Critical View of Safety: an ideal method of ductal identification in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.
Pak J Surg Jan ;37(3):157-61.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has been the standard of care in gallstone disease since its introduction in the early 1990s. A higher rate of biliary injuries associated with LC has been at the center of debate in the literature ever since and timeless efforts have been made to circumvent this problem. Fundamentals of laparoscopic cholecystectomy have remained the same over years. Different strategies have been tried to prevent bile duct injury (BDI). Critical view of safety (CVS) is widely viewed as a safe method of ductal identification in laparoscopic cholecystectomy for preventing bile duct injury. The purpose of this article is to find out if critical view of safety is really an ideal method of identification of ductal structures during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
