Area of Science:

Minimally Invasive Surgery
Surgical Innovation
Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

Single-port laparoscopic surgery is emerging as a future trend in minimally invasive procedures.
Conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (CLC) involves multiple ports and pneumoperitoneum.
There is a need for alternative, less invasive surgical approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate a novel single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SLC) technique using an abdominal wall-lifting method without pneumoperitoneum.
To compare the outcomes of SLC with conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (CLC).

Main Methods:

A retrospective analysis of 130 patients was conducted, comparing CLC (n=69) and SLC (n=61).
The SLC technique involved a single transumbilical incision, abdominal wall lifting for distension (gasless), and specialized instruments.

Patient demographics, operative details, and postoperative outcomes were analyzed.

Main Results:

The SLC and CLC groups were comparable in terms of age, sex, disease characteristics, and comorbidities.
Key surgical outcomes including operative duration, hospital stay, complications, analgesic use, and conversion rates were not significantly different between the two groups.
The novel gasless SLC method was successfully implemented.

Conclusions:

The gasless single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a viable and effective alternative to CLC.
This technique is cost-effective, minimizes postoperative discomfort, and avoids additional scars.
Further advancements, such as articulating instruments, can improve visualization in SLC.
