Abstract
Introduction: Cholelithiasis is the most common and important cause of biliary tract disease. In today’s world, laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold standard treatment for gallstones. Decrease in the size or number of ports provide better results in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Objective: We aim the study to find out feasibility of three port lap cholecystectomy over four port lap cholecystectomy regarding post-op pain, duration of surgery, conversion rate, hospital stay and complications. Materials & Methods: Patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were included. 76 patients enrolled for the study and divided into two groups as 3 port and 4 port. Surgical preformed assessment proforma used to collect the data. Results: The mean age of the studied patients was 46.38 years with female preponderance. The Mean operative time for three ports was 66.90 minutes and for four ports it was 75.45minutes. Mean duration of post-operative stay for three port was 4.66 and for the conventional group it was 5.30. Conclusion: Patients who underwent the three port technique had a lesser hospital stay compared to patients who underwent the conventional 4 port technique. Patients had less postoperative pain, lesser requirement of analgesics in three port group. 2 patients from the 4 port group had fever 48 hours after surgery.
