title: [Cholecystectomy from mini-approach with the elements of open laparoscopic technique in surgical treatment of cholelithiasis].
abstract: The experience and the technique of cholecystectomy from mini-approach with elements of open laparascopic technique (MSE) in 102 patients with choledocholithiasis and calculous cholecystitis is descubed. In 99 cases the operation was carried out for chronic calculous cholecystitis, in 3 cases--for acute calculous cholecystitis. The patients were aged from 23 to 76 years (mean age 59.3 +/- 3.4 years). The average length of the incision in performing MSE made up 4.1 +/- 0.3 cm. Mean duration of the operation 42.4 +/- 5.3 min. In 5 cases (4.9%) intraoperative cholangiography was performed. The possibility to avoid the use of narcotic analgetics in postoperative period in patients who underwent MSE is demonstrated. Postoperative period made up 3.8 days. Social and cost-effect aspects of different modes of surgical treatment of patients with cholelithiasis are considered. The study of quality of life index makes it possible to come to conclusion about quicker return of the patients who underwent MSE to their habitual social and intellectual activities, practically complete absence of the influence of negative factors of conventional treatment (pains, dyspepsial, cosmetic defects) higher appreciation of their health conditions, well being, which manifests in higher quality of life in operated patients.
