Complications Associated with Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Abstract

Background: Cholecystectomy is one of the most common abdominal surgical procedures in developed countries. The present study was conducted to assess the complications of LC indicated for symptomatic gallstones.Subjects and Methods:The present study was conducted on 82 patients of cholecystectomy of both genders. Out of 82 LC, 14 were converted to open cholecystectomy. Complications were compared for patients with complete laparoscopic procedures and in those open procedures were done.Results:Out of 82 patients, males were 40 and female were 42. There were 8/68 complications in LC group and 9/14 in open cholecystectomy group. Most common complication in LC group was intraoperative bleeding seen in 2 and in open cholecystectomy group was ligation of CBD in 2 cases. The difference was significant (P< 0.05).Conclusion:Authors found that laparoscopic cholecystectomy has fewer complications as compared to open cholecystectomy.
