Summary

The aim of this study was to show that this technique is feasible, safe and easily reproducible and to evaluate the selection criteria for a three-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy using a 2-mm mini-port.

Conditions

  • Gallbladder Disease

Interventions

PROCEDURE

2- mini-instrument

The patient was positioned in the supine position with the head and right side up. Under general anesthesia, pneumoperitoneum (12 mmHg) was established after an 11-mm port was placed through 11-mm transumbilical incision by the open method. A 10-mm 0-degree laparoscope was inserted through this umbilical port. A 5-mm trocar was then placed in the epigastric area, and the surgeon determined through 'laparoscopic surgical view' whether the 2-mm mini-instrument could be used as the right subcostal port . If the 2-mm mini-instrument could be used as the right subcostal port, a 2-mm trocar was inserted . If not, a 5-mm trocar was inserted for the right subcostal port. Therefore, this point is the unique difference between the two groups.
