AbstractCOVID-19 pandemic has impacted health care globally with restructuring and prioritization of health care services. We prospectively analyzed 104 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy during the peak of COVID-19 in 2020 and compared with 217 patients from the same period in 2019. Emergency admissions constituted majority of cases with no statistical difference between both groups (p = 0.49). Most cholecystectomies were for biliary colic (41.3 vs. 35.5%) and cholecystitis (37.5 vs. 43.8%) without any statistically difference (p = 0.31 and p = 0.29, respectively). This study demonstrates that laparoscopic cholecystectomy was feasible and safe in patients with symptomatic gall bladder disease during the peak period for COVID-19.

Complication Of Surgery

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is one of the procedures through which gall bladder can be removed. Acute cholecystitis was considered a contraindication for laparoscopic procedure but with time and experience this shortcoming is now overcome. Here is a study of 32 patients who were selected for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Among them, 29 patients were operated by laparoscopic method and rest three patients were converted. This study showed the appropriate time for surgery, technical difficulties and the complication of surgery. It may be concluded that laparoscopic cholecystectomy is feasible and beneficial to the patient with acute cholecystitis in its early phase, if necessary support and expertise is available.
