Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Cholelithiasis
Interventions
Procedure: Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
Registration Number
NCT00678873
Lead Sponsor
University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center
Brief Summary

The investigators aim to investigate the safety, feasibility and short-term outcomes of Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.

The investigators hypothesize that Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is safe and feasible.

Detailed Description

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the standard approach for the treatment of gallbladder disease. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is now performed as an outpatient procedure and it commonly requires the use of 4 separate small incisions. Single incision or single access trans-umbilical surgery may provide less pain, scarring and may improve patient's overall satisfaction.

In this phase I trial we aim to evaluate the safety, feasibility and short-term outcomes of Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy for the treatment of symptomatic cholelithiasis (gallstones).
