What is Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy?

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.

Why is Gallbladder Removal Necessary?

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.

Indications for Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery

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.

The Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Procedure

At MedEase, we follow international surgical standards to ensure safety and optimal outcomes.

Step-by-Step Overview:

  1. Pre-operative Assessment

    • Blood tests, imaging (ultrasound/CT scan), and physical examination.

    • Fasting is required 6–8 hours before surgery.

  2. Anesthesia

    • The procedure is performed under general anesthesia.

  3. Surgical Steps

    • 3–4 small incisions are made in the abdomen.

    • A laparoscope is inserted to visualize the gallbladder.

    • Surgical instruments are used to detach the gallbladder from the liver.

    • The gallbladder is removed through one of the incisions.

  4. Closure and Recovery

    • Incisions are closed with sutures or surgical glue.

    • Most patients can walk within a few hours post-surgery.

Risks and Complications
