Single-Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Versus Traditional Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A updated Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

2017 
1. Abstract   1.1. Objectives: To assess the clinical efficacy of Single-Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (LESS) compared with Traditional Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (TLC) based on published literature. 1.2. Subjects and Methods: An online systematic search Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) comparing LESS with TLC were included Pubmed, Embase and the Cochrane Library. The inclusion and extraction of the data were completed by two authors independently. Meta-analysis was performed using version Review Manager 5.1.4 software. The clinical outcomes measures were demographics, postoperative Visual Analog Scale pain score, operative complication rate, intraoperative blood loss, cosmetic score, postoperative hospital stay, operating time, wound length; operating time, quality of life score was evaluated by Odds Ratio (OR) and Standard Mean Difference (SMD) according to the different types of data. A meta-analysis of the outcomes was conducted. 1.3. Results: Fifteen RCTs involving 1069 patients met the predefined inclusion criteria. The cosmetic score of the LESS group was statistically higher than that for TLC. (SMD, 0.55; 95 % CI, 0.20, 0.90; p = 0.002); the postoperative hospital stay of the LESS group was statistically shorter than that for TLC. (SMD, -0.24; 95 % CI, -0.44, -0.04; p = 0.02); the operating time of LESS groups was statistically longer than TLC. (SMD, 0.83; 95 % CI, 0.52, 1.14; p < 0.00001); the wound length of LESS was statistically smaller than TLC. (SMD, -2.90; 95 % CI, - 4.22, -1.58; p < 0.0001); the quality of life of LESS was statistically better than that for TLC. (SMD, 1.17; 95 % CI, 0.06, 2.28; p =0.04); There was no significant difference between the two groups with Visual Analog Scale pain score, intraoperative blood loss, perioperative complication rate. 1.4. Conclusion: LESS is associated with a higher cosmetic score, shorter postoperative hospital stays, smaller wound length, better short-term quality of life compared with TLC. 2.
