When the Calot triangle structures cannot be found and a critical evaluation of patient safety cannot be achieved, surgeons perform a subtotal cholecystectomy (SC). objective Evaluation and analysis of the outcomes of subtotal cholecystectomy at the GIT and Hepatology teaching Hospital is to be conducted. Retrospective analysis of patient data and research methodologies thirteen hundred and eighty onsecutive cholecystectomy patients at GIT & Hepatology Hospital (Oct.2017 to Apr.2020). 53 of the 1380 people investigated underwent a partial cholecystectomy. Routine laparoscopic or open cholecystectomy patients (13.27) could not be included in the study. An individual patient's medical history is mined for information on their preoperative features. Results 53 individuals had subtotal cholecystectomy, with 29 males (55.7%) and 24 women (24.8%) both undergoing the procedure (45.2 percent ). Patients in the research, who ranged in age from 20 to 69, had an average age of 43.5 years. The bulk of the 45 patients (87.2%) had elective surgery, whereas only 8 (15%) had emergency surgery. There were 33 cases of laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy and only 20 cases of open subtotal cholecystectomy in this study (6 patients had conversion subtotal cholecystectomy).
