Abstract
The aim of the present study was to compare monopolar electrocautery versus ultrasonic dissection of gall bladder in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. A prospective randomized controlled trial within the duration of 1 year was conducted in the Department of General Surgery after taking clearance from Ethical committee. It included 50 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Age distribution was similar among groups. Sex distribution had an insignificant p value. Operational time differed significantly across groups. The two groups differed significantly in lens cleaning frequency. Gall bladder perforation distribution differed significantly between groups. Biliary leak distribution was similar among groups. The drain output/nature distribution was similar among groups. Thus, hospital stay days were similar across groups. In conclusion, ultrasonic harmonic laparoscopic gallbladder stone dissection is safer than monopolar electrocautery.
