Objective: The objective of this article is to compare the post op events when gall bladder is delivered out from epigastric port as compared to umblical port in laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Methods: 100 Adult patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy during a period of 6 months were compared. Were randomized to either group A (n = 50, GB retrieval through epigastric port) or group B (n = 50, GB retrieval through umbilical port)
Results: After comparison we found that Epigastric gall bladder retrieval was also associated with reduced risk of surgical site infection, and port site incisional hernia, reduced GB perforation rate, reduced port site bleeding rate and reduced difficulty in GB retrieval as compared to umblical port. The need for enlargement of port was more in umblical port as compared to epigastric port however pain was less when gall bladder was retrieved from umblical port
