Gall bladder perforation is an uncommon complication of acute cholecystitis in present time due to increased number of cholecystectomies being offered at an early disease stage and laparoscopic cholecystectomy being a straight forward and established gold standard procedure.

We report our experience in the management of this complication using minimally invasive surgical techniques and our opinion regarding classification and its optimal management.
