Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Cosmetic Surgery

Background:

  • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy techniques have evolved to improve cosmetic results and recovery.
  • Further cosmetic enhancement involves repositioning trocars below the pubic hairline.
  • This study details a technique combining European methods with infra-pubic trocar placement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and cosmetic outcomes of a modified laparoscopic cholecystectomy technique.
  • To assess patient satisfaction with the aesthetic results of the procedure.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective review of 72 patients (ASA physical status I and II) undergoing the modified procedure.
  • The technique involved a combination of European laparoscopic cholecystectomy with two infra-pubic trocars.

  • Data collected included operative time, hospital stay, complications, and cosmetic satisfaction.

    • Main Results:

    • Median operative time was 33.3 minutes; postoperative hospital stay averaged 2.2 days.
    • No patients required additional trocars or conversion to open surgery.
    • All patients reported high satisfaction with their postoperative cosmetic results, with no complications.

    Conclusions:

    • Modified cosmetic laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a safe and effective procedure.
    • The technique yields favorable cosmetic outcomes and high patient satisfaction.
    • Careful patient selection is recommended for optimal results.
