Abstract

A best evidence topic has been constructed using a described protocol. The three-part question addressed was: is single port laparoscopic cholecystectomy superior to standard cholecystectomy in post-operative pain? Using the reported search, 8083 papers were found. 8 studies were deemed to be suitable to answer the question. The outcomes assessed were post-operative pain differ in single or standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy, all study used VAS (visual analogue scale). The evidence showed no difference in post-operative pain for patients went for single laparoscopic in compared with standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Keywords: Advantage of single port laparoscopy; Minimal invasive; Post-operative pain; Postoperative pain; Single port cholecystectomy; Standard cholecystectomy.
