Popis: Background: Cholelithiasis is the most common biliary pathology. Gallstones are present in 10 to 15% of the general population and asymptomatic in the majority (>80%). The prevalence of gallstone varies widely in different parts of the world. In India it is estimated to be around 4%. Since laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the most common procedure done now days we undertook a study to evaluate factors determining difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The objective of the study was to evaluate preoperative data that can serve as predictors of difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy and help in planning of surgery. Methods: Patients presenting with upper abdominal discomfort and sonographically confirmed cholelithisis were studied in terms of several clinical factors and scoring system was devised. Based on scoring system patients were categorised and evaluated post operatively. Results: In present study prior history of hospitalisation (p 27.5 (p
