that postoperative pain in SPLC is not significantly less than in the
MPLC group. The data are shown in Table 3.
Postoperative of LoS: The mean duration of LoS in Group A was 24
hours whereas in Group B it was 25.20 hours (Table 4); p was 0.330
which is insignificant.

Postoperative wound infection: In the SPLC group, we observed
wound infection in two patients (5%) whereas in the MPLC group
wound infection occurred in eight patients (p = 0.151). In the Port-site incisional hernia: In the SPLC group, port-site incisional
SPLC group, the wound infection was mild and managed by oral hernia developed in two patients whereas in the MPLC group no
antibiotics whereas in the MPLC group wound infection was at the patient developed port-site incisional hernia within the six-month
site of the epigastric port (Fig. 5). In the eight patients, port-site follow-up period (p = 0.147). Two patients had port-site incisional
wound infections were observed because the gallbladder had hernia within the first six months postoperatively (Table 5), so
been perforated during specimen extraction and it was resolved patients should be informed to avoid heavy exertion and exercises
with oral antibiotics. during the first three months postoperatively.
