Abstract

Laparoscopic Surgery is an expanding field of diagnostic and surgical therapy. Phillepe Mouret is credited with the first Laparoscopic cholecystectomy in 1987. Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is now considered as the gold standard in the treatment of gall bladder disease. The aim of this Chapter publication is to highlight the indications and contraindications of Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy including the advantage of the procedure. Preoperative preparation will be mentioned and a detailed description of the operative protocol of Laparoscopic cholecystectomy will be analyzed. Also post -operative complications of the Surgery of Laparoscopic cholecystectomy will be elaborated including ways to avert and manage the complications. Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is the most commonly performed minimal access surgery by general surgeon’s worldwide. In Europe and America 99% of all the Cholecystectomy is performed by Laparoscopy. The award of excellence of less invasive surgery is to Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. However, in the developing countries, it is a relatively new area. Challenges encountered in the developing countries include power failure, equipment failure and difficult dissection due to the usage of less potent energy sources. Despite this myriads of challenges posed by such a novel technique Laparoscopic surgery can be safe, feasible and effective, even in a resource poor setting. However in time to come, it will be expedient to provide more Laparoscopic facilities and a dedicated theatre suit and train more personnel in order to upgrade the range of procedures, that can be performed in the developing world.
