Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyA prospective, randomized multicenter study comparing conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy versus minilaparotomy cholecystectomy with ultrasonic dissection as day surgery procedure--1-year outcome.
The long-term outcome between laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and minilaparotomy cholecystectomy (MC) with ultrasonic dissection (UsD) technique has not been compared in randomized trials. Therefore, we investigated the outcome after conventional LC and MC with UsD in 78 patients (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT0172340). ⋯ Day-case MC and LC patients have a quite similar one-year outcome with no significant difference regarding residual abdominal symptoms, cosmetic satisfaction, QoL or CPSP.
