Abstract: Introduction: Cholelithiasis or gallstones are hardened deposits of digestive fluid that is formed in the gall bladder. Open cholecystectomy and laparoscopic cholecystectomy are the surgical interventions done to remove gall bladder in these cases. During investigations of these cases of cholelithiasis it is often found that there is significant alteration in liver function test depending upon different forms of cholecystectomy i.e, open and laparoscopic cholecystectomy which produces sometimes symptomatic and sometimes asymptomatic biochemical changes in the body........
