Title: Endo-loop Versus Interrupted Suture Closure of Gallbladder Remnant During
Laparoscopic Subtotal Cholecystectomy: A Retrospective Analysis of Our Experience at a High-
Volume Centre of Eastern Nepal

I have reviewed the above-mentioned manuscript and found it to be a well-conducted and clearly
structured retrospective analysis that compares two methods of gallbladder remnant closure—
interrupted suture versus pre-knotted endo-loop—during laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy
in a high-volume center in Eastern Nepal.
The study presents valuable clinical insights with an adequate sample size and statistically
significant findings. It addresses an important issue in minimally invasive surgery and provides
evidence supporting the use of endo-loop for stump closure in appropriate cases due to its lower
complication rates and improved perioperative outcomes.
Furthermore, the authors have appropriately addressed and incorporated the required revisions
and suggestions, thereby improving the overall clarity, structure, and scientific rigor of the
manuscript.
In light of these considerations, I recommend the article for publication in BMC
Gastroenterology.
Sincerely,
