| Core Tip |
Port-site selection and preoperative umbilical preparation are crucial but insufficiently addressed determinants of laparoscopic cholecystectomy outcomes. In this prospective randomized study, transumbilical access combined with targeted umbilical care using chlorhexidine gluconate shortened operative time while improving postoperative cosmetic satisfaction and scar healing. This approach did not increase the rates of surgical site infection or incisional hernia compared with standard periumbilical access. These findings indicate that meticulous umbilical care enables safe transumbilical entry and offers a simple, low-cost strategy to enhance surgical efficiency and patient-centered outcomes in routine laparoscopic cholecystectomy. |
