Preoperative and Intraoperative Predictors of Conversion from Laparoscopic to Open Cholecystectomy: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Abstract: Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) remains the accepted first-line treatment for symptomatic gallstone disease, yet a clinically important minority of cases cannot be completed laparoscopically. This study aimed to define preoperative and intraoperative predictors of conversion to open cholecystectomy in a rural North Indian tertiary care setting.

Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative variables were compared between converted and non-converted cases. Variables reaching p
