Abstract

BACKGROUND:
Cholecystectomy  is the defacto standard operation for cholelithiasis and there are continuous attempts to do it through a less invasive incision known as mini laparoscopic cholecystectomy (MLC).
OBJECTIVE:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of MLC in our center. 
PATIENTS AND METHODS:
This is a pilot study involving 6 selected patients for whom MLC was performed at Al-Jamhory teaching hospital after acquiring the ethical committee permission and patients’ informed consent.
RESULTS:
The study includes six patients, their average age is 27 years and their average BMI is 28kgm2. The average operative time is 53 minutes without intra-operative complications. The post-operative pain is mild and the hospital stay is about 12 hours. All patients were satisfied with the cosmetic results.
CONCLUSION:
This study shows that MLC a safe and feasible procedure; it takes more time than LC but has mild post-operative pain and excellent cosmetic results. It can also be done as a day case surgery.
