Gallbladder stones are a typical surgical diagnosis, with over a million procedures performed worldwide. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is considered the firstchoice treatment and procedure. The size of gallbladder stones varies from a few millimetres to giant/large stones. Larger stones have complex anatomy and adhesions, so the laparoscopic approach can be challenging, rare, and requires higher surgical experience.
