“…The appeal of diminished pain and fatigue, early return to normal activities and superior cosmesis has made it a popular surgery [5]. By now laparoscopic cholecystectomy has emerged as new gold standard for treatment of symptomatic cholelithiasis and increasing number of procedures are done for acute cholecystitis [6][7][8]. Several complications related to anaesthesia, peritoneal access, pneumoperitoneum, surgical exploration, anatomical and pathological have been reported during Laparoscopic…”

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has revolutionized minimally invasive surgery, considered as gold standard and increasing number of procedures are done for patients with various high risk comorbid conditions. LC today can be as straightforward operation, but may also be an operative approach fraught with underlying complexities necessitating conversion to open cholecystectomy leading to longer operative time, longer hospital stay and more postoperative morbidity and higher hospital costs. We have tried to estimate the rate and risk factors which are associated with the conversion.

“…Significant bleeding occurs in 0.5% of LCs. 6 In our series, bleeding was observed in 12 (0.89%) patients, but in most cases it was controlled laparoscopically. Only 6 (0.44%) patients had significant bleeding that required conversion to the open procedure.…”

“…6,9,15,27,30,31 In our series, 25 (1.87%) procedures were converted to the open technique (Table 2). In most cases, uncontrolled bleeding and dense perihepatic or Calot's triangle adhesions were the main reasons for conversion to the open cholecystectomy.…”

“…26 Nowadays, LCs have become the gold standard for management of cholelithiasis. 1,6,27 Publications from large tertiary care centers have dealt with the surgical technique, associated complications, and the benefits of an LC. The results of this case series of LCs performed in different hospitals of a developing country are similar to those in the surgical literature from tertiary care settings and rural hospitals.…”

“…[1][2][3] Compared with an open cholecystectomy, an LC causes less postoperative pain and postoperative pulmonary dysfunction and allows for earlier discharge from the hospital, shortened recovery periods, and improved cosmesis. 1,[4][5][6][7][8] In the literature, large series of LCs have been reported with few complications, 6,9-12 and most surgeons and patients now prefer an LC to an open cholecystectomy.Minimal access surgery is limited in this region. Since 1995, only two teaching hospitals offer this service to a population of nearly 6 million.…”
