ABSTRACT
Objective: To find out the tier of surgeons performing most of surgery on the gall bladder and imply the results for
improving the outcome of gall bladder surgery.
Study Design: Retrospective review.
Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted at the South Surgical Ward, Mayo Hospital, Lahore from December, 2015- 30th November, 2016
Materials and Methods: This was a carried out on the hospital record in order to find out number of gall bladder surgeries whether open or laparoscopic performed by a surgeon. We found out a total of 124 patients were operated for gall bladder removal.
Results: Our study shows that out of 124 patients, 95 (76.6%) patients had laparoscopic cholecystectomy and 29 (23.3%) patients had open cholecystectomy. 74.7 % (n=71) patients of laparoscopic surgery were performed by consultants, 23.1% (n=22) by senior registrars and 2.1% by the residents. 13.7% (n=4) of the open cholecystectomies were done by the consultants, 34.4 % (n=10) by senior registrars and 51.7 % (n=15) by the residents
Conclusion: We are performing laparoscopic cholecystectomy three time more often than the open cholecystectomy. The residents are the most frequent operating surge ns f r en cholecystectomy. This has helped us improve the open surgery skills of residents.
