Abstrakt:	Objective: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is typically carried out using four ports. The objective of this study was to describe the percutaneous gallbladder traction technique, which allows the number of ports to be reduced, thus optimizing the procedure, with a similar exposure of the surgical site. Materials and Methods: 2 pediatric patients with symptomatic cholelithiasis underwent laparoscopic surgery from January 2021 to January 2024. Cholecystectomy was performed using an umbilical port (5 mm, 30-degree scope) and two accessory ports. A laparoscopic loop with a running knot was used to conduct percutaneous gallbladder traction at the right intercostal level. Results: All surgeries were successfully completed. Mean operating time was 90 minutes. Hospital stay was 1-2 days. Postoperative progression was favorable in all patients. Conclusions: These results confirm that cholecystectomy with percutaneous gallbladder traction is safe, cost-effective, and easily reproducible, which means it can be an alternative to the classic technique.
