Summary

Laparoscopic surgery has become the golden standard for the removal of the gallbladder. Recently, developments have been made so that operations can be performed through a natural orifice instead of the abdominal wall, thus minimizing the trauma of a procedure. This study compares the transvaginal/transumbilical cholecystectomy with the laparoscopic operation using 2-3mm instruments in female patients. It also examines the benefits and disadvantages related to postoperative pain, cosmetic aspects, and potential physiological alterations to the transvaginal approach that affect sexual intercourse.
