Abstract

Today's era of evidence-based medicine has an inclination towards minimally invasive surgery.


Cholecystectomy is one of the first surgeries to become the treatment of choice by Laparoscopy for gallbladder diseases. However, many clinicians have made efforts to bring it to the present-day standard. To the extent that Erlich Muhe was disregarded by surgical society to perform the first Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. Nevertheless, it was acknowledged later, that Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is the state- of-the-art surgical approach for Benign Gallbladder disorders. This article pays homage to all the clinicians involved in making Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy a reality.
