Primary Outcome Measures:
  • QUALITY OF LIFE [ Time Frame: PREOPERATIVEELY, after 1 WEEK, 1 and 6 months postoperative ]
    Quality of life was the primary endpoint of this study assessed by EuroQoL EQ-5D 9 questionnaire preoperatively, 1 week, 1 and 6 months after surgery. The EQ-5D is a validated questionnaire which consists of 2 pages: the EQ-5D descriptive system and EQ visual analogue scale (EQ VAS). The WQ-5D-descriptive system consists of 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 3 levels: no problems, some problems, extreme problems.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • operative time [ Time Frame: 2 hours ]
    (defined as the interval between the initial skin incision and skin closure)

  • postoperative pain [ Time Frame: 5 days ]
    using verbal analogue scale (VAS) from 0 to 10 (0 = no pain, 10 = severe pain)

  • days to return to normal activity (RTNA) [ Time Frame: 10 days ]
    patients were contacted by phone every day until they are able to return to their normal daily works

  • COSMOSIS OUTCOMES [ Time Frame: 1 AND 6 MONTHS ]
    cosmetic outcomes 1 and 6 months after surgery using Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS)(10), it comprises two distinct series of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) instruments: one is self-assessed by the patient and one by an independent doctor, ranging from 1 (poor) to 10 (excellent)

  • ANALGESIC REQUIRMENT [ Time Frame: POSTOPERATIVE PERIOD ]
    NOMBERS OF ANALGESIC TABLETS AND NO. OF DAYS ANALGESIA NEEDED
Enrollment: 250
Study Start Date: November 2009

Detailed Description:
In a prospective study, two hundred fifty patients with symptomatic gall bladder stone were randomized to SALC or conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (CLC) (125 in each group). The primary endpoint of this study was to assess the total outcomes of quality of life using EuroQoL EQ-5D questionnaire. The secondary endpoints were postoperative pain, analgesia requirement and duration, operative time, perioperative complications, estimated blood loss, hospital stay, cosmoses outcomes and number of days required to return to normal activities.
