ArtiSential^® laparoscopic cholecystectomy versus singlefulcrum laparoscopic cholecystectomy: Which minimally invasive surgery is better?

ABSTRACT:

Backgrounds/aims

In recent years, many minimally invasive techniques have been introduced to reduce the number of ports in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), offering benefits such as reduced postoperative pain and improved cosmetic outcomes. ArtiSential^® is a new multi-degree-of-freedom articulating laparoscopic instrument that incorporates the ergonomic features of robotic surgery, potentially overcoming the spatial limitations of laparoscopic surgery. ArtiSential^® LC can be performed using only two ports. This study aims to compare the surgical outcomes of ArtiSential^® LC with those of single-fulcrum LC.

Methods

This retrospective study compared ArtiSential^® LC and single-fulcrum LC among LCs performed for gallbladder (GB) stone
