In this article we discuss all contemporary methods of gallbladder disease treatment regardless of their routine or experimental use. At the moment, we can perform open cholecystectomy, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) or natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES). All these procedures complement one another. When making a decision on the choice of operative method, one should take into consideration not only the patient’s physical condition and patient’s preference but also the skills and experience of the surgeon, and current state of knowledge.
