Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Versus Mini-Laparotomy Cholecystectomy

Mini-Incision Versus Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Cholecystectomy through Mini Laparotomy Incision

Background: In standard cholecystectomy gall bladder is approached through a subcostal incision of 710cm. New techniques and procedures have evolved, aiming at decreased tissue damage, pain, hospital stay, and complications. This study was conducted to assess cholecystectomy through 5cm mini laparotomy. Material & Methods: This descriptive study was conducted at department of Surgery Khyber Tea...

Mini-laparotomy cholecystectomy in the era of laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a community-based hospital perspective.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is clearly the gold standard for symptomatic cholelithiasis. Open cholecystectomy is now reserved for difficult and problematic cases. The purpose of this paper is to propose that mini-laparotomy cholecystectomy (minicholecystectomy) can be as effective as laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This paper compares the two techniques in well-matched patients. In addition mast...

Mini-laparotomy cholecystectomy: same day discharge.

Single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy versus mini-laparoscopic cholecystectomy: A randomized clinical trial study.

BACKGROUND Surgical technique using small-diameter instruments and single-incision laparoscopy are two new options for less invasive laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). In this study, we have compared mini-LC (MLC) with single-incision LC (SILC). MATERIALS AND METHODS This study is a randomized clinical trial conducted on the patients diagnosed with symptomatic cholelithiasis who underwent LC....
