Three-port versus four-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

BACKGROUND/AIMS Since the first successful laparoscopic cholecystectomy with the establishment of pneumoperitoneum in France by Mouret in 1987, it has become the golden standard for cholecystectomy. Generally techniques with four trocars have been used with surgeons but some of them prefer 3-trocar techniques. Our aim is to compare the clinical outcomes of three- and four-port techniques prospe...

Needle Port Assisted Two-Port Laparoscopic Appendicectomy

Introduction: In conventional Laparoscopic Appendicectomy, three ports are used wherein both the subumbilical and supra-pubic port sites are hidden the by the natural camouflages and the only visible scar is the third port in the iliac fossa. The third port scar can be made invisible by using a needle port for trans-parietal appendicular traction. Materials and Methods: From January 2013 to May...
