This prospective and descriptive study was conducted at the department of General Surgery, A total 100 patients mean age of presentation was 35.23±12.32 years, mean duration of operation was 40.32± 14.96 minutes. Age group of 21-40 (67%) was highly effected. Females (66%) were maximum affected than males(34%). The most common mode of presentation being pain (43%), followed by Nausea(21%), Dyspepsia (17%), Pain + Jaundice(10%) and Pain + Nausea(9%) in decreasing order, patients with palpable gallbladder(16%) had more difficulty in operation. USG thickness >3mm (42%) and single stone(19%) in ultrasound of gallbladder had difficulties in operation with duration of operation >40min. Sensitivity, Specificity, Positive predictive value, Negative predictive value and Diagnostic accuracy of detection of stone in ultrasound were 100%, 98.83%, 93.94%, 100% and 99% respectively. All specimens after operation sent for histopathological examination and found Chronic cholecystitis (74%) is maximum followed by Acutecholecystitis(23%) and Mucocele of gallbladder(3%). Out of 100 laparoscopic cholecystectomy, 5cases were converted to open-cholecystectomy due toadhesions around gallbladder which would not be detected in ultrasound.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
