To compare the results of gall bladder retrieval from two different ports in laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Not yet recruiting

Brief Summary: Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is one of the most common procedures performed by surgeons. However there have been no studies in our setting to evaluate the umbilical vs epigastric port site gall bladder extraction and its relation to post-operative pain as well as other complications related to port site. Despite a lot of literature available on laparoscopic cholecystectomy, still it is not clear which port site is best to extract gall bladder. This current study aims to explore a better port for gallbladder retrieval in laparoscopic cholecystectomy in terms of pain outcome, time taken for delivery of gall bladder out of abdomen and ease of extraction by randomized controlled trial study to be conducted at our tertiary care teaching hospital.
