Abstract
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is now considered the Gold Standard for gall bladder stones. The standard procedure makes use of four ports. Surgeons nowadays have marched ahead with only three ports as it is considered to have a good outcome. We aim to compare both these procedures in terms of operative time, hospital stay, complications and cosmetic outcome. This study was conducted in a Tertiary Care Centre in Central India. Total 60 patients with stone in gall bladder seen on Ultrasound or CECT were included and randomly divided into two groups equally. Group A patients were operated by three‐port technique and Group B patients were operated by four‐port technique. Comparison was done between these two in terms of complications both intra operative and post‐operative, hospital stay, operative time and cosmetic outcome. On comparison, the three‐port technique was better in terms of hospital stay and cosmetic outcome. Intra operative and postoperative complications, demography, operative time were similar in both groups. Three‐port laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a safe and feasible procedure with outcome similar to standard four‐port technique and can be done routinely by experienced surgeon. It has better cometic satisfaction to patient and less hospital stay.
