Comparative study of dissection of Calot’s triangle and gallbladder using monopolar hook versus harmonic scalpel in laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) using surgical electrocautery is considered to be the gold standard procedure for treatment of uncomplicated cholecystitis and cholelithiasis. The objective current study was evaluate effectiveness safety Harmonic scalpel, an advanced laparoscopic technique when compared electrocautery. Methods: From June, 2021 through December 2022, a total 50 patients were randomly allocated LC with harmonic scalpel (group 2, 25 patients) or conventional monopolar 1, patients). main outcome measures gall bladder perforation during surgery (bile leakage), stone spillage, duration surgery, hospital stay. Results: 2 groups comparable respect baseline patient characteristics. When electrocautery, Gall leakage) 12% vs. 8%, spillage 4% 52.13 min 54.89 min, stay 2.09 days 2.04 days. Conclusions: as effective safe that treating
