During laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis, it is often difficult to keep the surgical view dry because of inflammation‐related tissue fragility and susceptibility to bleeding. The resulting inadequate surgical view can lead to bile duct or vascular injury. Soft coagulation systems are used to achieve hemostasis during various surgeries; however, the usefulness of soft coagulation during laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis is unclear. We here demonstrate the usefulness and feasibility of blunt dissection and soft coagulation during this procedure.
