Mukul Singh, Abhijeet Saini

Abstract :

Introduction: Preoperative Difficulty estimation helps deciding whether to proceed with a minimally invasive approach, perform an open procedure or make a referral to a more experienced surgeon. Aim: To determine the ultrasonographic predictive factors for difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Material and Methods: A total of 100 patients were enrolled to this study.clinical examination and ultrasound study was preformed for all patients. Conclusion: Preoperative prediction of risk factors of difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy on ultrasonogram is an important point for operative planning and the high risk patients may be informed accordingly
