RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS OF PATIENTS REQUIRING LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY USING INTRA-OPERATIVE CLINICAL HEPATO-BILIARY SCORE ( ICHBS SCORE )

The ICHBS scoring system aims to address the latter by introducing an objective criteria which can standardize the difficulty levels for Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy and recommend the various surgical options for treatment of gallstone disease based on the difficulty levels which can be implemented universally. The ICHBS scoring system is an extremely effective and free tool in treatment of symptomatic gallstone disease and its application is recommended in all patients planned for LC. It can prevent unnecessary calot's triangle dissection ( LSC Type II ) in frozen calot's or gallbladder bed dissection ( LSC Type I ) or by doing LSC Type III thereby reducing associated morbidity and (2) mortality
