Performing laparoscopic cholecystectomy without energy sources is feasible and safe for symptomatic cholecystolithiasis. This approach minimizes patient morbidity and allows for same-day discharge in most cases.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Innovation
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

  • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the standard for symptomatic cholecystolithiasis.
  • Energy sources used in dissection can lead to significant patient morbidity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility of performing laparoscopic cholecystectomy without energy sources.
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of this energy-free technique.

Main Methods:

  • 38 consecutive patients with symptomatic cholecystolithiasis underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
  • The procedure was performed without the use of any energy sources for dissection.

Main Results:

  • The average operative time was 33 minutes.

  • No perioperative hemodynamic instability, need for blood transfusion, conversion, or visceral injury occurred.
  • 34 out of 38 patients were discharged as day cases with uneventful postoperative follow-up.

    • Conclusions:

    • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be safely performed without energy sources.
    • This technique offers a safe alternative, potentially reducing morbidity associated with energy device use.
