Summary

This study tested a new way to remove a stubborn gallbladder during keyhole surgery. When the gallbladder is too large or thick to pull out easily, surgeons often make a bigger cut, which can cause bleeding and pain. The new method uses three tiny star-shaped cuts around the opening to help remove the gallbladder more smoothly. The study involved 156 adults and compared the new technique with two standard methods, looking at bleeding, pain, and recovery over 12 months.
