Summary

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is currently the standard procedure for removing the gallbladder. This procedure usually requires the insertion of four trocars into the abdomen for passage of laparoscopic instruments; each trocar requires a small incision, which results in postoperative pain and scarring. There has recently been a tremendous surge in interest within the surgical community to further reduce the pain, invasiveness, and cosmesis of laparoscopic surgery. To achieve this goal, surgeons are either reducing the number of trocars placed through the abdominal wall or eliminating them completely The goal of this project is to evaluate the feasibility of performing transvaginal cholecystectomy while obtaining safe access under laparoscopic visualization. This has the potential to decrease postoperative pain, improve cosmesis, and lead to a shorter recovery following cholecystectomy.
