Abstract
Objective: The study was conducted to assess the feasibility, safety, effectiveness, and postoperative
complications of mini cholecystectomy in our setup.
Study Design: It was a descriptive observational study design.
nd th Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted from 02 September 2013 to 30 September 2017 in

operation time, complication, postoperative hospital stay and analyzed with SPSS version 21.
Results:Out of 143 patients 132 (92.30%) were female and 11 (7.69%) were male. Mean age of the patients was
38±10.38 years. Average incision size was 4±0.65 cm. The mean operating time was 39.12±8.66 minutes. The
mean hospital stay was 2 days. Minor post-operative complications like hemorrhage, minor biliary leak and
superficial surgical site infection was seen in 7 patients.
