Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold standard treatment of choice for gallstone diseases. One of the most common complications of laparoscopic cholecystectomy is iatrogenic gallbladder perforation. Iatrogenic gallbladder perforation during laparoscopic cholecystectomy remains a poorly understood phenomenon. The literature is limited, and there is a need for further research to elucidate the risk factors, mechanisms, and outcomes of this complication. All patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy at Lotus Hospital in Erode will be subjected to clinical assessment, alongside routine and radiological investigations. The study aims to identify the various perioperative predisposing factors contributing to gallbladder perforation and to evaluate the complication rates associated with gallbladder perforation during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The study was conducted from May 2023 to December 2024, encompassing a duration of twenty months. The occurrence of iatrogenic gallbladder perforation does not appear to significantly elevate the risk of surgical site infection or postoperative collections; however, it is correlated with prolonged operative times and extended hospital admissions. The prompt retrieval of stones, adequate peritoneal irrigation, and the administration of prophylactic antibiotics may positively influence patient outcomes. Further research involving a larger sample size is warranted to substantiate these findings and to enhance surgical techniques.
