Title: Endo-loop or Interrupted Suture Closure of Gallbladder Remnant During Laparoscopic
Subtotal Cholecystectomy- a Retrospective Analysis of Our Experience at a High-Volume

Reviewer's report:
Commendable adjustments have been made in the manuscript. However, two issues could be
looked into:
1. Fig 3 Conceptual framework of the study
The algorithm should include the idea that if the gallbladder (remnant stump) is mobilizable, the
endo-loop is applied. And if not, interrupted suturing is done.
2. Study Title
Since Endo-loop is the default closure method and interrupted suture is only used when Endo-
loop is not feasible, the comparison in the title should reflect this hierarchy.
