Brief summary

Safe closure of the cystic duct is the critical step in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. In the literature, the investigators did not observe any prospective study analysing the use of absorbable single clip and Hem-o-lok single clip. In this prospective study, the reliability of the two methods will be compared using a single clip.

Detailed description

In this prospective randomised controlled clinical study; closure of the cystic duct in laparoscopic cholecystectomy will be performed by two different methods. Early clinical results and long-term effects on neighbouring anatomical structures will be investigated.
