We present a case of a middle-aged female who attended for a routine laparoscopic cholecystectomy as a day case surgery. At operation, she was found to have a distended gallbladder with an unusually prominent distal portion. This has made the dissection of the Calot's triangle challenging. As a result, the "critical view of safety" technique was applied. This allowed for the clear Calot's triangle visualization and identification of the cystic duct and artery. This case highlights that the knowledge of various ways of the cystic duct dissection is essential to every surgeon. Furthermore, this helps to adjust the dissection approach on an individual case bases ensuring avoidance of the common bile duct injuries.
