Abstract

Since laparoscopic cholecystectomy was introduced as an alternative to the conventional removal of the gall bladder in 1989, the issue of routine drainage needed re-evaluation. The study was conducted on 30 patients with symptomatic chronic calcular cholecystitis, divided into two groups: group A with drain “15 patients” and group B with no drain “15 patients”. The study proved that there was no difference between group A (with drain) and group B (without drain) regarding postoperative abdominal pain or shoulder pain. Also, there was no difference regarding postoperative wound infection, fever, tachycardia or return to home.
