Abstract

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was 1st performed in 1987. It is considered as gold standard treatment for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Post operative pain is one of the reason for overnight hospital stay. The aim of the study is to validate whether gall bladder retrieval from epigastric port was associated with more pain as compared to retrieval from umbilical port in adult patients undergoing standard four ports elective laparoscopy cholecystectomy. A study of six months was conducted at Katihar Medical college, Katihar from july 2019 till February 2020. From this study it is concluded that gall bladder retrieval from umbilical port is better as compared to epigastric port in terms of post operative port site pain. Hence gall bladder retrieval through umbilical port may be preferred for reduction of port site pain.
