This study introduces a novel two-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy technique, demonstrating its feasibility and safety. While offering improved cosmesis, it did not significantly reduce post-operative pain compared to traditional methods.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical innovation
  • Minimally invasive surgery
  • Gastrointestinal surgery

Background:

  • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy typically requires 4-5 cannulas.
  • Some surgeons utilize three cannulas for reduced invasiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe and evaluate a novel two-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy technique.
  • To assess the feasibility, safety, and outcomes of this minimally invasive approach.

Main Methods:

  • A technique using two ports: a 10 mm infraumbilical Hasson port and a 5 mm medial subcostal port.
  • The procedure was attempted in seven patients.

Main Results:

  • The two-port technique was feasible in six out of seven patients.

  • A third cannula was needed in one case for gallbladder traction.
  • No complications were reported, with all patients discharged the day after surgery.
  • Cosmetic outcomes were impressive, but pain levels were similar to multi-port procedures.

    • Conclusions:

    • A two-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a feasible and safe approach.
    • This technique offers potential cosmetic benefits.
    • Further research may be needed to explore pain reduction strategies.
