Gall bladder removal surgery (laparoscopic cholecystectomy)
Gallbladder removal surgery, also known as cholecystectomy, is a common surgical procedure used to treat gallbladder-related conditions, such as gallstones or inflammation of the gallbladder.
During the surgery, the gallbladder is removed from the body through a small incision in the abdomen, or through laparoscopic surgery, which involves making three small incisions around 5 to 10 mm size and using specialized surgical instruments to remove the gallbladder.
After the surgery, patients may experience some pain and discomfort in the abdomen, and may need to take pain medication for a few days. It is also important to follow a special diet to help the body adjust to the absence of the gallbladder and to prevent digestive problems.
Complications from gallbladder removal surgery are rare, but can include bleeding, infection, and injury to nearby organs. It is important to discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure with our expert doctor before undergoing gallbladder removal surgery.
