Comparison of gallbladder perforation during dissection from liver bed in patients undergoing monopolar electrocautery with those undergoing ultrasonic dissection during Lap. Cholecystectomy

Aim: comparison of gallbladder perforation during dissection from liver bed in patients undergoing monopolar electrocautery with those undergoing ultrasonic dissection during laparoscopic cholecystectomy settings: department of surgery,bahawal victoria hospital,bahawalpur. duration of study: from: january 2015 to december 2015 results: the mean age of our patients was recorded as 35.88+6.52 in group-a and 36.41+6.24 in group-b. the surgery duration was calculated as 31.97+4.34 minutes in group-a and 34.05+4.62 minutes in group-b. we recorded 19.05%(n=12) in ultrasonic dissector group and 46.03%(n=29) cases with perforation in monopolar electrocautery group,(p: 0.001). conclusion: perforation of gallbladder during dissection from liver bed in patients undergoing monopolar electrocautery is significantly higher when compared with those undergoing ultrasonic dissection during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
