Critical view of safety-basis of safe cholecystectomy

Abstract

Critical view of safety is an approach for safe cholecystectomy as it helps in identification of critically important two tubular structures, cystic duct and cystic artery, before clipping and division. CVS reduces the incidence of biliary duct injury and biliovascular injury. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy complications can be reduced by following critical view of safety approach.
