Objectives: The aim of this study was to research the average length of the hospital stay for patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in County Hospital Nova Gradiška from 2010 to 2015., to research whether there is difference in the length of the hospital stay between sexes, and to try to explain the difference if it exists. Study Design: The research was organised as s cross-sectional study. Patients and Methods: The study included patients who underwent LC, identified by researching operative protocols for the above-mentioned period, and the data were obtained through existing medical records. Parameters for analysis were gender, age, diagnosis, the length of the hospital stay and the type of the procedure (emergency or elective). Results: 483 patients were analysed. The average length of the hospital stay had median of 5 days (interquartile range 4 – 6 days). The length of the hospital stay is statistically significantly longer in men (p=0.003), for age above 60 years (p=0.001), emergency procedures (p<0.001) and all diagnoses other than uncomplicated chronic calculose cholecystitis (p<0.001). Conclusion: The average length of the hospital stay in County Hospital Nova Gradiška does not differ significantly from the results shown in great cohort studies that researched the topic of LC. The difference in the length of the hospital stay between genders has been noted in some studies, but was not of particular interest and so far there is no feasible theory that would explain it.
