Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To compare postoperative pain between standard 4 port laparoscopic cholecystectomy and robotic cholecystectomy.Timepoint: On admission (baseline), 6 hours after surgery, 24 hours after surgery, 7 days after surgery.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
To compare the operative time between standard 4 port laparoscopic cholecystectomy and robotic cholecystectomy.Timepoint: Start of surgery to end of the surgery;To compare the conversion rate from laparoscopic to open procedure in standard 4 port laparoscopic cholecystectomy & robotic to laparoscopic/open procedure in robotic cholecystectomy.Timepoint: At the end of the surgery;To compare the overall complication rate in terms of bile duct injury, surgical site infections(SSI), port site pain,port site hernia, port site sinus & re-admission rates between standard 4 port laparoscopic cholecystectomy & robotic cholecystectomy.Timepoint: After 1 week	—
