[Surgical stress in different cholecystectomies]

For determination of surgical stress degree and evaluation of long-term results prospective randomized study was carried out. Three representative groups were compared: patients undergone traditional cholecystectomy (TCE)--95 patients (1 group), laparoscopic cholecystectomy--91 patients (2 group), minimally invasive cholecystectomy--92 patients (3 group). Level of stress hormones (before, during and after surgery), parameters of external respiration (before and after surgery), doses of analgetics (or their combinations) which were necessary for adequate analgesia in early postoperative period depending on surgical method were used as objective criteria of surgical stress. Based on evaluation of patients quality life reliable difference in first three years after surgery between patients undergone TCE and ones undergone minimally-invasive surgery was demonstrated.
