Abstract
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is currently the standard treatment for symptomatic gallstones. However, performing it in patients with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt raises concerns related to pneumoperitoneum, which can result in neurological, infectious, or mechanical complications. We report the case of a patient with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt who underwent surgery in our department in order to highlight the various possible complications and the precautions that must be taken.
