Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, or gallbladder removal, is a surgery typically done to remove the gallbladder. The laparoscopic procedure is a minimally invasive surgery. Usually, this is performed when the presence of gallstones has caused swelling, pain, or infection in the gallbladder. The recovery is extremely short and people can return back to their routine in few days.
In this procedure, tiny keyhole-sized incisions are made on the abdomen, and the laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera on the end) is inserted by the gastro specialist, and the procedure is completed.
What are the symptoms of gallstones?
- Pain in right abdomen
- Nausea
- Fever
- Bloating
- Jaundice
These problems are caused by gallstones blocking the flow of bile from the gallbladder. This can cause cholecystitis, or inflammation of the gallbladder. Also, the movement of gallstones can cause further complications in the body.
Tests to determine the condition are:
- - Abdominal Ultrasound
- - Blood Analysis
Benefits of laparoscopic cholecystectomy:
- Smaller Incisions
- Less Pain
- Lower Infection Risk
- Quick recovery
- Can get back to routine in few days
