Gallstones constitute a significant health problem in developed societies. To investigate the incidence of alterations in liver function tests following laparoscopic cholecystectomy and their association with age, gender and duration of surgery. This prospective observational study was conducted from January 2023 to August 2024,conducted in the Department of Surgery with the help of Department of Biochemistry, JLN Medical College and Hospital, Ajmer. In our study there is significant postoperative rises were observed in mean SGOT, SGPT, total bilirubin and direct bilirubin levels at 24 hours, returning to near preoperative values within 72 hours, while ALP showed no significant changes. In laparoscopic cholecystectomy, transient liver function test alterations primarily due to CO2 pneumoperitoneum are clinically insignificant in healthy patients, suggesting routine post‐operative assessments may not be needed except for those with hepatic compromise.
