C‐reactive protein level as a predictor of difficult emergency laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Studies focused on C‐reactive protein (CRP) as a marker of difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy are limited to small case series. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between preoperative CRP concentration and difficulty of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in patients admitted with a biliary emergency presentation.
