Laparoscopic Gallbladder Removal (Cholecystectomy)
What Is Gallbladder Removal?
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a minimally invasive surgery that removes your gallbladder. Doctors usually recommend it if you have gallstones or infections that cause pain and digestion problems. Instead of one big cut, the surgeon uses small keyhole-sized incisions.
As a result, recovery is quicker, and you feel better, sooner.
Why Do You Need It?
You might need this surgery if you:
- Feel pain in the upper right side of your stomach
- Have frequent bloating, nausea, or vomiting
- Were diagnosed with gallstones or gallbladder swelling
- Suffer from bile duct blockage or infection
If ignored, these issues can lead to serious complications like pancreatitis or liver damage.
How the Surgery Works
At A1 Laparoscopy Hospital, our surgeons follow a simple and safe process:
- First, you receive general anesthesia.
- Then, we make 3–4 small cuts in your abdomen.
- A thin camera (laparoscope) gives a clear view inside.
- The surgeon removes the gallbladder using precise tools.
- Finally, we close the cuts using dissolvable stitches or glue.
The surgery usually takes less than one hour. Most patients walk the same day!
