Validation of a Pre-Existing Scoring System for Preoperative Prediction of Difficulty in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Background: One of the most commonly performed surgeries globally is Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (LC) which gold standard surgical procedure for removal gallbladder. It provides numerous benefits over open cholecystectomy but has also shown higher complication rates. Therefore, a system devised pre operative assessment intra difficulty level should be adopted to help with preparedness complications and ensure an efficient course surgery. Objective: The aim this study was validate scoring made by Randhawa Et al assess preoperatively. Study Design: This non randomized prospective observational Methodology: conducted in department general surgery unit 2 at Dow University Hospital, Karachi, Pakistan on 202 patients. Age, gender, BMI, history previous hospitalization, examination finding palpable gallbladder, abdominal scars sonographic findings including wall thickness pericholecystic collection impacted stone were considered score patient Results: Male gender presence fluid found statistically significant predicting intraoperative patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Practical implications: Around 7 35% ends up getting converted into could due various reasons one lack performing For reason, that accurately predicts reducing rate. Keeping benefit mind, preformed tested its validity assessing LC Keywords: cholecystectomy, Scoring system,
