Abstract
Background: With the advancement of laparoscopic surgery, new techniques have been proposed and disseminated in order to reduce the surgical aggression and get better cosmetic results. Aim: To present alternative technique for videocholecystectomy comparable to single port technique using conventional material for laparoscopic surgery. Method: Introduction of laparoscopic devices using two incisions; gallbladder traction with thread, exposition of Calot triangle, and ligature of cystic pedicle with polymer clips. Results: Nine operations were carried out with this method, without complications and no increase in operative time, being compared to conventional videocholecistectomy, however vastly superior in aesthetic results. Conclusion: The technique is feasible, reproducible, showing benefits to patient´s safety.
