Background– Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold standard & most common surgical procedure for the treatment of gall stone disease performed by a laparoscopic surgeon. Even today, this procedure has a devastating complication of biliary injury. Surgical steps have been described & various guidelines have been published by surgical societies. We have compiled all the steps of safe cholecystectomy starting from the preoperative period to surgical steps & tried to describe it as 10 steps of safe cholecystectomy. Method– This study is neither a randomized control trial nor any comparison study. This article describes the 10 steps of safe cholecystectomy along with various illustrations that we follow at our institute. Conlusion– Knowledge of the different aspect of gall stone disease including its different presentation, correct time of surgery, variations in surgical anatomy & correct way of performing the procedure will lead to the ultimate common goal of every surgeon to perform a safe cholecystectomy.
