Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this observational study is to assess the role of Apfel's score in predicting postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after laparoscopic cholecystectomy in patients with symptomatic cholelithiasis. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Does Apfel's score accurately predict the occurrence of PONV after laparoscopic cholecystectomy?
2. Which components of Apfel's score are most strongly associated with PONV?

Participants will undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia. Researchers will calculate each participant's Apfel score preoperatively, and postoperative outcomes, such as nausea and vomiting, will be monitored for 24 to 48 hours. Researchers will compare PONV incidence among patients with varying Apfel scores to determine if higher scores correlate with a higher risk of PONV.
