Open Cholecystectomy is a traditional surgical procedure used to remove the gallbladder through a larger incision, often performed when laparoscopic surgery is not feasible or for complex cases. This surgery is commonly used for patients with large or complicated gallstones, or when there are concerns about injury to surrounding structures.

During the procedure, the surgeon removes the gallbladder and any stones, taking extra care to avoid damage to the bile ducts and other abdominal organs.

Postoperative care involves managing pain, preventing infection, and helping the patient gradually return to a normal diet. Recovery times are typically longer than with laparoscopic surgery, and patients may need to stay in the hospital for a few days.

Open cholecystectomy remains an important option for patients with complex gallbladder conditions, providing a safe and effective solution when laparoscopic methods are not appropriate.
