Subhepatic drain placement in open and laparoscopic cholecystectomy has been a debatable issue although many surgeons prefers subhepatic drain in postoperative period of cholecystectomy. Drainage in open cholecystectomy is primarily done to prevent sub­hepatic abscess or biliary peritonitis. Considering all the arguments on considering subhepatic drain placement in post operative period, we share our experience with 100 cases wherein 87 underwent laparoscopic and 13 underwent open cholecystectomy without placement of subhepatic drain. The results of this study allowed us to draw the safe conclusion that cholecystectomy without drainage (laparoscopic or open) can result in less post­operative pain, an earlier discharge from the hospital, and an earlier return to work, all of which save hospital costs.
