Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Treatment in Yeshwanthpur

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy treatment in Yeshwanthpur is a gallbladder removal operation. The surgeon makes a few small incisions on the right side of your abdomen (belly). A laparoscope, a narrow tube with a camera on its end, is inserted through one incision by the surgeon. A screen displays your gallbladder. The gallbladder is subsequently removed via another tiny incision. An open cholecystectomy is more intrusive than a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and the available cholecystectomy method of gallbladder removal requires a larger incision.

Why is the procedure performed?

The gallbladder is the size and shape of a little pear. It holds bile, a chemical produced by the liver, and it stores bile until the body requires it to digest fatty foods. A laparoscopic cholecystectomy treats gallstones that cause pain and infection.

Gallstones are crystallised substances that form in the gallbladder. They can obstruct the flow of bile from the gallbladder into the digestive tract, and this blockage causes cholecystitis. Gallstones can also spread to other places of the body and cause complications.

Symptoms of Gallstone

Gallstone symptoms include,

  • Feeling bloated.

  • Fever.

  • Jaundice (yellow-looking skin).

  • Nausea.

  • Pain in the right side of the abdomen may extend to the back or shoulder.

Procedure

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgical procedure takes around an hour or two to do. A few small incisions are made in the abdomen by the surgeon. Thin, hollow tubes are then inserted into the incisions by the surgeon to start the surgical procedure. After that, the surgical team will insert a laparoscope and other surgical equipment into the tubes.

The team may inject carbon dioxide into the patient's stomach. This procedure inflates the surgical region, making it easier to view within. The surgeon will also use special instruments to separate the gallbladder from the rest of the body and remove it. The incisions will subsequently be closed with stitches, surgical clamps, or surgical glue after the procedure is done.

If there are any difficulties during the laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the surgeon may opt for an open cholecystectomy instead, and this treatment necessitates a larger incision. The doctor or surgeon will decide whether an open or laparoscopic cholecystectomy is appropriate for the patient. 

The laparoscopic method has a number of advantages,

  • Less pain

  • Reduced risk of complications

  • Faster recovery and return to normal activities

  • Scars and wounds are minor.

After procedure

If there are no difficulties, patients should be able to go home the same day as the laparoscopic cholecystectomy. They may need to remain in the hospital for a day or two if the doctor opts to have an open cholecystectomy.

The patient should be capable of driving and eating normally in a day or two if there are no other issues. Patients are advised not to lift anything heavier. If patients follow the advice of the doctor, they should be able to return to work and other normal activities in approximately a week. Patients may need to wait for a week or two before engaging in any physical or sexual activity. Consult at Manipal Hospitals to get detailed infromation regarding the treatment.
