Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is a minimally invasive surgery to remove the gallbladder, commonly performed for conditions like gallstones or gallbladder inflammation. Small incisions are made, and a camera is used to guide the surgeon during the procedure.
The gallbladder is carefully removed through the incisions, and the procedure is usually performed on an outpatient basis, allowing for a quicker recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
Postoperative care includes managing pain, avoiding fatty foods, and ensuring a smooth recovery. Most patients are able to return to normal activities within a few days.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is considered the gold standard for gallbladder removal due to its minimally invasive nature, faster recovery, and reduced risk of complications.
