Open Cholecystectomy v/s Laparoscopic
cholecystectomy

• Gallbladder Stone Surgery

Introduction

• Gallstones are a common occurrence in northern
  India. However, this trend is now showing pan
  India presence probably because of migration and
  blending of cultures and lifestyle. As many as
  16 and 29 of women above the age of 40-49 years
  and 50-59 years, respectively, had gall stones.
  For every patient with symptomatic gallstone
  disease there are many more with asymptomatic
  gallstones. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has now
  replaced open cholecystectomy as the first-choice
  of treatment for gallbladder stone and
  inflammation of the gallbladder.

Open Cholecystectomy

• Cholecystectomy is one of the most commonly
  performed abdominal surgical procedures. The
  laparoscopic approach is preferred due to
  documented physiologic, economic, and cosmetic
  benefits compared with the open approach.
  However, when laparoscopic cholecystectomy is not
  possible or cannot be completed safely, open
  cholecystectomy is indicated. Open
  cholecystectomy may also be performed as an
  integral part of another operation (eg,
  pancreaticoduodenectomy) or incidentally, if
  indicated, during another gastrointestinal
  operation (eg, colon resection).

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy

• Cholecystectomy is one of the most commonly
  performed abdominal surgical procedures, and in
  developed countries many are performed
  laparoscopically. As an example, 90 percent of
  cholecystectomies in the United States are
  performed laparoscopically. Laparoscopic
  cholecystectomy is considered the "gold standard"
  for the surgical treatment of gallstone disease.
  This procedure results in less postoperative
  pain, better cosmetics, and shorter hospital
  stays and disability from work than open
  cholecystectomy 2-8. However, the overall
  serious complication rate in laparoscopic
  cholecystectomy remains higher than that seen in
  open cholecystectomy.
