METHOD FOR DETERMINING ACCESS LENGTH FOR REMOVAL OF GALLBLADDER FOR LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY IN ACUTE CHOLECYSTITIS

摘要

A method for determining the length of the access for removal of a gallbladder for laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the acute cholecystitis provides for assessing the minimal length of a wound, sufficient for removal of a gallbladder from abdominal cavity. For preoperative prediction of the optimal length of access, the greatest diameter of a gallbladder and the thickness of its wall are measured sonographically. Based on such measurements, the length of the access l, is calculated.
