Abstract We sincerely applaud the work done by Gupta et al., in which they analyzed a single-center experience regarding gallbladder perforation (GBP) management [1]. Currently, there is a lack of cohort studies to adequately describe the approach strategies and management for this pathology, with international guidelines making ambiguous recommendations [2,3]. Their study stratified GBP types and provided details regarding clinical presentation, comorbidities, preoperative diagnosis, etiology, imaging techniques, and surgical approach. The study reported a high conversion rate when a laparoscopic approach was attempted for cholecystectomy.
