Abstract: During lap. cholecystectomy (LC), cystic duct occlusion can be done with titanium clips or laparoscopically silk ligature. However, till now, there is no randomized, controlled study reported in the literature that has compared the outcome using either of these methods. In the present study, 100 patients who were to undergo lap. cholecystectomy were randomly assigned to two groups. Group I comprised patients undergoing cystic duct occlusion with clips while group II comprised those undergoing cystic duct occlusion with silk. Our aim was to compare the postoperative outcome in both the cases.
