title: Two-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy--a new technique.
abstract: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is now the procedure of choice in all the gall bladder diseases and there is increase in the skills of surgeons with newer equipment. Normally the laparoscopic cholecystectomy is performed by using four ports or three ports. Two ports laparoscopic cholecystectomy is rarely performed as it demands greater expertise and skills. Also this technique is less expensive and less scar formation than four port laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We present a case of a middle aged female who underwent successfully laparoscopic cholecystectomy by using only two ports.
