Dr. Suresh Naik, Dr. Pankaj Kshirsagar, Dr. Ajay Naik

Abstract :

Cholecystectomy is one of the commonest laparoscopic surgical procedures performed by the general surgeon . Laparoscopic cholecystectomy avoids a large incision and is cited to have decreased morbidity and disability as well as a more favourable cosmetic result when compared with standard open cholecystectomy. With these advantages it is applied to majority of the cases with minimal complications and has replaced open cholecystectomy in operative management of symptomatic gall stone disease. The study was done to compare the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic cholecystectomy for symptomatic cholelithiasis and to identify the rate of conversion of laparoscopic cholecystectomy to open cholecystectomy and to evaluate its causes in a rural medical college from 2007 to 2012. In this period over 500 cases of laparoscopic cholecystectomies were done.
