Scoring system evaluation of preoperative and intraoperative to predict difficulty in laparoscopic cholecystectomy and its correlation with conversion to open procedure
Keywords:
Gall stone, Difficult cholecystectomy, Parameter of difficult LCAbstract
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become the gold standard in the treatment of symptomatic gallstone diseases. The advantages of decreased post operative pain, earlier oral intake, shorter hospital stay. The aim of study is to predict the preoperative and intraoperative scoring system to predict difficulty in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods: This study was conducted on 60 patients who undergone elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedure . Results: Out of 60 patients who operated there were 35 cases predicted as easy and 25 cases as difficult ones . Preoperative prediction was correct in 88.57% of cases, predicted as easy and 76% as difficult. Conclusion: Preoperative score is statistically and clinically a good test for evaluating the predicting factors for difficult LC. Scoring system evaluated in our study isa reliable and a useful benchmark to predict difficult cases of LC.
