Abstract :

 Background: In recent time laparoscopic cholecystectomy has been established as the popular alternative to open cholecystectomy, but it should have a safety profile similar to or better than that of open procedure. The purpose of present study was to compare the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in comparison with open cholecystectomy. Methodology: The present study comprised of 80 patients who underwent open and laparoscopic cholecystectomy. All cases underwent detailed preoperative assessment, their preoperative findings and post–operative data was meticulously recorded as per protocol. Results: The age and sex distribution of the whole series corresponds fairly well with the usual age and sex affection of gallbladder disease. Overall there was a female preponderance and the peak age group of patients involved was of 3rd and 4th decade. Two cases were converted from laparoscopic to open cholecystectomy, as the anatomy of calot’s triangle was not delineated The mean operative time in laparoscopic group was 97.53 min compared to 70.08 min in open cholecystectomy group. Conclusion: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy reduces the number of antibiotic and analgesic requirement, hospital days, wound infection except for the prolonged operative time, which can be minimized in due course of time as the learning curve progresses.
