Sumario:Laparoscopic surgery has become a durable alternative for both gynecologic and general surgical procedures, but reported complications are increasing. We describe the case of a 70-year-old male undergoing routine laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gallstone pancreatitis who developed asystolic cardiac arrest intraoperatively. A review of the literature revealed 2 cases of asystolic cardiac arrest during laparoscopy: one was during laparoscopic cholecystectomy and one was during diagnostic laparoscopy for gynecologic evaluation.
