Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
Introduction: Open cholecystectomy was the treatment of choice for symptomatic gallstone disease till the early 90’s. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy slowly replaced it owing to the advantages like shorter hospital stay, less postoperative pain and smaller scars. Although comparison of the two techniques is inappropriate owing to wide variation in the technique, this study is aimed at comparing the complications with the two techniques in our center. Objectives: To study the complications with laparoscopic cholecystectomy. To study the complications with open cholecystectomy. To compare the complications with both the techniques. Results: A total of 121 patients underwent cholecystectomy during the study period of which 99 patients underwent laparoscopic surgery while 22 patients underwent open procedure. Out of the 99 patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery, 42 were male and 57 were female and out of the 22 patients who underwent open surgery, 6 were male and 16 were female. Conclusion: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has higher intraoperative complications compared to open cholecystectomy while the overall complication rate and postoperative morbidity being less compared to open cholecystectomy
