Comparison of Double-Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy and Needlescopic Cholecystectomy

Comparison of Double-Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy and Needlescopic Cholecystectomy

Purpose: Recently, reduced port surgery is becoming popular for laparoscopic surgery. “Reduced” means reducing the size or number of ports, but it is controversial as to which procedure is better. We evaluated double-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (DILC) and needlescopic cholecystectomy (NC) as reducing number or size of ports, respectively. Method: Patient records for 51 patients underg...

Needlescopic versus laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND To systematically analyse clinical trials on needlescopic (NC) versus laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) that evaluated the effectiveness of both procedures for the management of cholelithiasis. METHODS A systematic review of the literature was undertaken. Clinical trials on NC versus LC were selected according to specific criteria and analyzed to generate summative data expressed i...

The comparison of single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy and three port laparoscopic cholecystectomy: prospective randomized study

PURPOSE Laparoscopic techniques have allowed surgeons to perform complicated intra-abdominal surgery with minimal trauma. Single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) was developed with the aim of reducing the invasiveness of conventional laparoscopy. In this study we aimed to compare results of SILS cholecystectomy and three port conventional laparoscopic (TPCL) cholecystectomy prospectively. ...

Mini-Incision Versus Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Robotic single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Single-port laparoscopy attempts to further reduce the surgical impact of minimally invasive surgery when compared to conventional laparoscopy [1–4]. Single-port laparoscopy might in general result in enhanced cosmetic outcomes and potentially reduced pain when compared to the conventional multi-port technique [5–8]. While manual single-port laparoscopy comes with certain technical limitations ...
