Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the gallbladder using small incisions and a laparoscope—a thin, flexible tube with a camera. It is the most common and preferred method for treating gallstones, gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis), and biliary dyskinesia.
Unlike traditional open surgery, laparoscopic cholecystectomy involves:
Smaller incisions (typically 0.5 to 1 cm)
Minimal scarring
Reduced post-operative pain
Faster recovery and hospital discharge
This surgery is considered highly safe and effective and is typically performed as a daycare surgery at MedEase.
The gallbladder is a small organ located below the liver that stores bile, which helps in digestion. However, the gallbladder is not essential for survival, and people can live a normal life without it.
Reasons for gallbladder removal include:
Gallstones (Cholelithiasis): Hardened deposits that cause pain and indigestion.
Cholecystitis: Inflammation of the gallbladder, often due to stones.
Biliary colic: Severe abdominal pain caused by gallstones blocking bile flow.
Pancreatitis: Inflammation of the pancreas due to gallstones.
When left untreated, these conditions can lead to complications like infection, jaundice, or even life-threatening inflammation.
You may be advised laparoscopic gallbladder removal if you experience:
Recurrent right upper abdominal pain
Nausea or vomiting after meals
Digestive issues due to gallstones
Gallbladder polyps or sludge
Acute or chronic cholecystitis
Complications due to gallstones
At MedEase, our experienced surgeons conduct detailed diagnostics (ultrasound, liver function tests, etc.) to confirm the need for surgery.
At MedEase, we follow international surgical standards to ensure safety and optimal outcomes.

Surgical Steps
