title: A new dissecting technique of the gallbladder in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
abstract: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is still a challenge to most general surgeons because of the complexity and length of the procedure. We have developed a timesaving technique of dissecting the gallbladder by using a dissection forceps. This new method reduces the operative time by half.
