Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the most common elective surgery performed by a general surgeon. Although being routine procedure, classical pitfalls as misperception of intraoperative anatomy one leading causes bile duct injuries (BDI). The critical view safety (CVS) in LC can be new safe technique for identification to reduce such risk. Objective: To assess efficacy CVS compared with traditional infundibular technique. Methods: This comparative study included 344 patients who suffered from symptomatic gall stones.

Those unfit or bleeding disorders excluded study. Postoperatively, assessed using clinical examination possible complications. Results: main perioperative complications leak significantly reported 6.98% 9.88% respectively 0.58% 1.74% respectively. both intra-abdominal collection lower (1.16% 1.74%, respectively) than (7.58% 6.98%, respectively). Furthermore, stay was less (1.8±2.7 days) (3.14±2.8 days).
