Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Surgery Hospital in Broadway

A Cholecystectomy is the surgical removal of your diseased gallbladder. The small, hollow organ known as the gallbladder holds bile for your digestive system. Complete removal of the gallbladder is a common treatment for most gallbladder problems. This is because having your gallbladder removed typically has fewer drawbacks than the illnesses it cures. Without a gallbladder, it is possible to lead a healthy life. Each year, thousands of people undergo successful Cholecystectomies, the majority of which go well and have no after-effects. Recovery from surgery is now simpler than ever due to less invasive surgical methods. It is still advised by medical professionals as an elective surgery to address chronic gallbladder conditions like gallstones. The risk to your health from these conditions is far greater than that from gallbladder removal.

FAQ's

A Cholecystectomy may be advised by your medical team if you have:

  • Cholelithiasis (gallstones in the gallbladder that are generating symptoms)

  • Choledocholithiasis (gallstones in the bile duct)

  • Cholecystitis (an inflammation of the gallbladder)

  • Large polyps in the gallbladder that have the potential to become malignant.

  • Gallstones cause pancreatitis, an inflammation of the pancreas.

  • Gallbladder cancer

Even though pain is an unpleasant symptom experienced in all surgical procedures, its perception changes from patient to patient. Patients who have already undergone traditional open surgeries can feel that the pain experienced after laparoscopic procedures is significantly less. Generally, post-operative pain in patients who have never undergone surgery before can be effectively treated with common pain medications.
 

Healthcare providers will explain the nature of the condition and recommend the procedure, giving patients time to decide when to have it. The healthcare team will ensure the patient is fit for surgery through blood tests and health screenings. They will ask for informed consent and inform patients about the procedure's open or laparoscopic plan, which may change. If possible, patients can plan ahead by not smoking, eating, or taking certain medications to prevent complications and make the surgery safer.
 

  • General anaesthesia is used during a Cholecystectomy. The administration of anaesthesia medications occurs through an arm vein. Your medical team will insert a tube down your neck to assist with breathing once the medications start to take action.

  • A Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy involves a few tiny abdominal incisions made by the physician.

  • A tube with a tiny video camera is put into your abdomen through one of the incisions.

  • Using instruments put through the other incisions, your surgeon removes your gallbladder while keeping an eye on a video monitor in the operating room.

  • Your surgeon may use an imaging test if they are concerned about gallstones or other issues in your bile duct. An ultrasound or X-ray may be part of this.

  • After that, your wounds are sealed, and you're sent to a recovery room.

Typically, a Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy takes between sixty and ninety minutes. If your surgeon needs to perform extra steps to treat your disease, the surgery may take longer. To look for gallstones or other problems in your bile ducts, for instance, they might occasionally add a bile duct exploration. They can address these problems simultaneously during the surgical procedure.
 

You will need to spend a few hours in a recovery room following surgery so that the effects of anaesthesia wear off. You will be given painkillers as needed. It's possible that you could return home the same day if you had a Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.
 

For several reasons, medical professionals advise you to modify your diet while you're healing. The first is that your digestive system may be impacted by surgery and general anaesthesia. Your digestive system will alter as a result of gallbladder removal, which is the second cause. It will take some time for your system to adjust because it won't be receiving the necessary bile in the same manner as it did previously.

Medical professionals advise you to start with a basic, bland diet. The side effects of anaesthesia and surgery can make it difficult for you to digest high-fibre foods. You can experience some short-term problems with fat digestion as a result of the biliary system modifications. You can gradually transition back to a more regular, healthy diet with the guidance of your healthcare expert.
 

A Cholecystectomy has a risk of the following complications:

  • Bleeding

  • Bile leak

  • Infection

  • Diarrhoea

  • Constipation

  • Harm to the liver, small intestine, and bile duct, among other neighbouring tissues.

  • Risks associated with general anaesthesia include pneumonia and blood clots.

The cause of your Cholecystectomy and your general health will determine your risk of problems. 
 

All international surgical associations currently recognise Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy as the "gold standard" for the surgical management of gallstone disease.
 

The majority of gallstones form within your gallbladder; by getting rid of them, you can drastically lower your risk of developing any more. Gallstones, if formed once, may arise again. The only treatment that can consistently stop this is Cholecystectomy. The majority of people believe that having planned surgery is simpler than experiencing recurrent occurrences of gallstone problems.
 

A few weeks following your operation, your healthcare professional will schedule a follow-up appointment with you to assess your progress. However, if you start exhibiting any of the following symptoms, you may need to contact our doctor immediately:

  • Excessive fever (any temperature higher than 38 °C or 101 °F).

  • Excessive pain

  • Swelling

  • Skin discolouration

  • Drainage that comes from the wound

  • Vomiting and nausea for a long time

  • Jaundice

  • Light-coloured excrement (stool) or dark-coloured urine.
