Comparison of laparoscopic and open cholecystectomy outcomes: a retrospective study at Kanachur institute of medical sciences, Mangalore

Abstract

This retrospective study aims to compare the outcomes of laparoscopic versus open cholecystectomy performed between January 1, 2021, and June 30, 2022, at Kanachur Institute of Medical Sciences, Mangalore. The study analyzes 250 patients, assessing postoperative recovery time, complications, duration of hospital stay, and demographic factors. The findings demonstrate that laparoscopic cholecystectomy is associated with shorter hospital stays, fewer complications, and quicker recovery than the open procedure.
