Protocol summary

Summary
The aim of this study is the comparison between mini-laparoscopic cholecystectomy (MLC) and single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC). This study is a randomized clinical trial conducted on the patients admitted to Shariati Hospital of Tehran that diagnosed with chronic cholecystitis, symptomatic cholelithiasis, with indications for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The exclusion criteria included: ages more than 60, having CBD stone, obesity (BMI equal or more than 40), acute cholelithiasis, and previous surgeries in the upper abdominal areas. 40 patients with symptomatic cholelithiasis who met the criteria will be enrolled in the study. After obtaining informed consent, they will be randomly assigned to SILC or MLC (20 in each group). The duration of the surgery and the events occurring during the surgery will be registered. Also, the two groups will be compared in terms of levels of pain (with visual analog scale: VAS), hospitalization period, the postsurgical complications including wound infection, and postoperative nausea and vomiting.
