Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is associated with a significant risk of gallbladder perforation with spillage of bile and stones into the peritoneal cavity. The retrieval of the spilled stones is not always possible by laparoscopic technique. Majority of these cases do not have any problem in future but sometimes the lost stones lead to serious complications. The authors present a case of lo...

BACKGROUND The laparoscopic surgery has opened a new era in the field of surgery. Currently, it is accepted as the "gold standard" in the treatment of symptomatic cholelithiasis. However, laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) performed for acute cholecystitis is technically difficult because of severe inflammatory adhesions and distortion of the biliary anatomy. The objective of this study was to c...

HYPOTHESIS The use of smaller instruments during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has been proposed to reduce postoperative pain and improve cosmesis. However, despite several recent trials, the effects of the use of miniaturized instruments for LC are not well established. We hypothesized that LC using miniports (M-LC) is safe and produces less incisional pain and better cosmetic results than...

The first laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) was performed in 1987 by Philip Mouret and later established by Dubois, Perissat, Reddick, and others in 1990's (1-3). Since then, there have been many changes and improvements in the technique. Traditional LC is performed using 4 port technique. The fourth (lateral) trocar is used to grasp the fundus of the gall bladder so as to expose the Calot's tr...

PURPOSE Single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) has become a more frequently performed method for benign gallbladder diseases all over the world. The effects of SILC technique on oxidative stress have not been well documented. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of laparoscopic cholecystectomy techniques on systemic oxidative stress by using ischemia modified albumin (I...

Gastro-intestinal surgery has undergone a revolution in the recent years by the introduction of laparoscopic techniques. The concept of “keyhole surgery” created an immediate disparity between the potential of the new technique and training of surgeons to perform it. Now modern surgical methods are aimed at giving cure along with minimal invasive techniques with patient in mind, safety never be...

INTRODUCTION Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is very commonly performed surgical intervention. Acute or chronic cholecystitis, adhesions due to previous upper abdomen surgeries, Mirrizi's syndrome and obesity are common clinical conditions that can be associated with difficult cholecystectomy. In this study, we evaluated and scored the patients with difficult surgical exploration during lapar...

Aim: The aim of our study was to evaluate the causes 30-day hospital readmissions after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
 Material and Method: This evaluated patients who underwent cholecystectomy (LC) between September 2011 April 2019 were admitted within 30 days discharge for follow-up treated in general surgery clinic.
 Results: included 6,857 LC with a readmission rate 2.1%. Of patie...

results two weeks after the operation, in the lc group, the qol scores decreased significantly in physical functioning, physical status, body pain and emotional status (for all of them p ≤ 0.01), whereas, in the oc group all the aspect of qol decreased (for all of them p < 0.01), with the exception of body pain (p = 0.982) and social functioning (p = 0.502). four weeks after the operation, the ...
