Abstract
LSC is an important alternative to LC for the difficult gallbladder. Conversion to LSC is associated with increased patient morbidity and resource utilization leading to perceived poor outcomes, but this is due to patient factors at initial presentation. Health care providers should consider LSC if the patient may be at risk for iatrogenic injury to the biliary tract.
