Abstract :

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold standard in the management of symptomatic gallbladder stones. In the quest for making minimal access surgery more patient friendly in terms of fewer complications and better cosmesis, single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SPLC) has emerged as a novel technique. This prospective study was conducted at a tertiary hospital over a period of two years who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy by single port or multi-port technique and were assessed postoperatively to evaluate efficacy & effectiveness of SPLC in comparison with multi-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy (MPLC). The parameters assessed are intra-operative findings, complications, rate of conversion of single port surgery to either multi-port or open surgery and duration of the surgery.
