Cholecystectomy is one of the commonest general surgical operations. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is currently the most favoured approach. As it is associated with less postoperative pain and ileus, it allows early discharge of patients from the hospital. Studies from the West have reported that 'day case laparoscopic cholecystectomy' is feasible and safe. In India, the current practice is to admit patients for laparoscopic cholecystectomy 24-48 hours prior to surgery and to discharge most patients within one to two days of surgery. There is no report from any Indian centre describing 'day case laparoscopic cholecystectomy'. We conducted a prospective study to assess the feasibility, safety and patients' acceptance of 'day case laparoscopic cholecystectomy' in a tertiary care hospital.
