1)faster recovery, 2)shorter hospital stays 3)decrease blood loss, 4)decreased postoperative pain 5)earlier return to work and resumption of normal daily activity as well as, 6)cosmetic benefits. few studies discuss the efficacy and safety of using Laparoscopy in management of lap cholecyctectomy and concomitant paraumbilical hernia repair
