Manoj Kumar Sharma, Rajesh Kumar Badal

Background: During the past decade laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has become the procedure of choice in the surgical treatment of symptomatic biliary lithiasis. The operation is not completely risk-free, some incidents and complications being more frequent than with open cholecystectomy (OC). The present study was conducted to assess complications of cholecystectomy of gall stones removal. Materials & Methods: The present study was conducted on 328 patients of cholelithiasis of both genders. The standard 4- port laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed in all patients. Complications arising from the surgery were recorded. Results: In this study, out of 328 patients, males were 152 and females were 176. Both biliary and nonbiliary complications take an important place in the published studies. The most common biliary complications described are lesions of the common bile duct, lesions of the right hepatic duct, and perforation of the gallbladder with spilt calculi. We found that common complications were loss of gall stones in 4, perforations of gall bladder in 8, respiratory problem in 2, Cardiac arrhythmia in 4, Hypothermia in 2, sudden death in 2, arterial bleeding in 8 and air embolism in 10. Conclusion: With the introduction of Laparoscopic cholestectomy, there is a surge of newer type of complications but the morbidity associated with this procedure is low.  Common complications occurring are loss of gall stones, perforations of gall bladder, respiratory problem, Cardiac arrhythmia, Hypothermia, sudden death, arterial bleeding and air embolism.
Key words: Arrhythmia, Complications, laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
