What are the advantages of laparoscopic cholecystectomy?

The advantages of laparoscopic cholecystectomy mainly include: 1. Shorter operation time: due to the small incisions, the procedure generally takes less time. 2. Minimal trauma: as a minimally invasive surgery, it leaves only three small abdominal scars of about 1.5 cm each, greatly preserving abdominal wall muscle function and maintaining the integrity of abdominal tissues. 3. Rapid recovery: patients recover quickly after surgery; most can get out of bed independently within 3–5 days and are discharged within 5–7 days. 4. Fewer complications: the reduced surgical trauma results in a lower risk of postoperative complications. 5. Mild postoperative pain: pain is minimal and usually within tolerable limits.
