Abstract: Objective The purpose of this study was to compare laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) by through posterior Calot’ s triangle approach (PCTA) or through anterior Calot’ s triangle approach (ACTA) in dealing with patients with cholecystolithiasis and chronic cholecystitis. Methods 197 patients with cholecystolithiasis and chronic cholecystitis were encountered in our hospital between June 2021 and June 2024, and all underwent LC surgery. For the operation, by through PCTA in 96 cases, and by through ACTA in 101 cases. Visual analogue scale (VAS) was evaluated for postoperative pain. Serum C-reactive protein level was detected by immunoturbidimetry, serum interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α were detected by ELISA, plasma superoxide dismutase (SOD) level was detected by ammonium phosphate method, plasma glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) level was detected by DTNB direct color development, and plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) level was assayed by thiobarbituric acid. Results Surgical time and postoperative exhaust time in PCTA group were(33.6±7.3)min and (22.3±5.6)h, both much shorter than [(39.1±7.1) minand (28.8±6.1)h, respectively, P<0.05], and operational bleeding was (36.9±11.4)mL, much less than [(49.5±12.9)mL, P<0.05] in ACTA group; by end of three days, VAS score in PCTA group was (2.5±0.4)points, much lower than [(3.1±0.5)points, P<0.05] in ACTA group; by 24 h, serum IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α and CRP levels in PCTA group were (12.1±2.0)ng/L, (17.3±2.7)ng/L, (19.5±2.7)ng/L and (18.3±1.6)mg/L, all significantly lower than [(15.2±1.4)ng/L, (22.7±3.1)ng/L, (23.6±3.5)ng/L and (29.1±1.1)mg/L, respectively, P<0.05] in ACTA group; serum SOD level was (121.0±18.4)U/ml, much higher than [(105.3±19.2)U/ml, P<0.05]in ACTA group. Conclusion For LC operation, by through PCTA could be relatively easy, which might cost less operational time and induce less body inflammatory and oxidative stress.
