Dr. Kishan A V – Specialist in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy, Bengaluru

What is Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy?

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is a minimally invasive surgery to remove the gallbladder, usually performed to treat gallstones and related complications. Since the gallbladder is not essential for digestion, its removal does not affect normal life. This procedure is one of the most common laparoscopic surgeries performed worldwide.

How is the Procedure Performed?

The surgeon makes a few small incisions in the abdomen and inserts a laparoscope (a tiny camera) to view the gallbladder. Specialized surgical instruments are used to carefully remove the gallbladder. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and patients can usually return home the same or next day.

Who Should Opt for Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy?

Patients with symptomatic gallstones, repeated gallbladder infections (cholecystitis), gallstone pancreatitis, or bile duct obstruction are suitable candidates for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. It is recommended when symptoms interfere with quality of life or cause complications.

Benefits of Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

• Minimally invasive with small incisions and less scarring.
• Less post-operative pain compared to open surgery.
• Faster recovery and shorter hospital stay.
• Quick return to normal activities.
• Safe and highly effective treatment for gallbladder diseases.

Why Choose Laparoscopic Over Open Surgery?

Unlike open cholecystectomy, which requires a large incision and longer recovery, laparoscopic surgery offers quicker healing, minimal discomfort, and lower risk of infection. Most patients resume daily activities within a few days after the procedure.
