Abstract EN
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy remains the mainstay of treatment in patients with gallstone disease.
Nowadays more than ever before, patients present with more comorbidities and entities that make the laparoscopic approach composite.
One of these is the presence of lumboperitoneal (LP) shunts.
Herein, we describe a case of successful laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a patient with an LP shunt and an occipital nerve stimulator in the anterior abdominal wall.
We describe alterations in technique, aiming at surgeons that perform laparoscopic cholecystectomies with useful tips in order to successfully deliver the operation.
A brief review of the literature in the current subject is also given.
