Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To compare the post operative pain at the port site in both groups  Pain score will be graded by the patient with VAS score (0-10) at 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours following surgery 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To assess the ease of retrieval of gall bladder  The difficulty in GB retrieval will be graded by the operative surgeon by using VAS score (0- easy retrieval, 10- very difficult retrieval)  
To assess the time taken for retrieval of gall bladder following dissection from liver bed  The time taken for removal of the gall bladder following dissection to retrieval in minutes 
To assess the incidence of port site infection  Port site infection to be graded by South Hampton wound scoring system on day 7, 14 and 06 weeks following surgery

Brief Summary  

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is one of the most common procedures performed by general surgeons. However, there have been no studies in our setting to evaluate the umbilical vs epigastric port site gall bladder extraction and its relation to post-operative pain as well as other complications related to port site. Despite a lot of literature available on laparoscopic cholecystectomy, still it is not clear which port site is best to extract gall bladder. This current study aims to explore a better port for gallbladder retrieval in    laparoscopic cholecystectomy in terms of pain outcome, time taken for delivery of gall bladder out of abdomen and ease of extraction by randomized controlled trial study to be conducted at our tertiary care teaching hospital.
