Area of Science:

  • Surgical Innovation
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

  • Conventional cholecystectomy, while effective, is associated with significant patient morbidity.
  • Minimally invasive techniques are sought to reduce surgical complications and improve patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the morbidity associated with mini-lap cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal via small subcostal incision).
  • To compare the outcomes of mini-lap cholecystectomy with conventional cholecystectomy.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective trial involving 18 consecutive patients undergoing elective mini-lap cholecystectomy.
  • Retrospective comparison with an equal number of patients who underwent conventional cholecystectomy by the same surgeon.
  • Assessment of operating time, wound complications, post-operative ileus, analgesic requirements, hospitalization, and convalescence.

Main Results:

  • No significant difference in operating time, wound infection rates, or overall post-operative complications between the two groups.
  • Mini-lap cholecystectomy group required nearly half the post-operative analgesics.
  • Reduced duration of post-operative ileus, hospitalization, and convalescence observed in the mini-lap cholecystectomy group.
  • Incision extension was required in 2 (11%) patients.

Conclusions:

  • Mini-lap cholecystectomy demonstrates significantly lower patient morbidity compared to conventional cholecystectomy.
  • This minimally invasive approach is a safe and viable alternative for gallbladder removal.
  • Reduced recovery time and pain management needs highlight the benefits of mini-lap cholecystectomy.
