Observational analysis highlights Rouvière’s sulcus to improve surgical safety in laparoscopic cholecystectomy, suggesting its essential role for surgeons.
Although the Critical View of Safety (CVS) has been established as the cornerstone of recommended surgical principles for enhancing the safety of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the identification and understanding of specific anatomical landmarks can significantly contribute to the prevention of iatrogenic bile duct injuries. Among these landmarks, Rouvière’s sulcus stands out as one of the most reliable and widely accepted references. Therefore, it is essential for biliary and minimally invasive surgeons to recognize the value of such anatomical markers in ensuring surgical efficiency and safety during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
