Abstract:
Objective To evaluate techniques and indications of 2cm～3cm mini cholecystectomy. Methods After a 2cm～3cm incision was made below the right costal margin, cholecystectomy was carried out under direct vision in 465 cases. Results Mini operation was successfully completed in 435 patients (93.5%), while incision lengthening was required in 30 patients. One patient with postoperative bile leakage was cured after 3 weeks of drainage. There were no biliary duct injuries, postoperative bleeding, or deaths in the study. Conclusions Mini cholecystectomy with a 2cm～3cm incision is safe and effective provided patients are properly selected.
