Abstract
Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is widely for the management of symptomatic cholelithiasis. The complications can be further divided into biliary complications and non-biliary complications. The present study was conducted with the aim to evaluate the incidence and complications associated with laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Materials and methods: The retrospective study enrolling 300 subjects was done in the general surgery department. A detailed medical and family history was obtained from the records. Lucker’s procedure was followed for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The trocar insertion was selected accordingly. Chi square test and univariate regression curve were used as a test for significance. The probability value of less than 0.05 was considered significant. Result: A total of records of 300 patients were analyzed. All the patients were aged between 31-60 years. There was a male predominance in our study. The mean age group was 42.21+/-1.23 years. Majority of cases were of Chronic calculous cholecystitis (65%). There were 21% cases (n=63) of acute cholecystitis. There were 19 cases of leakage of bile, out of them 10 were managed conservatively, 5 underwent minimal invasive surgery and 4 underwent open surgery. Conclusion: The incidence of postoperative complications associated with our study was 17.7%.
