Laparoscopic cholecystectomy refers to the removal of the gallbladder guided by a laparoscope. It is also known as keyhole surgery or minimally invasive surgery. Surgery is done under general anaesthesia, and the surgeon makes several small incisions. The laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera at the end) will be inserted through one of the small incisions for proper visualisation. Guided by the camera images on the screen, the gallbladder will be removed by the tiny surgical instruments inserted through the other incisions.

2. Is Gallbladder removal surgery quite easy for a patient?

Yes, gall bladder removal surgery is a common procedure known as cholecystectomy. The surgery is generally considered to be of low risk and is associated with fewer complications if patients strictly adhere to the post-operative instructions.

3. Is laparoscopic gall bladder stone operation painful?

Laparoscopic gall bladder stone operation is generally associated with very mild pain compared to that of open surgery. The pain is usually experienced after the surgery at the incision sites and sometimes in the abdomen. The abdominal pain can be due to the retention of gas in your belly. This pain/discomfort may last for a few days to a week.

4. How long does it take to recover from gallbladder surgery?

The recovery period for most people after laparoscopic surgery may be several weeks, on an average of about 6 weeks. Everyday activities can be resumed in a week or two. However, complete recovery requires more time. Recovery from an open surgery takes still more time. On average, it requires about 6-8 weeks for complete recovery.

5. What are the complications of laparoscopic cholecystectomy?

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is generally associated with a low risk of complications. Some possible complications are infections, bile leakage, injury to the bile duct and abdominal wall bleeding.

Doctors for Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy in Surat

A cholecystectomy is the most commonly performed surgery to remove the gallbladder when it is affected by the gallstones (Cholelithiasis) and the associated complications. Cholecystectomy is also suggested when there are gallstones in the bile duct (choledocholithiasis), in case of gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis) and large gallbladder polyps.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy and open cholecystectomy are the two different surgical approaches opted for the surgery depending on the condition. Cholecystectomy is performed using general anaesthesia, and is associated with a low risk of complications. It is a relatively safe procedure though there are some possible complications such as infections, bile leakage, damage to the bile duct, etc. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a minimally invasive surgery which takes around 1-2 hrs if not associated with any complications.

People are often able to go home on the same day as their surgery, though sometimes a one-night stay at the hospital is required. The normal activities can be resumed in a week or two, though the complete recovery still needs more time. The cost of Gallbladder laparoscopic surgery can range anywhere between INR 40,000- INR 1,25,000. In the case of open cholecystectomy, a larger incision may be used, and the person has to spend two or three days in the hospital for recovery. After discharge from the hospital, complete recovery takes more time on an average of about 6-8 weeks.
