NCT04787458

Brief Summary

There have been reports that abdominal binder use after laparoscopic or open surgery affects postoperative respiratory function, walking performance, and pain but no study has evaluated binder use solely for laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery. Therefore, the investigators performed a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of abdominal binders after laparoscopic cholecystectomy by comparing postoperative outcomes in two patient groups.

Study Arms (2)

Experimental group

EXPERIMENTAL

In subjects allocated to the abdominal binder group, the abdomen binder with a standard height of 22 cm (Sejung Korea, Seoul, Republic of Korea) was applied before leaving the operating room. Subjects were carefully instructed to use the abdominal binder during at least the first 2 consecutive days and night, and to reposition the abdominal binder correctly when needed.

Device: abdomen binder (Sejung Korea, Seoul, Republic of Korea)

Control group

NO INTERVENTION

subjects allocated in the control group, subjects were not given any opportunity to ware an abdominal binder.
