ABSTRACT
Both open and laparoscopic cholecystectomy are highly safe and effective procedures for patients with symptomatic cholelithiasis.

Though underreported, major biliary tract complications still occur, more so with laparoscopic cholecystectomy and continue to be the main cause of morbidity after cholecystectomy.
