About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Transumbilical Versus Standard Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy on Postoperative Pain

This is a trial to evaluate if single port laparoscopic cholecystectomy causes less pain than conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Read the detailed description

This study is a randomized, two-arm, double-blinded three-center trial to compare single-port transumbilical laparoscopic cholecystectomy with conventional 4-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy. 120 patients are included with a 1:1 randomization. Three centers participate in the trial.

Inclusion criteria: Female patients, ASA I-III, age between 18 and 75 years, elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy because of biliary pain or recent uncomplicated biliary pancreatitis.

Exclusion criteria: Expected poor compliance, history of cholecystitis or severe pancreatitis, previous open upper abdominal surgery, pregnancy or lactation, preoperative chronic pain or conversion from laparoscopic to open surgery.

Pain and nausea is measured on VAS before the operation and 3 hrs, 1 day, 2 days and 3 days after the operation.

Cosmesis is evaluated after 28 days.

Patients are telephone-interviewed after 12 months and asked about port hernia formation. If hernia is suspected patients are called in for an abdominal ultrasonography.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Conventional laparoscopic procedureProcedure or surgery

    Also called Versaport 12 mm, Versaport 5 mm

    Patients allocated to this group will undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy using two 12 mm ports and two 5 mm ports

  • Experimental laparoscopic procedureProcedure or surgery

    Also called SILS port

    Patients allocated to this group will undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy using only a transumbilical SILS port
