Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a minimally invasive surgery used to remove the gallbladder, usually due to gallstones or gallbladder disease. The gallbladder is a small organ that helps in digestion by storing bile, but it is not essential for survival.
In this procedure, the surgeon uses small incisions and a camera (laparoscope) to remove the gallbladder safely. Compared to traditional open surgery, this method causes less pain, faster recovery, and smaller scars.
This surgery is mainly done to treat gallstones and related complications. It offers several benefits:
• Removes gallstones permanently: Prevents repeated pain and complications.
• Minimally invasive: Small cuts instead of a large incision.
• Faster recovery: Patients return to normal activities quickly.
• Less pain and scarring: Smaller wounds heal faster and leave minimal scars.
• Short hospital stays: Often discharged within 1 day.
This procedure may be recommended for people who:
• Have gallstones causing pain or infection.
• Experience abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting after meals.
• Have complications like gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis).
• Have recurrent gallstone attacks affecting daily life.
1. Anesthesia
General anesthesia is given so the patient is asleep and feels no pain during the surgery.
2. Small Incisions
The surgeon makes 3–4 small cuts in the abdomen to insert surgical tools and a camera.
3. Gallbladder Removal
The gallbladder is carefully separated and removed using laparoscopic instruments.
4. Closure
The small incisions are closed with stitches or surgical glue. Recovery begins immediately.
The procedure usually takes 1–2 hours, depending on the patient’s condition.
It is performed in a hospital by a qualified laparoscopic or general surgeon. Most patients are discharged within 24 hours.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is generally safe, but some risks may occur.

Possible Risks (Rare)
