OBJECTIVE Conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) involves the use of four ports, but the number of ports has gradually been reduced to one for cosmetic reasons. however, single-incision LC is technically demanding, and there is a substantial learning curve associated with its successful application. The aim of this clinical study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of a less dema...

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...

backgrounds: there are controversies among surgeons about prophylaxis of deep vein thrombosis (dvt) in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. the aim of this study was the assessment of patients’ condition after laparoscopic cholecystectomy without any prophylactic measure. methods: 100 cases of laparoscopic cholecystectomy without dvt prophylaxis were followed by duplex scanning in the first postoperat...

Background: In Nepal, it is quite common to find patients with large stone burden and thick gallbladder wall which often leads to incision extension. We have used this extended incision to our advantage. The present technique of two port laparoscopic cholecystectomy not only helps overcoming the specimen extraction difficulties but also contributes to better cosmesis. Patients and methods: A to...

BACKGROUND A common intraoperative complication during laparoscopic cholecystectomy is gallbladder perforation with spillage of gallstones. The undesirable consequence of spilled gallstones is the formation of abscesses months or years after an operation. CASE DESCRIPTION Our clinical report describes an intraabdominal abscess formation in an 82-year-old man that developed 8 years after a lap...

BACKGROUND In standard or conventional cholecystectomy gallbladder is approach through a subcostal incision of 7-10 Cm. New technique and procedures have evolved, aiming at decreased tissue damage, pain, hospital stay and complications. This study was conducted to assess cholecystectomy through 5 Cm mini-laparotomy. METHODS This study was conducted at Department of General Surgery, Ward-26, J...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Evidence is increasing that single-port or single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a safe and feasible alternative for cholecystectomy in children. In this study, we sought to compare the single-port hybrid technique, which we originally reported in 2012, with the conventional 4-port approach, in regards of complications, outcome, operative time and cost. MET...
