• Status: Terminated
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 87 (actual)

• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 80 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

This study will compare Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS) cholecystectomy to traditional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), focusing on patient-reported outcomes and cost.

Detailed description

Single-Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS) is accepted as a form of surgical treatment. Traditional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (TLC) is well tolerated, with a low complication risk and high patient satisfaction; thus a SILS procedure needs to be at least equivalent to be a justifiable replacement, and should not result in higher costs.

Conditions

• Biliary Dyskinesia
• Gallstones
• Cholecystitis
• Cholelithiasis
