BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine whether the preoperative USG finding can predict the risk of conversion or difficulty during the laparoscopic cholecystectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS 200 patients undergoing Laparoscopic cholecystectomy at Kathmandu Medical College Teaching Hospital were included. Sonographic parameters like size of gall bladder, wall thickness, distance betwee...

Purpose Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (LC) is common practice in treatment of symptomatic gall stones. LC is often associated with preoperative anxiety and stress which may negatively impact postoperative pain perception and recovery from surgery. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether a “non-pharmacological” intervention with guided imagery can reduce preoperative anxiety, post...

Abstract Background Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) remains as the gold standard of surgical treatment for gallstone disease. Biliary duct injury (BDI) is an infrequent but serious complication LC. Strasberg's critical view a useful strategy to minimize risk BDI . However, BDIs could still happen. Variations right posterior hepatic (RPHD) are common. The RPHD challenging and literature on thi...

BACKGROUND Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is one of the most common surgeries in laparoscopic surgery. Although, it is believed that LC has low-risk for post-operative infectious complications, the use of a prophylactic antibiotic is still controversial in elective LC. OBJECTIVE To determine the impact of prophylactic antibiotics on postoperative infection complications in elective laparos...

Gallstone spillage is a common intraoperative event during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Patients present months to years with nonspecific symptoms after the original procedure. The complications of retained peritoneal gallstones are infrequent. Having a high index of suspicion is the key to early diagnosis. Every effort should be made to remove spilled gallstones at the index operation to...

objective: this study aims to identify whether dexamethasone can be used in the prevention of nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) under general anesthesia. Methods: 400 patients who were performed with LC under general anesthesia were chosen and divided randomly into two groups with 200 patients each, namely ramosetron group and dexamethasone group. Results: there’s no s...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) using surgical electrocautery is considered to be the gold standard procedure for the treatment of uncomplicated cholecystitis and cholelithiasis. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the Harmonic scalpel, an advanced laparoscopic technique associated with less thermal damage in LC, when co...
