- Abstract
Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is gold standard procedure for routine gall bladder removal nowadays. It has become the preferred surgery of choice for patients with symptomatic cholelithiasis in the last two decades due to its shorter duration of hospital stay, reduced post operative morbidity and better cosmesis Materials and Methods: A retrospective observational study was done in 75 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy in Vydehi Institute of Medical Sciences & Research Centre Bangalore. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on gender and comparison in terms of age of presentation, intra operative complications, duration of surgery, post operative complications, POD 1 pain was done. The duration of hospital stay was also compared Results: The duration of surgery was significantly greater in males (50.65 +/- 8.73) than female group (37.80 +/- 8.78, p < 0.001). Normal anatomy was significantly in greater proportion in females (63.6% ) than males (25.0%, p < 0.001). Intra operative complications such as bile spillage (12.9%), bleeding (6.5%) and bile leak (3.2% ) was significantly more in male than females (p < 0.42). The hospital stay and post op day 1 pain was seen more in males than females. There was no difference between the genders with respect to age (0.118) and post operative complications (p = 0.222) Conclusion: This study suggests that male gender can be a predictor of difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
