Brij B Agarwal, MD1, Juhil D Nanavati, MBBS1, Nayan Agarwal, MBBSS2, Kumar Manish, DNB1, Naveen Sharma, MD2. 1Ganga Ram Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education & Research and Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, India, 2University College of Medical Sciences, University of Delhi, India

INTRODUCTION- We have earlier reported patient reported outcomes (PRO) related benefits of Yoga practice (YP) in laparoscopic surgery (LS) in a non-randomized study. We undertook a prospective blinded study for impact of YP on outcomes with laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC) as an index LS.

METHODS AND PROCEDURES -An open ended triple blind randomized study of consecutive unselected consenting candidates for elective LC. Randomization by external research coordinators ( blind to peri-operative observations) into Group A and Group B. Standard techniques of LC followed by operating surgeons (blind to pre & postoperative parameters / observations).
