FAQ's

The minimally invasive surgical procedure known as a Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy involves the removal of the gallbladder, the small, hollow organ that stores bile in your digestive tract.  Numerous gallbladder disorders are treated by Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. Little incisions are made in the abdomen, and a camera and specialised instruments are used to assist with the surgery.
 

You may need a Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy if you have:

  • Gallstones causing pain or infections

  • Inflammation of the gallbladder (cholecystitis)

  • Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas)

  • Gallbladder polyps or tumours

  • Biliary dyskinesia (abnormal gallbladder function)

Yes, there is a little chance of complications and it is often a safe and common surgery. Before the surgery, your surgeon will talk to you about any possible risks.

To prepare for the surgery:

  • Don't eat anything the night before your surgery. A sip of water may be consumed along with your medications, but at least four hours before surgery, abstain from any food and liquids.

  • Make sure to let your doctor know about any current vitamins or medications you are taking.

  • Most people are discharged on the same day after the surgery. However, complications might occur that require an overnight stay or longer in the hospital. Bring personal items in case you need to stay overnight.

  • Arrange for someone to drive you home after the surgery, as you will not be able to drive yourself.

During the procedure:

  • You will be given general anaesthesia to ensure you are asleep and pain-free.

  • The surgeon will create several small incisions in your abdominal area.

  • A small tube is then inserted into one of these smaller incisions to introduce carbon dioxide gas, which inflates your abdomen and creates space between your abdominal walls and organs.

  • Next, a laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera) is inserted through the larger incision. This laparoscope projects images onto a video monitor positioned above the operating table, providing the surgical team with a clear view of the operative site. 

  • Using these visual cues, narrow surgical instruments are inserted through the remaining incisions to carefully remove your gallbladder.

  • Once the gallbladder is successfully extracted, the gas used to inflate your abdomen is released, and the incisions are closed with stitches.

The average time for a Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is 1 to 2 hours, though this can vary based on the specifics of each case.
 

After Cholecystectomy surgery, you can expect the following:

  • You will be taken to a recovery room where you will be closely monitored as you wake up from anaesthesia

  • You might feel some discomfort or pain at the sites of the incisions. Pain medications will be provided to help manage any discomfort.

  • Your vital signs, such as blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen levels, will be monitored regularly to ensure there are no complications.

  • You will start with clear liquids and gradually advance to solid foods as tolerated. Specific dietary guidelines will be provided by your healthcare provider.

  • You will be encouraged to get up and move around as soon as possible to prevent complications such as blood clots. However, you should avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activity for a few weeks.

  • You will be instructed on how to care for your incisions, including keeping them clean and dry.

  • Schedule a follow-up appointment with your healthcare provider to monitor your recovery and discuss any concerns or questions you may have.

Most people can resume normal activities within a few days to a week after surgery, but it's essential to listen to your body and avoid overexertion. The timing of your return to work will depend on the type of job you have and how quickly you recover. Your healthcare team will guide you when it is safe to return to work.
 

Benefits of this minimally invasive procedure include:

  • Smaller incisions and less scarring

  • Reduced pain and shorter recovery time compared to open surgery

  • Lower risk of infection

Although the process is usually safe, there are some possible risks:

  • Infection at the incision sites

  • Bleeding

  • Blood clots

  • Bile leakage

  • Injury to nearby organs

Your surgeon will discuss these risks with you and take steps to minimise them.
 

Yes, you might need to adjust your diet following a Cholecystectomy to improve your digestion and prevent pain. Your body may have trouble digesting fatty meals if you don't have a functioning gallbladder, as it is involved in the breakdown of fats. The following are some common dietary guidelines:

To assist your body adjust to the removal of the gallbladder—which stores and releases bile to facilitate the digestion of fat—you might initially need to stick to a low-fat diet. Avoiding foods heavy in fat can help avoid symptoms like diarrhoea or pain in the abdomen.

After surgery, limit your diet to simple, easily digested foods such as soups and clear liquids. Introduce solid foods gradually, focusing on healthful grains, fruits, veggies, lean proteins, and vegetables.

Steer clear of dairy products, coffee, fried or oily foods, spicy foods, and items that cause gas, such as cabbage and beans. 
Eat smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day to prevent harming your digestive system and reduce the chance of discomfort.
 

Yes, in most cases, your body can function normally after gallbladder removal. The gallbladder is not essential for survival, and most people can adapt to its absence without major long-term effects. However, some individuals may experience changes in digestion, particularly in the processing of fats, which may require dietary adjustments.
