Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove the gallbladder. The gallbladder is a small organ located just below the liver that stores bile, a substance produced by the liver that helps digest fats. Gallstones are a common condition that can cause inflammation and pain in the gallbladder. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove the gallbladder and prevent further complications.
During a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the surgeon makes several small incisions in the abdomen and uses specialised instruments to remove the gallbladder. A camera is also inserted through one of the incisions to provide a view of the surgical site on a monitor. The surgeon then uses the instruments to carefully dissect and remove the gallbladder. Before the procedure, patients will be given general anaesthesia to ensure they are comfortable and do not feel any pain during the surgery. The surgeon will also perform several tests to ensure the patient is a good candidate for the procedure, including blood tests, imaging tests, and a physical examination. After the procedure, patients will be monitored closely in the recovery room to ensure there are no complications. Most patients will be able to eat and drink normally within a few hours of the procedure and can return home the same day or the following day.
Compared to traditional open surgery, laparoscopic cholecystectomy offers several benefits, including less pain, smaller scars, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times. Most patients are able to go home the same day as the procedure or the following day and can return to normal activities within a week or two. While laparoscopic cholecystectomy is generally safe and effective, as with any surgical procedure, there are some risks and potential complications, including bleeding, infection, damage to surrounding organs, and bile leakage. Patients should discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure with their doctor and carefully follow all pre- and post-operative instructions to minimise the risk of complications.
