Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative StudyMinilaparotomy cholecystectomy with ultrasonic dissection versus conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a randomized multicenter study.
Cholecystectomy by minilaparotomy (MC) or by laparoscopy (LC) has been shown to have equal results of both early and late recovery. Although, the ultrasonic dissection (UsD) technique has seen used in LC, the technique is rarely used in MC. ⋯ The patients in the MC group had less early postoperative pain and had a shorter convalescence than the patients in the LC group.
