Abstract

 

Since the introduction of laparoscopic surgery for gallbladder stones, different types of retrieval devices have been used to extract the gallbladder from the peritoneal cavity. These ranged from simple nonpowdered gloves to several types of commercially produced bags. We compared the advantages and disadvantages of using a retrieval bag (using simple drain cover) with direct extraction of gall bladder
specimen through the epigastric port in 600 patients. We concluded that using a retrieval bag (simple drain cover) for specimen retrieval in laproscopic cholecystectomy is a simple and cheap method with advantages of low rates of spillage andwound infection in comparison to direct retrieval of the specimen.
Keywords: Lap cholecystectomy; Retrieval bag; Wound infection.
