Recently, laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become accepted as a standard operation for gallbladder torsion. Unfortunately, kyphoscoliosis is a risk factor of gallbladder torsion, and kyphoscoliosis results in a low-lying costal arch and disturbs the laparoscopic view. The present paper reports a new surgical procedure, a "rib-lifting method" for retracting the low-lying costal arch at laparoscopic cholecystectomy of gallbladder torsion with kyphoscoliosis., Hepato-Gastroenterology, 56(94-95), pp.1268-1269; 2009}, pages = {1268--1269}, title = {Rib-lifting method for retraction of the low-lying costal arch in laparoscopic cholecystectomy of gallbladder torsion with kyphoscoliosis}, volume = {56}, year = {2009} }
