ABSTRACT
A prospective study was conducted to determine the safety and efficacy of cholecystectomy through a 5 cm transverse abdominal incision. 181 consecutive patients who underwent elective cholecystectomy for symptomatic gall stone disease in a single surgical unit at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi between December 1990 to February 1992, were prospectively randomized into 5 cm transverse and midline incision groups. Operative time, blood loss, post-operative stay and complications were compared in the two groups. Ninety seven patients were included in the transverse incision group and 84 patients in the midline group. Cholecystectomy could be safely performed through a 5 cm transverse incision in 84 patients (86.8%) without increase in operative complications, morbidity or mortality. In another 84 patients cholecystectomy was performed through a midline incision. The average operating time and blood loss were comparable in both groups. The average post-operative stay in 5 cm transverse incision group was 2.6 days (range 1-4 days) and in the midline group was 4.0 days (range 3-5 days). There were 7 post-operative complications (all wound infections) in the 5 cm transverse group and 12 post-operative complications (10 wound infections and 2 pneumonitis) in the midline group. However, the difference in wound infection rate was not statistically significant (p > 0.1). In Conclusion, Cholecystectomy can be safely performed through a 5 cm transverse incision.
