Summary

Single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SPLC) offers comparable outcomes to conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (CLC) for gallbladder polyps. SPLC may provide better cosmetic results, though further research is needed.

Background:

Single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SPLC) was developed to enhance patient recovery and cosmetic outcomes compared to conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (CLC).
Gallbladder (GB) polyps represent a specific indication where SPLC's benefits are evaluated.
Exclusion of acute/chronic cholecystitis aimed to isolate the effect of SPLC on GB polyps, minimizing confounding factors.

Purpose of the Study:

To compare the clinical outcomes of SPLC versus CLC in patients with gallbladder polyps.
To assess the safety and efficacy of SPLC for managing GB polyps.
To evaluate the potential cosmetic advantages of SPLC.

Main Methods:

A case-control study involving 112 patients (56 SPLC, 56 CLC) with GB polyps between 2009 and 2011.

Keywords:

Case-control study Gallbladder polyp Single-port laparoscopy

Propensity score matching was used to control for patient characteristics (gender, age, BMI, ASA score, prior surgery, pathology).

Patients with cholecystitis were excluded to focus on GB polyps.

Main Results:

Matched patient groups showed no significant demographic or pathological differences.
Operative times were similar between SPLC and CLC, despite a trend towards shorter times for SPLC.
No significant differences were observed in hospital stay, open conversions (3 in CLC), or postoperative complications between the groups.

Conclusions:

SPLC demonstrates comparable operative results to CLC in the management of gallbladder polyps.
SPLC is as safe as CLC for GB polyps and offers potential for improved cosmetic satisfaction.
Further studies are recommended to objectively assess the cosmetic benefits of SPLC.
