Overview

To compare the outcomes of three ports and four ports Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

To compare the outcomes of three ports and four ports Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Randomized clinical trial comparative study will be carried out on 50 patients underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy in general surgical department, Sohag University. An informed written consent will be obtained from the patients. Every patient will receive an explanation of the purpose of the study and will have a secret code number. Research results will be only used for scientific purposes. Any unexpected risks appearing during the course of research will be clarified to the participants and to the ethical committee on time. Patients will be randomly classified into two equal groups; 25 patients will be enrolled in each group using computer generated random number in closed sealed envelope. Group I (3-ports): 25 patients undergo a three-port LC. Group II (4-ports): 25 patients undergo a four-port LC. All patients will be subjected to thorough history taking (age, sex, symptoms, and duration of symptoms) and full clinical evaluation. Abdominal ultrasound will be done in all patients. Baseline laboratory (complete blood count and coagulation profile) will be ordered in all patients.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Postoperative pain score

Measurement of postoperative pain in both groups according to visual analogue scale The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) measures pain intensity. The VAS consists of a 10cm line, with two end points representing 0 ('no pain') and 10 ('pain as bad as it could possibly be'). Ask the patient to rate their current level of pain by placing a mark on the line. Use a ruler to measure the distance in centimetres from the 'no pain marker' (or zero) to the current pain mark. This provides a pain intensity score out of 10; for example, 6 out of 10 (or 6/10).
