Summary

This study tested a different surgical method (fundus-first) versus the standard method for removing difficult gallbladders in 174 adults. The goal was to see if the new method lowers the risk of bile duct injury, a serious complication. Participants had conditions like acute cholecystitis or a thickened gallbladder wall.
