Scarless Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Combined With Lipoabdominoplasty

As the aesthetic expectations of our society are rising, the patients are increasingly inquiring about ways to reduce the postoperative scars and avoid multiple operations. Herein, we present a case of cholecystectomy combined with lipoabdominoplasty whereby gallstone disease, abdominal wall laxity and skin excess were concurrently addressed, thereby eliminating the need for trocar-incisions on the abdominal skin. We can conclude that lipoabdominoplasty with laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a safe combined procedure that can be performed selectively in patients with cholecystolithiasis and body contour problems leading to improved cosmetic results without the presence of unnecessary scars.
