Needlescopic surgery uses tiny instruments for nearly invisible wounds. This case shows a successful retrograde needlescopic cholecystectomy for an inflamed gallbladder, expanding its application.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Needlescopic surgery, a refinement of laparoscopic surgery, utilizes instruments <3 mm for minimal scarring.
  • Initial needlescopic cholecystectomy reports focused on uninflamed gallbladders using an antegrade approach.

Observation:

  • This case report details a needlescopic cholecystectomy performed via a retrograde approach.
  • The procedure was applied to a patient with an inflamed gallbladder.

Findings:

  • Successful execution of retrograde needlescopic cholecystectomy in an inflamed gallbladder.
  • Demonstrates the feasibility of the retrograde approach in challenging cases.

Implications:

  • Expands the potential applications of needlescopic surgery to include inflamed gallbladders.
