Gallstone-related acute cholecystitis is the most common reason for cholecystectomy, with laparoscopic cholecystectomy being the current gold standard approach. Gallstones larger than five centimeters, known as ‘giant gallstones,’ are quite rare. Data on the safety of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in cases with giant gallstones are limited. In this case presentation, we discuss the emergency laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed for acute cholecystitis due to a giant gallstone.
