Transumbilical Versus Infraumbilical Pneumoperitoneum in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

The case study is planned to emanate a comparison between transumbilical pneumoperitoneum and infraumbilical in patients that undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy. It concentrates on the port access time, events during intraoperative access, postoperative change of events, pain, hospitalization, and cosmetic satisfaction. Through evaluation of both technical and patient centred outcomes, this study can help elucidate on whether transumbilical approach possesses practical benefits compared with its alternative, the conventional method of infraumbilical, without adding risk to the operations. These findings can justify other safer, more efficient and aesthetically correct primary port placement in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
