Abstract Postoperative vaso‐occlusive disease may be a life‐threatening condition in patients affected by sickle cell disease, necessitating sometimes liver transplantation. After laparoscopic cholecystectomy, liver necrosis is usually secondary to intraoperative vascular injury. In this patient, the vaso‐occlusive crisis mimicked a vascular injury with segmental postoperative necrosis.
