Article Abstract
Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the standard treatment for gallbladder diseases. In recent times, single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy(SILC) has developed as a less invasive alternative technique to conventional laparoscopy. In the literature, many studies have compared SILC and conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (CLC) procedures but a limited number of studies have compared the two techniques with regard to quality of life (QOL). The choice of surgical procedure was effected by QOL of the patients. The effects of SILC on QOL remain unclear. In this study, we aimed to compare the effects of conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (CLC) and single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) procedures on the clinical outcomes and quality of life of patients by short-term follow-up evaluation.
Material And Methods: In this study, 142 patients who underwent cholecystectomy operations with either technique underwent SILC and CLC were evaluated. The quality of life index in the patients was measured with short form 36 (SF 36) test.
Results: The results of mean operative time, length of stay and complication rate for SILC and CLC were similar. The postoperative health-related quality of life (HRQOL) scores were not significantly different between the SILC and CLC patients but only physical functioning score were higher in SILC patients.
Conclusions: SILC is a safe and effective alternative to CLC. To detect the effects of SILC on HRQOL, we need long-term prospective comparative studies.

Purpose: To identify independent risk factors for bile leakage and incisional infection after choledocholithotomy and to explore the potential association between bile leakage and incisional infection.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 621 patients who underwent laparoscopic or open choledocholithotomy combined with cholecystectomy between January 2017 and October 2024. Clinical data were collected, and univariate analysis followed by binary logistic regression was used to identify independent risk factors for postoperative bile leakage and incisional infection.

This study aimed to identify the biomarkers that was associated with the postoperative incisional pain in patients with acute cholecystitis undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery (ACC-LC). Sixty ACC-LC patients were enrolled and divided into mild pain (MP) and moderate-to-severe pain (MSP) groups based on their visual analog scale (VAS) scores 24 hours postoperatively. RNA sequencing was used to screen the potential pain associated markers, and ELISA were used to analyze the expression of one identified marker, CXCR5 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).

We describe a case of a 64-year-old obese woman with a history of severe acute cholecystitis and choledocholithias who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy in our clinic after endoscopic treatment by sphincterotomy and stent insertion. On the first operative day, a significant bile leakage of 400 ml appeared in the drainage. An immediate surgical revision was performed, starting by laparoscopy with conversion to open surgery.

Introduction: Bile duct injury (BDI) is a potentially devastating complication of cholecystectomy. Although the repair may be successful, patients often experience a decline in their quality of life (QoL). However, there is a paucity of data regarding the factors influencing long-term outcomes and QOL in these patients.

Background: In recent years, global cholecyst-related disorders have been increasing daily. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is an advanced gallbladder surgical technique. However, pneumoperitoneum and various factors leading to abdominal distension and other gastrointestinal dysfunctions are common postoperative complications.
