Gallbladder Counting on Epigastric Site;A Randomized Trial Comparing Postoperative Pain After Gallbladder Retrieval From Umblical and Epigastric Port Site in Laproscopic Cholecystectomy
To know the association of postoperative pain after gallbladder removal from umbilical port site versus epigastric portsite, after four ports laparoscopic cholecystectomy,and the epigastric port site was found to be friendly for the patients in terms of less pain after gallbladder removal from this site after surgery.
Objective: To know the association of postoperative pain after gallbladder removal from umbilical port site versus epigastric port site, after four ports laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Randomized controlled trial was performed during 1-year period from January 2017 till January 2018, at a private hospital setup. Both male and female patients, with age group 18 and above, in years, were considered, who were planned four ports laparoscopic cholecystectomy after typical cholelithiasis. Those patients with polyps , mucocele or empyema in gallbladder or perforated gallbladder requiring emergency surgery were omitted from the study. The patients were randomly selected, 65 in which gallbladder was removed from umbilical region (group A) and 65 from epigastric region (group B) respectively. Determination of postoperative pain was done on day one, at the time of release from the hospital and at follow-up time one-month post-surgery, with the help of Numerical Analogue Scale (NAS).
