NCT04347642

Brief Summary

The aim of this study will be to assess the incisional hernia rate of umbilical or paraumbilical port 12 months after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patients will be randomized into 2 groups:

  • G1: 12mm Umbilical port will be inserted in the umbilical region, with open access and using a Hasson port
  • G2: 12 mm paraumbilical port will be inserted laterally to the midline, with close access and using and optical port. Incisional hernia at the level of this port insertion will be assessed by physical examination and, in case of doubst, by ultrasonography, 12 months after surgery.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Incisional hernia at the level of the trocar insertion

    The incisional hernia at the level of the umbilical or paraumbilial trocar insertion will be assessed by physical examination, or with ultrasonography in case of doubts.

    12 months after surgery

Study Arms (2)

Umbilical port

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

A Hasson port will be inserted at the level of the umbilicus,in the midline, traversing only aponeurotic layers.

Procedure: Umbilical port placement

Paraumbilical port

EXPERIMENTAL

A bladeless 12mm port will be inserted lateral to the midline, traversing aponeurotic layers and rectus abdominis muscle.

Procedure: Paraumbilical port placement

Interventions

The port will be inserted in the midline at the level of the umbilicus.

Umbilical port

The port will be inserted 3-4cm laterally to the midline at the level of the umbilicus.

Paraumbilical port
