled 89 patients and recorded the following outcomes: the success rate was high, at 97.8%. The failure cases were due to large stones blocking the gallbladder neck and severe adhesions in the hepatobiliary triangle in necrotizing cholecystitis. The overall bleeding complication rate was 10.3% (9 cases) and during CVS was 6.7% (6 cases). The overall gallbladder perforation complication rate was 8% (7 cases) and during CVS was 4.4% (4 cases), with no biliary tract injuries. The postoperative complications included fluid collection in the gallbladder bed in 10.3% of cases and surgical wound infection in 2.3% of cases. All were successfully treated with conservative measures. Conclusion: We concluded that CVS is a necessary, safe, and effective diagnostic method in laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gallbladder stone disease.
