No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The case study is planned to emanate a comparison between transumbilical pneumoperitoneum and infraumbilical in patients that undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy. It concentrates on the port access time, events during intraoperative access, postoperative change of events, pain, hospitalization, and cosmetic satisfaction. Through evaluation of both technical and patient centred outcomes, this study can help elucidate on whether transumbilical approach possesses practical benefits compared with its alternative, the conventional method of infraumbilical, without adding risk to the operations. These findings can justify other safer, more efficient and aesthetically correct primary port placement in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Conditions

  • Cholelithiases

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Transumbilical pneumoperitoneum

In transumbilical group, umbilical cicatrix was incised and primary port was inserted by the use of the transumbilical route to create pneumoperitoneum.

PROCEDURE

Infraumbilical pneumoperitoneum

In the infraumbilical group, a skin incision was made just below the umbilicus, and the primary port was introduced through the infraumbilical route. Another routine surgical procedure at the study center was the creation of a pneumoperitoneum. Once pneumoperitoneum was created successfully, laparoscope was inserted and the rest of ports were done under direct vision as per the traditional laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedure
