Two-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed via the “marionette” technique versus conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy in pediatrics

Mini-Incision Versus Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy vs conventional cholecystectomy in developing country.

INTRODUCTION Use of laparoscopic surgery has demanded principles of less trauma of access hence less scar and so probably less complications. Hence conventional laparoscopic surgeries were tried with natural orifice transluminal surgery (NOTES) and then single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS). With refinement in instruments and surgeons skills SILS have bridged up between conventional and N...

Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy with Conventional Instruments

INTRODUCTION: As in the modern era of laparoscopic surgery the moving trend has been towards performing less and less invasive techniques. Single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) is a simple and reliable technique in selected cases and with experience hands in advanced laparoscopic surgery. The greatest advantage of this technique is cosmesis and less post-operative pain. AIMS &OBJE...

Marionette method for transumbilical single-incision, two-trocar laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a new, simple technique.

BACKGROUND/AIMS Single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) has recently become a topic of interest among types of minimally invasive surgery. METHODOLOGY We developed a novel "marionette method"technique for performing SILC. Two 5 mm trocars were placed through a 1.5 cm transumbilical incision. In addition, a nylon suture with a laparoscopic sliding knot was used to tighten the fundu...

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy versus small incision cholecystectomy in symptomatic gallstones disease.

OBJECTIVE To compare the results and outcomes of the laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) with the small incision cholecystectomy (SIC). STUDY DESIGN Observational study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Baqiyatallah Hospital, Tehran, Iran, from February 2008 to March 2009. METHODOLOGY Patients with symptomatic gallstones that were referred and enrolled in the study for LC or SIC. Operation, anae...
