Abstract:
The capability of performing major abdominal surgery while avoiding a large abdominal incision has clear benefits for patient care. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy can reduce hospital stays and the length of the recovery period, as well as decrease postoperative pain, diminish scarring, and provide significant cost savings.
