“…[3] Special considerations were required in younger children because of the discrepancy between the length of the instruments and the size of the peritoneal cavity.

ABSTRACT ABSTRACT ABSTRACTThe present study is undertaken to establish the usefulness of laparoscopic cholecystectomy and to know its merits and demerits as compared to open cholecystectomy in children. In all, 28 patients who underwent cholecystectomy (8 open and 20 laparoscopic cholecystectomy) in B.Y.L. Nair hospital between July 1999 and March 2004 were analyzed. Calculous cholecystitis was found to be the most common indication for surgery. Operative time for laparoscopic cholecystectomy was more than that in open cholecystectomy in the early phase of laparoscopy, which got reduced as we gained experience. The requirement of parenteral antibiotics and analgesics and the duration of stay were significantly shorter with laparoscopy. The advantages for a child in laparoscopic cholecystectomy as compared to open cholecystectomy are minimal pain, avoidance of an upper abdominal incision, cosmesis and shorter duration of hospitalization with quick return to home and school. Thus, laparoscopic cholecystectomy is safe and efficacious in children.

“…İlk laparoskopik kolesistektomi 1985 yılında Dr. Erich Mühe (1,2) tarafından erişkinde uygulandıktan kısa süre sonra ilk çocuk deneyimleri bildirilmiştir (3)(4)(5)(6) . Açık kolesistektomi (7) ile karşılaştırıldığında, hastanede kalış süresinin kısalığı, daha iyi estetik sonuçlar, ameliyat sonrası daha az ağrı ve ileus nedeniyle kısa sürede yaygınlaşmış ve kolesistektomilerin önemli bir bölümünde altın standart haline gelmiştir (8,9) .…”
