Gallbladder-Cancer

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Open Cholecystectomy

A gallbladder stone surgeon in Ahmedabad performs cholecystectomy, a procedure to remove the gallbladder due to gallstones causing pain or infection. Gallstones are hard deposits of bile components that can block bile flow, leading to severe pain, inflammation, or infection. In many cases, removing the gallbladder is the most effective solution to prevent recurrent gallstone problems and potential complications. Laparoscopic gallbladder surgery is the preferred technique due to its faster recovery time and minimal scarring.

Types of Gallbladder Stone Surgery

There are two main types of gallbladder stone surgery:

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

This is the most common and minimally invasive method. It involves making several small incisions through which a laparoscope (a tiny camera) and surgical instruments are inserted. The surgeon views the inside of the abdomen on a monitor and removes the gallbladder through these small incisions. This method typically results in less pain, quicker recovery, and minimal scarring.

Open Cholecystectomy

This traditional method involves making a larger incision in the abdomen to remove the gallbladder. It may be necessary if the gallbladder is severely inflamed, or infected, or some complications make laparoscopic surgery unsafe. Recovery time is longer, and there may be more postoperative pain and scarring compared to the laparoscopic approach.

Preoperative Assessment

Detailed evaluation including examination, imaging, and fitness assessment to determine the safest surgical approach.

Medication Adjustments

Blood thinners and certain medications may be paused or adjusted to minimize bleeding and anesthesia-related risks.
