Background: Since its introduction in the mid 1980’s, laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has been widely used for symptomatic cholelithiasis. In recent years it has been considered as a gold standard for treatment of symptomatic cholelithiasis. Recent studies have reported that the rate of conversion of LC to open cholecystectomy (OC) is 1.5-19%. The aim of the present study was to predict the difficulties of performing laparoscopic cholecystectomy in symptomatic cholelithiasis. Further, the possibility of converting LC to open cholecystectomy was also investigated using various haematological, clinical, and radiological tool such as USG.Methods: The present prospective study was conducted in in Nehru Hospital of BRD Medical College, Gorakhpur, India over a period of 12 months on in-patients from various surgical wards undergoing LC. The patients were primarily divided into two groups consisting of those undergoing LC and those converted to OC respectively. Parameters like gender, age, body mass index, associated complains, total leukocyte count (TLC) and levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were assessed as potential risk factors for conversion.Results: 50 patients were considered for this study. Results indicated that rate of conversion of LC to OC was found to be maximum for patients belonging to male gender, 31-40 years old, were obese, had previous history of upper abdominal surgery and had raised levels of TLC and ALP. Patients having multiple stones and contracted gall bladder also had a higher incidence of conversion to OC.Conclusions: From results obtained in this study, it could be concluded that parameters like age, gender, obesity, history of upper abdominal surgery, raised levels of TLC and ALP, incidences of multiple stones and contracted gall bladder posed significant risk for LC and acted as predictors for conversion to OC.

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Currently, consensus on the effectiveness of incentive spirometry (IS) following cardiac, thoracic, and upper abdominal surgery has been based on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and systematic reviews of lower methodological quality. To improve the quality of the research and to account for the effects of IS following thoracic surgery, in addition to cardiac and upper abdominal surgery, we performed a meta-analysis with thorough application of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation scoring system and extensive reference to the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> The objective of this study was to determine, with rigorous methodology, whether IS for adult patients (18 years of age or older) undergoing cardiac, thoracic, or upper abdominal surgery significantly reduces30-day post-operative pulmonary complications (PPCs), 30-day mortality, and length of hospital stay (LHS) when compared to other rehabilitation strategies. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> The literature was searched using Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and Web of Science for RCTs between the databases’ inception and March 2019. A random-effect model was selected to calculate risk ratios (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). <b><i>Results:</i></b> Thirty-one RCTs involving 3,776 adults undergoing cardiac, thoracic, or upper abdominal surgery were included. By comparing the use of IS to other chest rehabilitation strategies, we found that IS alone did not significantly reduce 30-day PPCs (RR = 1.00, 95% CI: 0.88–1.13) or 30-day mortality (RR = 0.73, 95% CI: 0.42–1.25). Likewise, there was no difference in LHS (mean difference = −0.17,95% CI: −0.65 to 0.30) between IS and the other rehabilitation strategies. None of the included trials significantly impacted the sensitivity analysis and publication bias was not detected. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> This meta-analysis showed that IS alone likely results in little to no reduction in the number of adult patients with PPCs, in mortality, or in the LHS, following cardiac, thoracic, and upper abdominal surgery.
