Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy – Minimally Invasive Gallbladder Removal
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is a minimally invasive surgery to remove the gallbladder, a small pear-shaped organ that stores bile produced by the liver. This procedure is commonly performed to treat gallstones and gallbladder diseases that cause pain, infection, or inflammation.
During the surgery, the surgeon makes small incisions in the abdomen and inserts a laparoscope, a thin tube with a camera, to visualize the gallbladder on a screen. Using specialized instruments, the gallbladder is carefully removed through another small incision. Compared to an open cholecystectomy, this laparoscopic approach offers faster recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring.
For expert gallbladder stone treatment in Wakad, Pune, consult Dr. Ujwal Zambare, a leading Gastroenterologist and Gallbladder Specialist, offering advanced laparoscopic gallbladder surgery for safe and effective treatment.
Who Needs to Have Gallbladder Removal?
A laparoscopic cholecystectomy helps people with gallstones that are causing pain and infection. Gallstones are crystals that form in the gallbladder. They can block the flow of bile out of the gallbladder into your digestive system. This roadblock causes cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder). Gallstones can also move to other parts of the body and cause problems.
What Are the Benefits of Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy?
Your healthcare provider or surgeon will determine whether open or laparoscopic cholecystectomy is right for you. The laparoscopic procedure has several benefits:
- Less pain.
- Lower risk of complications.
- Quicker recovery and return to regular activities.
- Smaller wounds and scars.
