Spillage of gallstones is common during laparoscopic cholecystectomy and may lead to intra-abdominal abscesses and sinus formation. We describe two patients with recurrent abscess at the site of epigastric port due to presence of large spilled stone in the parietes following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Removal of the stone led to resolution of symptoms.

Objective: The study aimed to investigate the rate of conversion from laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) to open cholecystectomy (OC) in our population and determine the potential risk factors associated with it. Understanding these factors helps surgeons predict complex cases and plan surgeries, reducing patient risks and improving outcomes.
Methodology: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted from June 1, 2022, to May 31, 2023, at Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar, on 349 patients undergoing elective LC.

Background: While previous literature has shown that resident involvement increases operative time, the influence of resident involvement on operative time is generally not considered in current methods of case time predictions or operating room planning. Furthermore, evidence of prolonged case times based on the level of the assisting resident is yet scarce. We hypothesized that operative time would increase with the post-graduate year of assisting residents as they gain more autonomy in the operating room.

Aim: This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of ultrasonography (US) by comparing preoperative ultrasonographic findings with intraoperative observations during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).
Materials And Methods: An observational analytical study was conducted at a tertiary hospital in Pune over two years and included 98 patients aged 20-80 with symptomatic cholelithiasis confirmed by US. Preoperative parameters assessed included gallstone number, gallbladder volume, wall thickness, and pericholecystic fluid.
