5 mm versus 10 mm umbilical port during laparoscopic cholecystectomy: do outcomes justify broader use in obese patients? A randomized controlled trial

2025Open accessAlexandria University

Abstract

Mini-laparoscopic cholecystectomy using 5 mm umbilical port and 5 mm telescope is safe and feasible among obese patients with uncomplicated gallstone disease. It offers shorter operative time, less postoperative pain and analgesic requirement, earlier return to normal daily activities, lower incidence of port-site hernia, and higher degree of patient satisfaction.
