Introduction: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is an insignificantly offensive surgical procedure for the elimination of a diseased gallbladder. LC has become the gold standard for the surgical treatment of symptomatic cholelithiasis and has gained worldwide acceptance. It is a negligibly invasive procedure with a considerably shorter hospital stay and a earlier recovery compared with the classical open cholecystectomy. Aim of the study: The aim of our study was to compare between Spinal Anaesthesia and General Anaesthesia for laparoscopic cholecystectomy in healthy patients. Material & Methods: This comparative clinical study was conducted in the Department of Anesthesia, Ashiyan Medical College Hospital, Barua Khilkhet, Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period from January 2017 to December 2017. The aim of our study was to compare between Spinal Anaesthesia and General Anaesthesia for laparoscopic cholecystectomy in healthy patients. A total of 120 patients aged between 18-65 years of both sex with ASA Grade status I and II undergoing elective laparoscopic Cholecystectomy were selected for the study. After taking written informed consent from the study participants, we were elected 120 study subjects and divided into two groups; Group I (n=60) received General Anaesthesia. And Group II (n=60) received Spinal Anaesthesia. Elective laparoscopic Cholecystectomy procedure was taken. Results: In this study majority patients (70% and 63% in Group I and Group II respectively) were male and mean age was 36.67 in Group I, 34.58 in Group II. Mean operative time (minutes) were 66.03 in Group I, 66.63 in Group II. Average hospital stay was 48.33 hours in Group I and 36.53 hours in Group II. Conclusion: Spinal Anaesthesia was observed to be better safety and sufficiency in patients of good health in the present study.
