Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the post operative pain at the port site in both groupsTimepoint: Pain score will be graded by the patient with VAS score (0-10) at 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours following surgery

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To assess the ease of retrieval of gall bladderTimepoint: The difficulty in GB retrieval will be graded by the operative surgeon by using VAS score (0- easy retrieval, 10- very difficult retrieval);To assess the incidence of port site infectionTimepoint: Port site infection to be graded by South Hampton wound scoring system on day 7, 14 and 06 weeks following surgery;To assess the time taken for retrieval of gall bladder following dissection from liver bedTimepoint: The time taken for removal of the gall bladder following dissection to retrieval in minutes
