Gall Bladder (Laparoscopic)

Gallbladder Laparoscopic Surgery in Bangalore

Gallbladder laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove the gallbladder. The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ on the right side of the abdomen, just below the liver. It stores bile produced by the liver, which helps the body digest fats. During the procedure, several small incisions are made in the abdomen. A laparoscope, a thin, lighted tube, is inserted into one of the incisions. The laparoscope is connected to a video monitor outside the body so the doctor can view the abdomen. Tiny surgical instruments are then inserted through the other incisions and used to separate the gallbladder from the liver and other nearby organs. The gallbladder is then removed through one of the incisions.

Procedure

  • The gall bladder surgeon in varthur road makes four small incisions in the abdominal wall during the laparoscopic gallbladder removal procedure. The surgeon then inserts a laparoscope (a thin, lighted tube) through one of the incisions and examines the gallbladder, bile ducts, and other abdominal organs.

  • The laparoscope is connected to a video monitor, which provides the surgeon with a magnified view of the abdominal organs. The surgeon then inserts instruments through the other tiny incisions and separates the gallbladder from the liver, bile ducts, and other surrounding structures. The gallbladder is then removed through one of the incisions with the help of a small suction device.

  • Once the gallbladder has been removed, the surgeon inspects the abdominal cavity for any remaining gallstones. In some cases, a small tube (called a T-tube) may be inserted into the common bile duct to aid in the passage of bile into the small intestine. The procedure is usually done under general anaesthesia and takes approximately 30-90 minutes to complete.
