Laparoscopic cholecystectomy

  Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) Laparoscopic surgery is a new technique and new method of minimally invasive surgery that has developed along with the rapid advancement of modern industrial and manufacturing technology and the integration with related disciplines, and is an inevitable trend in the future development of surgery. With the increasingly skillful operation of laparoscopic surgeons, many diseases that could only be treated with open surgery in the past have now been replaced by laparoscopic surgery, greatly increasing the chances of surgical options.  Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has gradually become the standard of care for the treatment of benign gallbladder diseases and is the preferred method of surgical treatment for benign gallbladder diseases because of its minimal surgical trauma, mild pain, low intraoperative bleeding, postoperative, rapid recovery and its short hospital stay.  In 1987, Dr. Philippe Mouret from Lyon, France, performed the first televised laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the world, ushering in a new era of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and in 1991, Professor Xun Zuwu from Yuxi, Yunnan Province, China, reported televised laparoscopic cholecystectomy for the first time in mainland China, opening a new chapter of laparoscopic surgery in mainland China.  Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), with its characteristics of less surgical trauma, less pain, less intraoperative bleeding, faster postoperative recovery and shorter hospital stay, has gradually become the: “gold standard” for the treatment of benign gallbladder diseases, and is the preferred method for surgical treatment of benign gallbladder diseases.
