Area of Science:

General Surgery
Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

Conventional cholecystectomy involves a 7-10 cm subcostal incision.
Evolving techniques aim to minimize tissue damage, pain, hospital stay, and complications.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of cholecystectomy using a 5 cm mini-laparotomy.

Main Methods:

A prospective study involving 100 patients (90 female, 10 male) with cholelithiasis.
Mini-cholecystectomy was performed, with results analyzed by percentage and frequency.
Mean patient age was 48 years; the study period was January 2008 to January 2009.

Main Results:

Mini-cholecystectomy was successful in 95% of cases; 5% required conversion to conventional cholecystectomy.
Average operative time was 50 minutes, with an average postoperative hospital stay of 2 days.
Postoperative complications included minor biliary leakage and wound infection in 10 cases.

Conclusions:

Mini-cholecystectomy is a safe procedure with advantages in operative time, complications, prognosis, and hospital stay.
It is a recommended alternative where laparoscopic facilities are unavailable.
