Background:

  • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, while common, carries potential morbidity.
  • Complications are often linked to pneumoperitoneum, the insufflation of the abdomen.
  • Existing methods may pose risks to patient safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a novel technique for laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of abdominal wall retraction.
  • To minimize complications associated with pneumoperitoneum.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a technique using abdominal wall retraction.
  • Application of this technique during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
  • Patient data collection and adverse event monitoring.

  • No recognized adverse effects were observed in the study group.
  • Abdominal wall retraction provided adequate surgical access without pneumoperitoneum.

Conclusions:

  • Abdominal wall retraction is a safe and effective alternative.
  • This method minimizes risks associated with pneumoperitoneum.
