This prospective randomized study compared single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) and laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) with respect to estimated blood loss, operative time, postoperative pain levels, and complications. Thirty-four study patients were divided into 2 groups: 17 patients underwent SILC and 17 underwent LC. Operative time was longer for SILC than for LC, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in the relationship of body mass index with operative time between SILC and LC (P=0.613, P=0.983, respectively). The 2 groups had no statistically significant differences with respect to visual analog scale scores, estimated blood loss, shoulder pain, or complications (P>0.05). SILC can be the treatment of choice for gallbladder disease. Although the surgeon's first several attempts at SILC require a longer operative time compared with LC, there are no differences in hospital length of stay, blood loss, complication rates, or pain scores between SILC and LC.

Background Although laparoscopic surgery is becoming more common, its anesthetic management poses challenges due to hemodynamic fluctuations. Dexmedetomidine has shown promise in mitigating these responses. In this study, we compared the effects of three different infusion doses of dexmedetomidine (0.

Background: Near-infrared fluorescence imaging using intravenous indocyanine green (ICG) has a wide range of applications in multiple surgical scenarios. In laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), it facilitates intraoperative identification of the biliary system and reduces the risk of bile duct injury. However, the usual single color fluorescence imaging (SCFI) has limitations in manifesting the fluorescence signal of the target structure when its intensity is relatively low.

Background: Modified thoracoabdominal nerves block through perichondrial approach (M-TAPA) is a trunk block that has been gaining attention for managing postoperative pain following abdominal surgeries since its first report in 2019. We conducted a scoping review on M-TAPA, aiming to comprehensively evaluate existing research, identify the gaps in knowledge, and understand the implications of M-TAPA.
Methods: This scoping review was conducted using databases including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and CINAHL to evaluate the clinical efficacy of M-TAPA on April 19, 2024.
