About this study

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is gold standard for gallstones. But there is no consensus about which port place is optimal for the removing of the cholecystectomy material from the abdomen. There are different port site infections rates in the literature. The minimal tissue damage of laparoscopic cholecystectomy suggests a lower risk of wound infection, but there are series with an infection range of 8 %. The investigators are investigating is there any difference at the port site infection rates when the cholecystectomy material removed from different ports from the abdomen at the laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Treatment and study plan

Removing from Epigastric port

Procedure

The cholecystectomy material will be removed from epigastric port. This will be experimental group. Port site infection rates will be measured

Primary outcomes

Port site infections

Time frame: 2 days

The cholecystectomy material will be removed from umbilical port at the control group, from the epigastric port at the experimental group. The port site infection rates will be noted.
