Gallbladder surgery, also known as cholecystectomy, is a surgical procedure performed to remove the gallbladder when it becomes diseased or causes symptoms. The most common reason for gallbladder removal is the presence of gallstones that block bile flow or cause inflammation.
The gallbladder is a small organ located beneath the liver that stores bile, a digestive fluid produced by the liver. When gallstones develop, they may lead to pain, infection or complications that require surgical treatment.
Modern gallbladder surgery is usually performed using minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, which allows surgeons to perform the procedure through small incisions with faster recovery.
Gallstones are hardened deposits that form in the gallbladder due to an imbalance in the components of bile. These stones may vary in size and can cause blockage of bile ducts leading to severe abdominal pain and digestive problems.
Patients suffering from gallstones may require surgical treatment when symptoms become frequent or complications develop.
Laparoscopic gallbladder surgery is considered the gold standard treatment for gallbladder disease. During this procedure the surgeon makes small incisions in the abdomen and inserts a camera and surgical instruments to remove the gallbladder safely.
Compared to traditional open surgery, laparoscopic techniques offer several advantages.
The laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedure typically involves the following steps:
Most procedures are completed within one to two hours and patients can often return home the same day or the next day.
Recovery following laparoscopic gallbladder surgery is usually rapid. Many patients are able to resume normal daily activities within a few days while full recovery typically occurs within a few weeks.
Following surgery patients may be advised to maintain a healthy diet and gradually return to regular activities.
Dr Bansal also specializes in advanced procedures such as gastrointestinal surgery, liver surgery and GI cancer surgery.
