Cirrhosis, portal hypertension, and bleeding disorders are being considered as relative or absolute contraindications to laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). This report describes four cirrhotic patients with clinical portal hypertension in three and mild to severe bleeding tendency in all. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was uniformly successful in these patients with no complications. If the surgeon exercises extreme caution in securing hemostasis and does not overlook some details concerning patient management, LC can be efficiently and safely performed in cirrhotic patients. Compared with open cholecystectomy, LC may be even more advantageous concerning the virtual elimination of incision-related complications. Our preliminary experience is encouraging and suggests more liberal use of LC in cirrhosis-portal hypertension-bleeding tendency disease complex.
