Summary

There have been reports that abdominal binder use after laparoscopic or open surgery affects postoperative respiratory function, walking performance, and pain but no study has evaluated binder use solely for laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery. Therefore, the investigators performed a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of abdominal binders after laparoscopic cholecystectomy by comparing postoperative outcomes in two patient groups.

Detailed description

Abdominal binders help to prevent postoperative complications, however, their use is controversial because of a lack of evidence for their effectiveness and because they also confer disadvantages. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial was to compare the effects of abdominal binder after laparoscopic cholecystectomy on pain, degree of comfort, time until ambulation, walking ability, return of bowel function, and diet resumption.
