INTRODUCTION Gallstones are the most common conditions encountered in surgical OPD. The prevalence rose with age, except in women of 40-49 years, so that at 60-69 years, 22.4% of women and 11.5% of men had gall stones or had undergone cholecystectomy. With the help of this study, best treatment option for cholecystectomy patient (whether to insert drain or not), was ensured in terms of post lap cholecystectomy collections of bile or blood, drain site pain. The study was provide knowledge whether drain insertion was benecial or harmful to patient. MATERIALS AND METHODS This comparative study was presented to the surgery OPD and emergency department with cholelithiasis within a period of 1 year from the approval of Research committee and Ethics Committee, Adesh institute of medical sciences and research, Bathinda. The primary outcome variable used to calculate sample size is amount of collection on post-operative day 3(Quantitative Variable) in both groups. Total 100 patients were present in this study. RESULT In this present study VAS median grade in patients with drain was G4 (48%), followed by G3(47%) then G2(5%). VAS median grade in without drain group was G2 (48%), followed by G3(31%) and G1(16%). CONCLUSION There is no signicant difference as far as post operative wound infection in laparoscopic Cholecystectomy with drain or without drain. Therefore in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy keeping drain can be avoided as it does not provide any additional benet.

Background and aim - Cholilithiasis is most common cause for cholecystectomy. These days laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the standard treatment for cholilithiasis. Extraction of gall bladder is an important cause for post operative pain after cholecystectomy. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is still evolving, the number of ports are being reduced day by day. From standard four port to single incision and using natural orifices (NOTES). This study was done to determine whether the patients undergoing gall bladder retrieval via umbilical port was associated with more complications than epigastric port in a standard four port laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Method - 400 patients were selected for the study and were randomly allocated into 2 groups. Postoperatively, port-site pain score assessed at 2, 6, 12, and 24 hours by visual analog scale (VAS) score both for the epigastric and umbilical ports in all the patients and other variables are assesed accordingly and the collected data were analyzed by using SPSS version 22. Result - The postoperative pain and spillage was more in retrieval via epigastric port with only mild technical difficulty and relatively higher incidence of port site hernia from the retrieval port in retrieval via umbilical port.

Introduction : Postoperative pain is variable in intensity,character,duration and is the main factor delaying discharge of patients undergoing day-care procedures including laparoscopy and hence adding to hospital cost and stay. Optimal management has a potential for shortening of hospital stay and for speeding up of recovery.AIM :Comparing the effect of port site and intraperitoneal instillation of 0.5% bupivacaine with adrenaline versus saline for post-operative analgesia in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. To assess the need of rescue analgesics in post- operative period in both groups.Material & Method :A comparative study to be performed on 50 cases receive 40 mls of 0.5% bupivacaine as intraperitoneal infiltration and local infiltration of 20 mls of 0.5% bupivacaine in the port sites (5 ml infiltration in each port) versus 50 cases receive 40 ml of normal saline intraperitoneally Discussion :Reduction in post-operative pain with better cosmesis and early return to work have been the goals to improve cost effectiveness and patient satisfaction. Conclusion : We conclude that instillation of local anaesthetic drug intraperitonialy & Port site local anaesthetic agent injection has added benefits in post operative pain

Objective: To determine whether gall bladder (GB) retrieval from umbilical port is associated with more pain at port site as compared to GB retrieval from epigastric port in adult patients undergoing four port elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy at a tertiary care hospital. Methods: Adult patients, who were undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy during a six-month period in 2010 at our institute, were randomized to either group A (n = 60, GB retrieval through epigastric port) or group B (n = 60, GB retrieval through umbilical port). VAS for pain was assessed by a registered nurse at 1, 6, 12, 24 and 36 h after surgery. Results: The VAS for pain at umbilical port was less than epigastric port at 1, 6, 12, 24 and 36 h after surgery (5.9 ±1.1 vs. 4.1± 1.5, 4.6± 0.94 vs. 3.5± 1.05, 3.9± 0.85 vs. 2.4± 0.79, 3.05± 0.87 vs. 2.15± 0.87, respectively) and the difference was statistically significant (p-value < 0.001). Multiple linear regression was done for port site pain at 24 h and the VAS at umblical port was less than epigastric port with VAS difference of 0.9 after adjusting for age, sex, duration of surgery and additional analgesia use (r 2 =0.253, p-value < 0.001). Conclusion: Gall bladder retrieval from umbilical port is associated with lower port site pain than GB retrieval from epigastric port in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We recommend umbilical port for gall bladder retrieval.
