The purpose of this study was to compare the frequency of pain and mean hospital stay in patients with and without drain insertion, following laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acutely inflamed gallbladder.
Most hospitals in Pakistan still do not have a policy of early laparoscopic cholecystectomy in acutely inflamed gallbladder, partly because of feared higher conversion rates to open procedure and presumed increased risk of complications. There are fewer local studies to elaborate the role of drain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acutely inflamed gallbladder. This study was conducted to analyze the role of routine use of drains after laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acutely inflamed gallbladder. Does it offer any advantage in detecting bile leak or bleeding. Also to prove that placing drains prolongs the hospital stay and increases postoperative pain in comparison to patients in whom drain is not placed.
After being informed about the study and the potential risks, all patients giving written informed consent, underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy using conventional 4 port method. Patients were divided in two groups by lottery method. Group A - no drain group and Group B - drain group. Post operatively parameters of pain and total hospital stay were assessed and analysed.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Drain Group | Active Comparator | Suction drain was placed in sub hepatic region through 5 mm lateral trocar site. |

| Without Drain Group | No Intervention | No drain was placed |
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Suction drain | Other | Post operatively, in both arms including drain group and no drain group, parameters of pain was assessed by visual analog scale (VAS) from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain), assessed at 1st postoperative day by the duty doctor or the nurse. VAS > 3 was considered as post surgical pain. The total number of hospital stay was noted from the day of operation till the day of discharge and discharge criteria was taken as a patient having pain as per VAS<3, no fever and tolerating oral intake |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Pain intensity | Pain was assessed by VISUAL ANALOGUE SCALE (VAS) from 0 to 10, taking 0 SCORE FOR NO PAIN AND MAXIMUM 10 SCORE FOR WORST PAIN, assessed at 1st postoperative day by the duty doctor or the nurse. VAS > 3 was considered as post surgical pain. | 1st post operative day |
| Mean Hospital stay | Number of days from the day of operation till the day of discharge and discharge criteria was taken as a patient having pain as per VISUAL ANALOGUE SCALE <3 (0 SCORE FOR NO PAIN AND MAXIMUM 10 SCORE FOR WORST PAIN), no fever and tolerating oral intake. | 1st to 5th post operative day |
