Abstract Laparoscopic hepatobiliary and pancreatic (HBP) surgery has been developed slowly because of technical challenges and a protracted learning curve with the exception of laparoscopic cholecystectomy [1] . Surgical treatments for benign diseases of the extrahepatic bile duct (EHBD) are classified according to their therapeutic purpose as lithotomy (i.e., choledocholithotomy) or diversion (i.e., choledochojejunostomy) [2] . General surgeons do not perform these surgeries laparoscopically because they require advanced skills and anatomical precision [3,4] . The basic skills required for laparotomy are clearly different from those used in laparoscopic procedures. Notably, experience alone is not enough to ensure successful performance of laparoscopic surgeries [1] .
