Cholecystitis

Cholecystitis

Cholecystitis is inflammation of the gallbladder, most commonly caused by obstruction of the cystic duct. This blockage prevents bile from draining, leading to gallbladder distension, inflammation, and potentially serious complications. This condition may present acutely or chronically and can happen with or without gallstones.EtiologyAbout 95% of cholecystitis cases are calculous, caused by gallstones blocking the cystic duct, leading to bile accumulation and inflammation of the gallbladder...

This study presents a standardized four-trocar approach for Laparo-Endoscopic Single Site (LESS) cholecystectomy, making the procedure safer and more efficient for surgeons with laparoscopic skills.

Area of Science:

Minimally Invasive Surgery
Surgical Technique Optimization

Background:

Laparo-Endoscopic Single Site (LESS) cholecystectomy presents challenges for many surgeons.
A need exists for a standardized, efficient, and safe LESS cholecystectomy approach.

Framework:

A standardized four-trocar technique is proposed, mirroring conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy incisions.
Utilizes a single four-trocar port inserted through a 12-mm umbilical incision.

Implementation:

Specific trocar placements: 5-mm deflectable laparoscope (8 o'clock), bariatric grasper (4 o'clock), bent grasper (10-mm port).
Optimizes instrument triangulation and operative view, minimizing clashing.
Facilitates gallbladder retraction for critical view of cystic duct and artery.

Implications:

Standardization can accelerate LESS cholecystectomy adoption.
Aims to reduce intraoperative complications and enhance procedural safety and efficiency.
Postoperative pain management includes diaphragmatic irrigation with marcaine solution.
