Results: we observed that mean operating time for LA is 48±8 and OA is 35±10, LA requires 1.1 shots less analgesics than OA, Oral feeding was resumed in 20 hours earlier following LA when compared to OA, Post operative stay 2.1 days shorter in LA than OA, In female patients we noticed other pathologies like ovarian cysts and peritoneal pathology, diagnosis done and managed laparoscopically in same sitting.
