Mean visual analogue score (VAS) for pain was 4.5±2.002 in group B and it was 4.36±1.33 for group A in 1st 24 hours (p-value 0.42). 22% of patients had Postoperative nausea and vomiting in group B while 18% of patients in group A. There were 8% of patients with gall bladder perforation in Group B and 24% in group A. Bleeding of gallbladder fossa was 6% and 18% in group B and group A respectively.
