Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: Complications and Conversions With the 3-Trocar Technique

Abstract

The study achieves to conclude that the 3-trocar technique can be safely performed, is not technically demanding, and yields in experienced hands a complication rate comparable with the conventional LC. Furthermore, it is less expensive and has a better cosmetic result.

A Comprehensive Review of Single-Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS) and Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) Techniques for Cholecystectomy

“…We know that the incidence rate of major complications (common bile duct and major vessel injury) following three or four-trocar laparoscopic cholecystectomy is well documented at <1% with an overall complication rate of ≤3%. 40,41 Post-laparoscopic cholecystectomy pain and recovery time is also significantly lower when compared to the alternative open procedure. 2 Whether there is less postoperative pain associated with NOTES or SILS is so far a subjective conclusion and systematic objective assessments of post-procedural pain, as well as procedure-related complication rates, are lacking.…”

Single umbilical incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy: Initial experience of the Coelio Club

“…The overall complication rate of CLC is 3% and common bile duct injury occurs in less than 1% [14]: it is our responsibility to make sure that SUILC does not result in worse outcomes [9]. Our series of 65 patients is one of the largest published to date.…”

Transvaginal video-assisted cholecystectomy in clinical practice

“…The surgical technique reported here resembles the three-trocar technique for laparoscopic surgery [45][46][47]. Dissection is supported by the long bended grasper, which gives an additional degree of freedom through rotation of the axis of the grasper.…”
