Comparative assessment of short-term outcomes of cholecystectomy in minimally-invasive surgical procedures for chronic calculous cholecystitis

摘要

A randomized blind trial was carried out for comparative evaluation of short-term results of surgical treatment of chronic calculous cholecystitis in 100 patients after laparoscopic cholecystectomy and in 100 patients after minimally-invasive cholecystectomy. Both groups contained geterogenous patients (morphology in gall bladder zone, concomitant diseases). Statistically significant (p=0.000001) decrease of hospital stay was revealed after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. It is necessary to keep exact selection criteria for each type of elective surgery in cholelithiasis.
