Abstract
Traditionally, general anesthesia is used for laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedures. However, because the dissection is limited to the gall bladder fossa and cystic triangle and bowel handling is typically minimal, it can be done under spinal anesthesia. The present study was performed to study the feasibility of performing laparoscopic cholecystectomy under spinal anaesthesia. A prospective observational single center cohort study from 2022 March‐April 2023 at Bankura Sammilani Medical College and Hospital. 100 patients diagnosed with gall stone disease. Females were more younger and more frequently than in males. Three instances had their spinal anesthesia changed to general anesthesia. Two instances had their laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedures changed to open ones. Ten and 13.3% of patients, respectively, required intraoperative analgesia and sedation. The majority of patients did not need any analgesics in the post‐operative time. Headache (15.0%) and mild backache (5%) complications were treated conservatively. For post‐operative urine retention, about 5% of patients needed urinary catheterization. Under spinal anesthesia, laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be done safely and with little morbidity. Spinal anaesthesia involves less cost and is better in terms of post‐operative pain control. The incidence of various postoperative complications are less and manageable.
