Three Port vs Four Port Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Comparative Study in a Tertiary Care Centre

Abstract Introduction: Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is now considered the Gold Standard for gall bladder stones. Gallstone disease remains one of the most prevalent digestive disorders worldwide, affecting an estimated 10–15 % of adults and accounting for more than 600,000 cholecystectomies each year. Discussion: Our study, which included a total of 130 cases (65 in each group), provided a breakdown of the primary indications for the procedure. The most common indication was gallstones, accounting for 65% of cases. This was followed by gall bladder polyps (23%), acalculous cholecystitis (8%), and other less frequent indications (4%).
