Background: Gallstone disease (GSD) is one of the most common gastrointestinal diseases. Gallstones represent a significant burden for health care systems worldwide and are one of the most common disorders presenting to emergency room. Methods: Hospital based case control study conducted at Department of Biochemistry with close collaboration of Department of General Surgery, S. P. Medical College and associated group of PBM Hospital, Bikaner, Rajasthan. Results: The insignificant serum amylase level difference in case group (47.80± 21.24) as compares to control group (45.97± 16.38). Conclusion: In this study comparison of amylase between case and controls group showed that the levels of amylase in cholelithiasis patients were higher than that of the control group, but there was no significant variation in amylase. Keywords: Amylase, cholelithiasis, Gallstone disease (GSD).

BACKGROUND Gallstones are one of the commonest medical problems leading to surgical intervention. There is recent rise in the incidence of cases due to westernisation of diet. This study intends to know the various modes of presentation, its complications and various treatment modalities with their outcomes. The aim of the study is to study the prevalence of cholelithiasis and to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of laparoscopic versus open cholecystectomy surgical procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a prospective study conducted at tertiary care centre for a period of two years. 100 consecutive cases of cholelithiasis were admitted, investigated and operated during this period and results analysed. RESULTS Cholelithiasis was common in the 4 th decade with majority of cases occurring in females. The commonest clinical presentation was pain abdomen. All the cases were diagnosed on ultrasonography abdomen. The diet consumed was mixed diet. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was done in 72 cases and 28 cases underwent open cholecystectomy. The conversion rate was 4%. The complications were minimal. Mean operating time for open cholecystectomy was 96 minutes and laparoscopic cholecystectomy was 90 minutes. Mean duration of hospital stay was 9 days for open cholecystectomy and 4 days for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. CONCLUSION Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a safe and effective treatment in most of the patients with symptomatic cholelithiasis. In cases of adhesions and inflammation, open cholecystectomy is preferred.

BACKGROUND Cholelithiasis is a chronic recurrent disease of hepatobiliary system. The impaired metabolism of cholesterol, bile acids and bilirubin (1) are characterised by gallstone formation. The prevalence of gallbladder stone varies widely in different parts of the world. In India, it is estimated to be around 4%. Diagnosis of gallstone is by proper history and physical examination and combining it with appropriate investigations. The aims and objectives of the present study are-1. To study the age and sex distribution of cholelithiasis in Northern Andhra Pradesh. 2. To study the various modes of presentation of cholelithiasis. 3. To evaluate the incidence of complications of cholelithiasis. 4. To compare and evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of laparoscopy versus open cholecystectomy.
