Abstract
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is gold standard for gall stone disease. For a successful surgery, need a good patient selection. We Have observed numbers of situations where conversion to open surgery occurred, this is probably due to operation in a compromised vision, difficulty in holding structure and lack of tectile sensation. Conversion rates varies from 5-10% in different centers. So, if one can preoperatively predict the difficult gall stone disease, the comorbidity, iatrogenic injury and cost of treatment will be definitely decrease.
