[ Value of absorbable clips in laparoscopic cholecystectomy . A randomized prospective study ] . Most surgeons use metal clips in laparoscopic cholecystectomy . The aim of this prospective randomized controlled study was to evaluate the efficacy of absorbable clips in elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy . One hundred consecutive patients with symptomatic gallstones without complications were randomized into groups ; group T had two metal clips ( titan clip ETHICONR ) , group R ( laproclipR Davis and Geck ) had one absorbable clip applied on the cystic duct and cystic artery . The patients were followed for one year . There was no difference between the two groups concerning operative time , hospital stay and postoperative complications . The absorbable clips seem to be as effective as metal clips in providing hemostasis in cystic artery and in cystic duct ligation .
