Results: Age group 25-35 years had 12 patients, 35-45 years had 30 patients and 45-55 years had 28 patients. The difference was non- significant (P> 0.05). Common pathologies were gall stone with sludge in 16, cholecystitis in 34, polyps in 8 patients and benign tumors in 8 patients. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Common clinical findings were fever in 56, nausea/vomiting in 60, pain in 66, jaundice in 22 and unusual stool or urine in 15 patients. The difference was non- significant (P>0.05).
