Primary

Measure	Time frame
1.Postoperative Pain 2.Operative time 3.Intraoperative and Postoperative ComplicationsTimepoint: Pain intensity will be measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at predefined intervals (6, 12, and 24 hours). Total duration of surgery will be measured from skin incision to skin closure, and time taken from skin incision to complete dissection of Calot s triangle. Documentation of complications, including bile duct injury, haemorrhage, and other adverse events will be done.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Conversion RateTimepoint: Incidence of conversion from three-port to four-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy or to open surgery, along with underlying indications will be noted.;Postoperative Analgesic RequirementTimepoint: Quantification of analgesic consumption (type, dose, and frequency) in addition to prescribed analgesics will be done.;Return to Normal ActivitiesTimepoint: Time taken to resume daily activities will be recorded in days.;Length of Hospital StayTimepoint: Total postoperative hospital stay will be measured in days;Patient SatisfactionTimepoint: Assessment of cosmetic outcomes will be done using validated scoring tools at the time of suture removal;Surgeon Ergonomics and ComfortTimepoint: Evaluation of ergonomic strain, posture, and physical discomfort using standardized ergonomic assessment tools	—
