Features of performing single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy

The advantages of endoscopic surgery are well known, which has been confirmed by domestic and world experience in the use of minimally invasive technologies. Along with this, the widespread introduction of operative laparoscopy has led to complications specific to this technology. When performing laparoscopic operations, 3 to 6 trocars are inserted into the abdominal cavity. A large number of undesirable consequences of the introduction of trocars into the abdominal cavity, the so-called trocar complications (iatrogenic damage to internal organs, blood vessels, extraperitoneal insufflation, development of trocar hernias with deterioration of the aesthetic result, increased postoperative pain, increased risk of complications associated with the occurrence of hematomas, wound infections), served as the basis for the search for less invasive techniques. The rapid development of endoscopic surgery has contributed to the emergence of a wide range of surgical methods that do not leave gross scar changes on the skin of the anterior abdominal wall. These include single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy, which reduces trauma to the anterior abdominal wall and improves cosmetic results. The clinical significance of the single laparoscopic approach (SLA) technique in the surgical treatment of patients with chronic calculous cholecystitis should be substantiated. The study included 116 patients hospitalized for planned surgical treatment with a diagnosis of gallstone disease. Chronic calculous cholecystitis” from 2019 to 2023 on the basis of the National Chemical Center named after M.M. Mamakeev of the Ministry of Health of the Kyrgyz Republic, Bishkek. The use of a single laparoscopic access technique for removing the gallbladder with proper selection of patients and strict adherence to methodological and technical principles makes it possible to achieve better results in the treatment of patients with cholelithiasis with access along the upper edge around the navel than with a longitudinal transubial approach.
