About

Single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy is gaining widespread acceptance. there are some obstacles making this procedure more complex than conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The use of harmonic scalpel may aid in solving some of these issues that may allow simplification of the technique. The investigators will compare the ordinary method of single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy versus harmonic scalpel single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
