Gall Bladder Surgery

GALLBLADDER REMOVAL - LAPAROSCOPIC

(Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy)

Laparoscopic gallbladder elimination is surgical procedure to cast off the gallbladder through the usage of a medical machine referred to as a laparoscope.

Description

Surgery through the usage of a laparoscope is the most common way to remove the gallbladder. A laparoscope is a thin, lighted tube that lets the health practitioner see inside one’s belly.

Gallbladder removal surgical operation is executed whilst the patient is under anesthesia so the patient will be asleep and pain-free.

The operation is executed the following way:

The surgeon makes three to four small cuts in patient’s belly.

The laparoscope is inserted via one of the cuts.

Other clinical contraptions are inserted through the other cuts.

Gas is pumped into patient’s belly to expand the space. This gives the surgeon extra room to see and work.

The gallbladder is then eliminated using laparoscope and other instruments.

An x-ray known as a cholangiogram may also be done during patient’s surgery. To do this test, a dye is injected into patient’s bile duct and an x-ray is done. The dye helps find stones that may be in patient’s gallbladder.

Sometimes the health care professional can't safely take out the gallbladder though the use of a laparoscope. In this case, the doctor will use open surgery, in which a larger cut is made.

Why the Procedure is Performed

Patient might also want this surgery if the patient has ache or different signs from gallstones. Patient may additionally also need it if patient’s gallbladder is not working normally.

Common symptoms can also include:

Indigestion, which includes bloating, heartburn, and gas

Pain after eating, usually in the top right or higher middle place of Patient’s belly (epigastric pain)
