A new framework for tailoring laparoscopic cholecystectomy: Integrating preoperative clinical factors with surgical difficulty based on the Tokyo Guidelines 2018

Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The Tokyo Guidelines 2018 introduced the Surgical Difficulty Score (TGDS18) to assess laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) difficulty based on intraoperative findings.
