Evaluation of Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy and Concomitant Paraumbilical Hernia Repair

Umbilical hernia frequently accompanies cholelithiasis. It is possible to repair these hernias after completing cholecystectomy.

Laparoscopy is a type of surgical procedure that allows a surgeon to access the inside of the abdomen and pelvis without having to make large incisions in the skin.

The use of laparoscopy in abdominal surgeries increases for its great benefits over open surgery as:

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
