An audit of Laparoscopic Cholecystectomies performed at PNS Shifa

PNS Hafeez (Naval Hospital) Islamabad
Open cholecystectomy used to be the gold standard for more than 100 years, now this has been taken over by laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The operation has proved its worth because of little post operative pain, minimal scar, reduced hospital stay (1-2 days) and convalescence 1 to 2 weeks as compared to open cholecystectomy. The only problem seems to be the proper training of surgeons for safety of the patient to avoid common bile duct (CBD) and other injuries.
