Aims and Objectives: The aim of the present study was to determine various factors on clinical and radiological grounds to predict difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The objective of this study was to correlate the pre operative clinical and ultrasonographic findings of the gall bladder with the intra operative difficulties encountered during the surgery and need for the conversion. Materials And Methods: Study population: Cases admitted during September 2020 to April 2022 in RMC, Hapur for cholelithiasis, who were clinically evaluated and confirmed by ultrasonography.  Study Design: Prospective observational study  Patients were considered from any socio-economic status, any religion, age limits between 18-60 years, and both gender were included. Conclusion: The term "difficult cholecystectomy" refers to many intraoperative technical challenges that greatly lengthen the procedure time and raise the risk of complications. Knowing the various clinical, radiological, and specific predictors that offer some prognosis of difficult LC is crucial since it not only aids in patient counseling but also aids the surgeon in better preparation for anticipated intra-operative challenges.
