J Surg Pak Jan ;14(4):179-81.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the procedure of choice in all the gall bladder diseases and there is increase in the expertise of the surgeons with newer equipment. Usually the laparoscopic cholecystectomy is performed by using three or four ports. Two ports laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a rarely performed procedure as it demands greater expertise and skills. Benefits of this technique are related to the cost this being cost effective with less scar forming as compared to the conventional approach of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We present a series of eight cases of laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed by using only two ports. All procedures were completed successfully and no extra port or conversion to open procedure was required. Mean operation time was 50 minutes. No intra and post operative complication occurred in this series. Hospital stay was one day.
