Read the detailed description

Infra-umbilical wound have been used for a while with aim at improving cosmoses of the incision. Formerly, standard incision for laparoscopic cholecystectomy was infra-umbilical wound. However, no study directly compare these types of incisions in term of postoperative pain, wound infection, and patient satisfaction.

Being tested
transumbilical incision, Infra umbilical incision
Medical subject headings
Pain, Postoperative, Gallstones
