Abstract:
Although Laparoscopic cholecystectomy
(LC) is considered to be the "gold standard"
for gall stone disease, minilap cholecystectomy
(MLC) using a smail incision 2-5 cms in length has
gained popularity as an alternative technique.
This paper describes a new technique for this
operation and compares outcome parameters for a
matched group of patients undergoing LC or MLC.
