Gallbladder Surgery (Cholecystectomy)

What is Gallbladder Surgery (Cholecystectomy)?

Gallbladder Surgery, medically known as Cholecystectomy, is a procedure performed to remove the gallbladder, a small organ located beneath the liver that stores bile. The surgery is most commonly recommended for patients with gallstones causing pain, infection, or blockage of bile flow.

Gallstones can lead to symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, indigestion, and, in some cases, inflammation of the gallbladder (cholecystitis). If left untreated, complications such as bile duct obstruction or pancreatitis may occur. Surgical removal of the gallbladder provides definitive treatment and prevents recurrence of gallstone-related symptoms.

Cholecystectomy is typically performed using a minimally invasive laparoscopic approach, which allows faster recovery, smaller incisions, and reduced postoperative discomfort compared to traditional open surgery.

How is Gallbladder Surgery Performed?

The procedure is carried out in a specialized minimally invasive operating theatre.

Step-by-step process

1. Preoperative Evaluation
Ultrasound and laboratory tests are reviewed to confirm gallbladder disease.

2. Anesthesia Administration
The patient is placed under general anesthesia for comfort and safety.

3. Small Incision Creation
Several small incisions are made in the abdomen for laparoscopic access.

4. Insertion of Laparoscope
A camera is inserted to visualize the gallbladder and surrounding structures.

5. Gallbladder Removal
The gallbladder is carefully detached and removed.

6. Closure and Recovery Monitoring
Incisions are closed and the patient is monitored postoperatively.

This structured approach ensures safe removal while minimizing surgical trauma.
