However, surgeons continue to debate the optimal port site for retrieving the gallbladder specimen from the abdominal cavity, as this choice can influence wound-related morbidity. Traditionally, the gallbladder is extracted through the infraumbilical port site. While effective, this route is associated with a potential risk of port-site infections due to bacterial colonization within the umbilicus and risk of contamination during specimen extraction. Retrieving the gallbladder through the subxiphoid port has been proposed as an alternative technique that may utilize a cleaner surgical site, potentially reducing patient pain scores and regional wound complications. This prospective randomized clinical trial aims to dir
