3. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy:
A cholecystectomy is a surgery to remove the gallbladder. The gallbladder is a pear-shaped organ that sits just below the liver on the upper right side of the abdomen. The gallbladder collects and stores a digestive fluid made in the liver called bile.
Surgery is often done when painful and uncomfortable gallstones are hard pigments that develop in the gallbladder.
Symptoms of gall bladder stones include pain in the upper right side of the abdomen, associated with nausea and vomiting, jaundice, and fever.
Minimally Invasive (Laparoscopic) Cholecystectomy :
The operating surgeon makes four small holes in your abdomen during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. One of the incisions near the umbilicus is used to insert an instrument with a tiny video camera. The surgeon removes the gallbladder while using surgical instruments placed through an additional abdominal wall. The procedure takes an hour or two and is associated with fewer complications and early recovery.
Traditional (Open) Cholecystectomy :
The surgeon makes an open incision in the abdomen on the right side during an open cholecystectomy. The gallbladder is taken out of the abdomen.
