A Study of the Comparison Between Preoperative Ultrasonography Findings With Intraoperative Observations in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Preoperative US provides valuable insights for surgical planning, with high sensitivity and specificity for gallbladder wall thickness and pericholecystic fluid. However, its accuracy in detecting the number of stones and gallbladder distension is moderate. US can be considered a useful investigation for diagnosing cholelithiasis. It may be used to predict the fate of LC, but further studies need to be carried out to confirm its surgical importance.
