Abstract

Gallbladder surgery, primarily cholecystectomy, remains one of the most frequently performed abdominal procedures worldwide due to the high prevalence of gallstone disease. This study compares laparoscopic and open cholecystectomy techniques, focusing on operative outcomes, complication rates, and recovery profiles. A total of 320 patients undergoing elective and emergency cholecystectomy were analyzed over a five-year period. Laparoscopic procedures demonstrated shorter operative time, reduced postoperative pain, and significantly decreased hospital stay compared to open approaches. Early implementation of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols further improved functional outcomes. The findings underscore the importance of minimally invasive surgery and standardized perioperative care in optimizing patient recovery.
