ABSTRACT

Objective: Present modifications of traditional laparoscopic cholecystectomy, to improve aesthetical and functional results and to reduce costs. Setting: General surgery department of a private hospital. Design: Prospective, observational study. Patients and methods: This study includes 180 patients operated with laparoscopic cholecystectomy with only one subxiphoid visible port of 5 mm, from May 1997 until November 1998. Cancer and choledocholithiasis were excluded. We analyzed the following variables: age, gender, operating time, hospitalization time, failures or conversions, costs and aesthetical effects. Results: Female sex predominated with a relation of 8 to 1. The average age was 46 years. There were conversion in 6 cases (4%). The average of the operating time was 55 minutes. Average hospital stay was of 24 hours. There were minor complications just in two cases. Conclusions: We conclude that the technique of laparoscopic cholecystectomy with only one subxiphoid visible port of 5 mm is applicable in the 96% of the patients with gallbladder disease. Improve cosmetics and functional results and reduces costs too.
