* Does there is difference in the frequency of wound infection in patients with open cholecystectomy as compared to laparoscopic cholecystectomy Researcher will compare the frequency of wound infection in participant undergoing open and laparoscopic cholecystectomy to see there is difference in frequency of wound infection between open and laparoscopic cholecystectomy Participants will be asked * To Visit OPD after 1 week for follow up * Keep record of symptoms like erythema, pain, cloudy drainage from the incision site
