Laparoscopic Surgery for Gallbladder Stones by Dr. Uday Ravi
Gallbladder stones, also known as gallstones, are hardened deposits that form in the gallbladder, a small organ beneath the liver that aids in digestion. They can cause severe discomfort, including pain in the upper abdomen, nausea, vomiting, and even jaundice in severe cases. For patients experiencing significant symptoms or complications, laparoscopic surgery is a highly effective treatment option.
What is Laparoscopic Surgery?
Laparoscopic surgery, also called minimally invasive surgery, is a modern surgical technique used to remove the gallbladder and its stones. Unlike traditional open surgery, it requires only small incisions in the abdomen. This approach offers several advantages, including reduced pain, faster recovery, and minimal scarring.
Procedure Details
The surgery involves the insertion of a thin tube equipped with a camera (laparoscope) through a small incision. The camera provides a high-definition view of the gallbladder on a monitor, enabling the surgeon to perform the operation with precision. Additional instruments are inserted through other tiny incisions to remove the gallbladder and the stones. The entire procedure typically takes 1-2 hours and is performed under general anesthesia.
Benefits of Laparoscopic Surgery for Gallstones
Shorter Recovery Time: Most patients can return to normal activities within a week.
Minimal Scarring: The small incisions leave less noticeable marks.
Lower Risk of Infection: Smaller incisions reduce the chance of infection.
Less Postoperative Pain: Patients experience significantly less discomfort compared to open surgery.
