Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudySingle-port versus multiport laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a prospective randomized clinical trial.
We report the outcomes of a randomized clinical trial of single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SPLC) and multiport laparoscopic cholecystectomy (MPLC). ⋯ Although SPLC takes longer than MPLC, experienced laparoscopic surgeons can perform SPLC safely with results comparable with those for MPLC. SPLC is superior to MPLC in terms of short-term cosmetic outcomes.
