They were admitted to the general surgery department, Tanta University hospitals in the period from October 2020 to January 2022, divided into 2 groups each of 20 patients randomly selected, the 1st group underwent TPLC & the 2nd underwent CLC. - Our study showed differences in favor of the 1st TPLC group, with no major intraoperative complications, less postoperative pain, shorter hospital stay and better cosmetic satisfaction, while operative time was longer in the 1st cases.
