Results of the first 100 single port laparoscopic cholecystectomies in a secondary care hospital.

Introduction: Despite the excellent results obtained with standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the efforts for minimizing the ports needed to reduce postoperative pain, for a quicker recovery and to improve the patient's cosmetics continue. The aim of this study is to report the results of the first 100 cases of single port laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed in a secondary care hospital.

Material And Methods: Prospective, observational and unicentric study including 100 patients between January 2010 and April 2012.
