Abstract: Gall stones constitutes a significant health problem in developed societies. Risk factors for gall stone disease are family history and genetics, age (incidence increases with age), gender and female sex hormones, obesity, dyslipidaemia, diabetes mellitus and the metabolic syndrome, rapid weight loss, total parenteral nutrition, life style factors and socioeconomic status, reduced physical activity heightens the risk of gall stone disease whereas increased physical activity prevent cholelithiasis. laparoscopic cholecystectomy decreases the postoperative pain, decrease the need for postoperative analgesia, shortens the hospital stay to less than 24 hours and returns the patient to full activity within one week (compared with one month after open cholecystectomy). This study was done to recognise the rates of laparoscopic and open cholecystectomies in our institute and the factors influencing the choice of one over the other and conversion rates.
