Introduction: In terms of surgery, cholecystectomy performed using laparoscopy is the current standard of care for Cholelithiasis. This operation is by far the most common type of surgery done today. However, the literature is still divided on whether or not drainage should be performed following an elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine whether or not patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy at Ayub Teaching Hospital, Abbottabad were more likely to develop an infection in the wound if a drain was used. Results evaluation: Checks for wound infections were performed for up to a month after surgery to determine the outcome. Study Design: The study used a randomized controlled trial design. Settings: The study lasted for six months, from January 01, 2022, to June 30, 2022, and took place in the Department of General Surgery, Ayub Teaching Hospital, Abbottabad. Subjects: Patients having laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gall bladder disease were used as subjects.
