Abstract
Aim: The aim of the study was to analyze the outcome of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in a tertiary referral hospital. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study of all LC conducted over 1 year period from January 2015 to June 2016 in the Department of Surgery, Government Thoothukudi Medical College, Thoothukudi. Results: Our study comprised 42 calculus and 8 non calculus gall bladder diseases belong to elective cases. Among the 50 cases, 4 cases needed pre-operative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and stenting. In our study, 18 cases belong to more than 50 years of age, and only 2 cases were <20 years age group. 50% of patients belong to blood group O positive and only 3 cases had AB positive blood group. In our study, only 2 cases were converted to open cholecystectomy. All patients except conversion cholecystectomy stayed in the hospital for <5 post-operative days. Conclusion: These results support the view that LC is a safe, cost-effective method for performing cholecystectomy with a remarkable improvement in patient recovery time.
