Aim: To determine the safety and benefits of single port laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Materials and methods: A search for randomized controlled trials comparing single port laparoscopic cholecystectomy with conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy was conducted using Google scholar, HighPress and SCOPUS. Results: Single port laparoscopic cholecystectomy has a longer operating time, with equiv...

background: inflammatory response following surgical trauma has long been a matter of study. results, however, have been varied. we sought to assess changes in the levels of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines in patients undergoing laparoscopic and open cholecystectomy and their impact on the clinical outcome of patients concerning the postoperative pain score. methods: the study i...

OBJECTIVE Open cholecystectomy is still widely practised, more so in the developing countries, due to the high cost of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. However, the long traditional postoperative stay (7-8 days) prevents rapid turnover and adds to the waiting list. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether mini-laparotomy cholecystectomy (MLC) can be done as a day surgery or extended day surge...

conclusions no correlation existed between cefazolin prophylaxis and postoperative infections in elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients. there may be an increased risk of infection in patients with previous cholecystitis or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. in addition, there was an increased risk of postoperative infection in patients with gallbladder rupture and suction ...

conclusions laparoscopic cholecystectomy as the method of choice in treatment of gallbladder stone is associated with high success rate. this approach is increasingly being performed because of the decrease in patients’ hospital stay, morbidity, and rapid return to normal life. patients and methods this is a retrospective study. medical records of patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystec...

conclusions intraperitoneal instillation of ropivacaine is more effective than placebo instillation at early postoperative hours in reducing postoperative abdominal pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. results abdominal pain is worse during the first 24 hours after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. after 6 and 12 hours abdominal pain was significantly less in group a compared to group b (p < 0....

CONTEXT Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become the most widely used treatment for gallbladder disease. In HMO, Medicare, and fee-for-service settings, cholecystectomy rates increased 28% to 59% after introduction of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of the introduction of laparoscopic cholecystectomy on cholecystectomy rates and the operative mortality rate in...
