    Area of Science:

    • Minimally invasive surgical techniques
    • Gastrointestinal surgery
    • Cosmetic surgery

    Context:

    • Elective cholecystectomy is commonly performed for gallstones.
    • Traditional approaches may leave significant scarring.
    • Growing patient interest in cosmetic outcomes of surgical procedures.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of a minimally invasive, cosmetic approach to elective cholecystectomy.
    • To describe the surgical technique for achieving a small transverse incision.
    • To assess the safety and efficacy of this approach.

    Summary:

    • A transverse incision of no more than 5 cm through the rectus abdominis allows for elective cholecystectomy.
    • Strict hemostasis and careful dissection are crucial.
    • Preoperative assessment for extra-gallbladder pathology and intraoperative common bile duct inspection are mandatory.

    Impact:

    • This technique provides excellent cosmetic results for patients undergoing cholecystectomy.
    • It represents a viable option for a subset of patients seeking minimal scarring.
    • The approach has demonstrated high patient satisfaction and excellent outcomes in 125 cases over ten years.
