The aim of this study will be to assess the incisional hernia rate of umbilical or paraumbilical port 12 months after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patients will be randomized into 2 groups: * G1: 12mm Umbilical port will be inserted in the umbilical region, with open access and using a Hasson port * G2: 12 mm paraumbilical port will be inserted laterally to the midline, with close access and using and optical port. Incisional hernia at the level of this port insertion will be assessed by physical examination and, in case of doubst, by ultrasonography, 12 months after surgery.

Patients will be randomized into 2 groups: * G1: 12mm Umbilical port will be inserted in the umbilical region, with open access and using a Hasson port. Pneumoperitoneum will be done by this Hasson port. * G2: 12 mm paraumbilical port will be inserted laterally to the midline, with close access and using and optical port, traversing the rectus abdominal muscle. Pneumoperitoneum will be previously done using a Veress needle. Incisional hernia at the level of this port insertion will be assessed by physical examination and, in case of doubst, by ultrasonography, 12 months after surgery.

RECRUITINGIncisional hernia at the level of the trocar insertion
The incisional hernia at the level of the umbilical or paraumbilial trocar insertion will be assessed by physical examination, or with ultrasonography in case of doubts.
Time frame: 12 months after surgery
