Single trocar access (SITRACC) enables feasible and safe cholecystectomy. This minimally invasive approach offers rapid recovery and less pain for patients undergoing gallbladder removal surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Innovation
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

  • Endoscopic surgery has transformed global surgical practices.
  • Minimally invasive procedures offer reduced patient pain and faster recovery.
  • The single-port access technique, SITRACC, represents a novel surgical approach.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and safety of the single trocar access (SITRACC) method for cholecystectomy.
  • To report the outcomes of the first multicenter study on SITRACC cholecystectomies.

Main Methods:

  • A multicenter study involving 9 Brazilian surgery centers.
  • 81 cholecystectomies were performed using the SITRACC technique between December 2008 and June 2009.

Laparoscopic Anterior Right Hepatectomy: A Single-Center Experience

Published on: December 4, 2023

Main Results:

  • The average operative time for SITRACC cholecystectomies was 68 minutes.
  • 10 surgeries (12.3%) required an additional trocar due to technical challenges.
  • 3 cholecystectomies (3.7%) were converted to standard laparoscopy.

Conclusions:

  • Cholecystectomy performed with the SITRACC method is both feasible and safe.
  • The SITRACC technique demonstrates potential as a viable minimally invasive option for cholecystectomy.
