background port site complications following elective surgery are rare and port site infections remain the most common short long term complications. objectives the study was conducted to analyze port site complications occurring in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy for symptomatic cholelithiasis. patients and methods ninety patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were r...

results the complete response was observed in 62.2, 68.2 and 89.6 percent of o, d, and od groups, respectively. the frequency of complete response was significantly lower in od-group (p = 0.011 vs. the d and p = 0.005 vs. the o group). the need for the antiemetic drug in groups o, d, and od was 28.3, 22.8, and 6.2, respectively. the incidence of vomiting and failure in prophylaxis was observed ...

background postoperative pain is considered as a reason of patient’s delay in discharge and disability aggravation. therefore, multimodal approaches have been suggested in order to mitigate pain and decrease postoperative side effects. objectives the aim of this study was to evaluate analgesic effect of a single dose injection of dexamethasone on reducing postoperative pain in laparoscopic chol...

OBJECTIVES To report our experience with single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) for cholecystectomy and to perform a retrospective comparison with conventional 4-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS Data were prospectively collected for all patients undergoing SILS for cholecystectomy at St Mary's Hospital, Imperial College NHS Trust, London, England (n = 41 p...

results mean operative time was shortest in group a (57.1 minutes) and longest in group b [63.4 (p = 0.131)]. mean hospital stay was shortest in group a (2.1 days) and longest in group c (5.7 days) (p = 0.003). hospital expenses were minimal in group a (p = 0.001). male sex, serum bilirubin level, white blood cell (wbc) count, duration of ercp/es procedure, contracted gall bladder and large cal...

The aim of this study is to show our experience with umbilical hernia herniorrhaphy and laparoscopic cholecystectomy, both in the same act. During last 10 years we operated 89 patients with cholecystitis and pre-existing umbilical hernia. In 61 of them we performed standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy and additional sutures of abdominal wall, and in 28 patients we performed in the same act lap...

UNLABELLED Since the first laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), laparoscopic approach has been the focus of surgical authorities and continued its technical revolution. With increasing surgical experience, a trend toward even more minimally invasive approaches has led to laparoscopic surgery to new inovations. Current surgical procedures are: four ports (4PLC), still the gold standart technique, ...
