- Abstract
The article presents the authors' insights on the study "Delayed laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy in acute cholecystitis with severe fibrotic adhesions," by A. Horiuchi and colleagues in the 2008 issue. They argue that the drawback of the study was on the nonavailability of gallbladder tissue that can be used for gallbladder cancer screening. They state that they employ the same procedure with modifications such as remnant gallbladder mucosa biopsies are administered prior to cauterization.
