Laparoscopic gallbladder removal, also known as Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which the gallbladder is removed from the patient’s body. The gallbladder is a small organ located below the liver that stores bile produced by the liver. During the procedure, small incisions are made in the abdomen, and a laparoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera) and surgical instruments are inserted to perform the removal.
Laparoscopic gallbladder removal may be recommended by your surgeon to treat conditions like gallstones and gallbladder inflammation (Cholecystitis).
The recovery process after a Laparoscopic Gall Bladder Removal is generally faster and less painful compared to traditional open surgery. Patients may stay in the hospital for a day or go home the same day. They may experience some discomfort at the incision sites, which usually resolves within a few days. Full recovery typically takes about 1 to 2 weeks, during which patients are advised to rest, avoid heavy lifting, and follow their surgeon's post-operative instructions. Most patients can resume normal activities and return to work within a couple of weeks after the procedure.
