The interneural incision offers rapid execution and excellent surgical exposure. This approach leads to fewer patient complaints, reduced pain medication needs, and improved recovery after biliary tract operations.

Area of Science:

Abdominal Surgery
Surgical Incisions
Biliary Tract Operations

Background:

Traditional vertical and subcostal incisions are commonly used for biliary tract operations.
Assessing alternative incision techniques is crucial for optimizing patient outcomes and surgical efficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the efficacy and patient experience associated with the interneural incision for biliary tract surgery.
To compare the interneural incision with vertical and subcostal approaches regarding surgical exposure, postoperative recovery, and long-term results.

Main Methods:

The study assessed the interneural incision's execution speed and exposure quality in the right upper abdominal quadrant.
Postoperative outcomes, including patient complaints, narcotic use, mobility, and pulmonary function, were monitored.

Long-term follow-up evaluated scar appearance, incidence of neuroma or hernia, and sensory disturbances.

Main Results:

The interneural incision provides rapid execution and excellent exposure of the right upper abdomen.
Patients experienced fewer postoperative complaints, required less pain medication, and showed improved mobility and pulmonary function.
Long-term follow-up revealed cosmetically favorable scars, no neuroma or hernia formation, and no sensory deficits.

Conclusions:

The interneural incision is a superior surgical approach for biliary tract operations when anatomically appropriate.
This technique enhances surgical efficiency, improves patient recovery, and yields favorable long-term cosmetic and functional results compared to vertical or subcostal incisions.
