Background: Port site complications following elective surgery are rare and port site infections remain the most common short long term complications.
Objectives: The study was conducted to analyze port site complications occurring in patients undergoing Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy for symptomatic cholelithiasis.
Patients and Methods: Ninety patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were recruited to the study. Patients were followed for one year after surgery and port sites were examined for any complication.
Results: Out of ninety patients, only three developed port site infections. No case of port site bleeding, discharge and hernia were reported in follow-up period. The results were insignificant as complication was seen in only 3 patients.
Conclusions: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a safe and effective procedure with low complication rates.
