Towards Scarless Surgery: A Novel Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy by Using 2-mm Needle-Shape Instruments Without Trocar

Abstract

The new scar-hidden laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a safe and feasible technique. Compared with single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy, it has a lower operation time and less difficulty but a higher satisfaction score. It demonstrates a new approach for minimal invasive surgery.
