Results from these studies have evidences for and against the early Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. The aim of this study is to retrospectivel Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. Laparoscopic approach for Acute Cholecystitis. Various parameter of hospital stay, bile duct injury and port site infection as predictors of efficiency of early laparoscopic approach. Results: The analysis included 95 patients, 57 females and 38 males, average age w symptoms before intervention was 64 hours. Mean operating time was 96 minutes. Over all conversion rate was 16.8%, which decreased substantially from year 1 through till the end of study period. Length of hospital stay was 3 (Mean =4.6 days). Postoperative complication occurred in 7 patients (2 cases of cystic duct leak and 5 cases of port site infection). Conclusion: Early laparoscopic approach has yielded comparable results in terms of operating time, conversion r...
