Comparative study of laparoscopic cholecystectomy and traditional open cholecystectomy

Objective To probe clinical efficacy and safety of laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC) and traditional open cholecystectomy(OC). Methods 104 patients with benign gallbladder disease were divided LC group(74 cases) and OC group(70 cases). The operative and postoperative complications of two groups were observed and compared. Results There were significant difference in operation time,volume of blood loss during operation,length ofincision,gastrointestinalfunction restoring time,postoperative use of analgesics and hospital stay between two groups. In LC group, infections ofincision in 1 patient;In OC group, infections ofincisional wound in 5 patients,and local hematoma ofincision in 2 patients. The rate of complications was lower in LC group than these in OC group. Conclusion LC has strong points of slight damage,postoperative quick recovery and less complications,and is optimal operation for benign gallbladder disease.
