… Background: Cholecystectomy is the surgical removal of the inflamed gallbladder. Advancement in technology has led to many treatment options and methods of cholecystectomy but the selection of right method depends upon severity of disease along with available resources and expertise. Objective: To compare the frequency of biliary leakage with clipless versus clipped laparoscopic cholecystectomy for management of cholecystitis. Material & Methods: Study design: Randomized control trial. Setting: Unit 1, Department of Surgery, Jinnah hospital, Lahore. Duration: It was conducted for a period of six months from July 2016 to January 2017. Data collection: A total of 130 patients were included in the study using nonprobability consecutive sampling and were randomly divided in two groups by using lottery method. In group A, clip-less Harmonic scalpel was used along with Ultrasonic shear. In group B, the conventional instruments were used with the application of clips. Patients were called for follow-up in OPD after 1 week to assess biliary leakage through MRCP. All the data was collected through a pre-designed proforma. The data was entered and analyzed in SPSS version 20. Results: The mean age of patients was 42.97±10.77 years with 68 (52.31%) patients were male and 62 (47.69%) patients were females. The biliary leakage was noted in 29 cases i.e. 9 from clipless group and 20 were from clipped group and the difference was statistically significant (p-value=0.020) Conclusion: It can be concluded from this study that the frequency of biliary leakage is significantly higher in the clipped LC for management of Cholecystitis. Thus it is encouraging to use clipless method to avoid such complication and improve surgical outcomes.
