title: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy technique for removal of the gallbladder from the peritoneal cavity.
abstract: A new laparoscopic cholecystectomy technique for removing the gallbladder from the peritoneal cavity through the umbilical incision is presented. This method is faster than the traditional technique and eliminates the necessity of transferring the camera from the umbilical port to a second port.
