Improvement of Single-port Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

The desire of both surgeons and patients to reduce the trauma of the operation and shorten the length of hospital stay, on the one hand, and on the other hand, the development of new technologies and the emergence of special devices led to the development and implementation of video endoscopic minimally invasive methods of surgical intervention. The results of single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy and the possibility of choosing instrumental support when performing these operations should be analyzed. Our study included 116 patients hospitalized for planned surgical treatment with chronic calculous cholecystitis from 2019 to 2023. The patients were divided into two groups: the first main group consisted of 52 (44.8%) patients with chronic calculous cholecystitis who underwent single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SLP) using the single access technique (SAL). The second group (TLCE) consisted of 64 (55.2%) patients with CCC who underwent laparoscopic four-port cholecystectomy. A comparative analysis of the results of the intraoperative and early postoperative periods in patients after TLCE using the single access method, the number of complications was minimal than with TLCE using a four-port approach. Long-term results of surgical treatment of patients with cholelithiasis after OLCE using the single access method are characterized by the least complications, high cosmetic effect, and low morbidity.
