Hypochondrium was the presenting symptom in 98% of the cases. Ultrasonography of the abdomen was the most accurate investigation (nearly 100%). Laproscopic Cholecystectomy was the most common surgical procedure done in our series. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was the surgical procedure of choice in 160 cases out of 240 cases (66.6%).
