Objective  To investigate the clinical effect of transumbilical single-port versus three-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy for cholecystolithiasis patients.

  Methods  A total of 60 patients who underwent cholecystectomy in our hospital were randomly divided into control group and research group. The control group was given traditional laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and the research group was given transumbilical single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The therapeutic effects of the two groups were compared and analyzed.

  Results  After different surgical treatments, the study group has significantly better results in intraoperative bleeding volume, postoperative hospital stay and recovery time of gastrointestinal function than the control group, and longer operation time than that of the control group (P < 0.05); the analgesic rates of the two groups showed significant differences between the two groups (P < 0.05). The scores of incision aesthetics and pain in the study group was significantly better than that in the control group (P < 0.05).

  Conclusion  Compared with three-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy, transumbilical single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy for cholecystolithiasis patients has higher operational safety and satisfaction, and can relieve postoperative pain.
