[Does the "Bergetrokar" decrease the rate of intraoperative complications in laparoscopic cholecystectomy?].
Several international surveys have proved the laparoscopic cholecystectomy as a safe surgical technique. In spite of the good results there still exist operation-specific technical problems. The perforation of the gallbladder during dissection or while extracting it from the abdominal cavity can lead to severe complications. We analysed retrospectively 352 extractions of the gallbladder carried out with our 'Bergetrokar'. In 1.4% occurred perforation of the gallbladder and in 0.85% we had trouble with the healing. In 3.5% extraction could not be performed with the 'Bergetrokar'. Regarding these results our rates have been lower as compared in literature. In our opinion the extraction of the gallbladder through the lateral incision using the Bergetrokar represents a further step toward a safe extraction of the stonefilled gallbladder. Further the infection rate at the umbilical incision is reduced.
