Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a procedure performed when gallstones are present in your gallbladder. The gallbladder, located beneath your liver, stores bile produced by the liver, which aids in digesting fats in the food you eat. Gallstones can obstruct the flow of bile through your digestive system, causing swelling, nausea, vomiting, and pain in the abdomen, shoulder, back, or chest. These stones can also block the bile ducts that carry bile from the liver or gallbladder to the intestines, leading to infections, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), or even pancreatic issues.

A cholecystectomy (koh-luh-sister TEK-tuh-me) is a surgery to remove the gallbladder. This pear-shaped organ plays a crucial role in bile storage and digestion. The surgery is common and carries a low risk of complications, with many patients able to return home the same day.

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

In most cases, a laparoscopic cholecystectomy is performed by making four small incisions, through which a camera and specialized instruments are inserted to view and remove the gallbladder. This minimally invasive approach provides quicker recovery and less scarring. At Health Hub, this procedure is performed by an expert surgeon, Dr. Daood Ayub.

In some cases, an open cholecystectomy may be necessary, where a larger incision is made to remove the gallbladder.
