Brief Summary

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the gold standard procedure for

managing patients with symptomatic gall bladder diseases

GB is usually extracted after LC either from the epigastric or umbilical port

According to review of literature epigastric port for GB retrieval is preferred

due to the surgeon’s ease and also as there was no need to change the

position of the telescope, however, retrieval through umbilical port has

less post-operative pain as mentioned in few studies.

Therefore, till date, there is no level 1 evidence or meta- analysis to

support the superiority of one port over another for GB extraction in terms

of postoperative port- site pain

This study is undertaken to compare gall bladder (GB) retrieval from

umbilical port with epigastric port in terms of post-operative pain, port site

infection, retrieval time and port site herniation in adult patients

undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy
