Laparoscopic gallbladder removal, or cholecystectomy, is a minimally invasive surgery that offers a quick recovery and minimal discomfort compared to traditional methods. This procedure is commonly performed due to gallstone-related complications and typically involves making small incisions in the abdomen.
Advantages of Laparoscopic Surgery
Significantly less post-operative pain
Reduced recovery time
Fewer post-surgery complications
Minimal scarring
Who Needs It?
This procedure is recommended for patients with symptomatic gallstones or gallbladder inflammation who have not responded to other treatments. It’s particularly beneficial for those seeking a faster return to normal activities.
Post-Operative Care
After surgery, patients typically experience mild discomfort and are advised to limit strenuous activities. Most can resume normal activities within a week, with full recovery expected shortly thereafter.
