Abstract :

This is a prospective study done to see the safety, efficacy, cost–effectiveness and complications in both three versus four port laproscopic cholecystectomy. In this study 100 patients of cholelithiasis were taken and divided into two groups. Study was done from January 2015 to march 2016. Group A (50 patients) for three port technique and group B (50 patients) for standard four port technique. The outcomes were assessed based on duration of surgery, complication rates, postoperative pain, hospital stay and conversion rates. The mean operative time was compared and found to be less in group A. Intraoperative and postoperative complications was similar in both groups. The postoperative pain was less in group A. The mean hospital stay was less in group A (2 days) than group B (2.5 days).Better cosmetic results and patient satisfaction was observed in group A. The three port technique is a safe and feasible method in hands of an experienced laparoscopic surgeon. Thus it can be recommended as a safe alternative to conventional four ports laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
