The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility and outcomes of performing laparoscopic cholecystectomy using 5 mm umbilical port and telescope in obese patients who are at higher risk for developing port-site complications while factoring in surgeon\u2019s satisfaction.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>240 obese patients with chronic calcular cholecystitis were randomly allocated to two groups, standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SLC) group using 10 mm umbilical port, and MLC group using 5 mm one.

None of the patients in the MLC group experienced port-site hernia compared to 6 patients in the SLC group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.03). MLC group had shorter total operative time (46 vs 52 min, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.005), less pain during the first 24 h postoperative (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), and fewer in-hospital analgesic requirements (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Duration of postoperative analgesia at home was shorter in MLC group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) with earlier return of patients to normal daily activities compared to SLC group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Patient satisfaction and cosmesis were significantly higher among the MLC group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), however, surgeon satisfaction was inferior with the use of 5 mm telescopes compared to 10 mm ones (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.06).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Mini-laparoscopic cholecystectomy using 5 mm umbilical port and 5 mm telescope is safe and feasible among obese patients with uncomplicated gallstone disease.
