checklist to assess patients' practices at pre / postoperative period.3) Health condition
assessment sheet to assess patients` health condition on 1st follow up visit at out
Patient's clinic. Results: The mean age of the studied patients was 43.25 ± 11.01. More

laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery as (pre/post-operative care and discharge
instructions). Most (90.5%) of them had unsatisfactory level of practices as(pre/postoperative practices) added to poor health condition assessment for more than half
