Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy to Treat Gallstone in Malleshwaram

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy - removing the gallbladder to treat gallstones
Your gallbladder will need to be removed if the gallstones in it cause complications. The presence of gallstones is called cholelithiasis. Doctors may also recommend this type of surgery if you have  - biliary dyskinesia, which occurs when the gallbladder doesn’t empty bile correctly due to a defect; pancreatitis or the inflammation of the pancreas is related to gallstones; cholecystitis or bladder inflammation; or choledocholithiasis which occurs when gallstones move to the common bile duct and block it, preventing the gallbladder and rest of the biliary tree from draining.

Solutions in laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Your doctor will perform a complete physical examination and review your medical history before performing this procedure. This will also help minimize or prevent any risks. Through keyhole incisions in your lower abdomen, your doctor will insert the laparoscope and first locate the damaged gallbladder. With another tool inserted in another incision near the first one, he’ll cut the gallbladder away and remove it through the incision. The incisions will be stitched up with dissolvable sutures. You can go home the next day.
