Is gall bladder surgery An Expensive Procedure?

When compared to traditional surgery techniques, laparoscopic surgery is minimally invasive with smaller incisions. It also leads to lesser pain and faster recovery rates where patients are able to enjoy a normal lifestyle with bare minimum changes.

Am I eligible for a Laparoscopic gall bladder surgery?

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the most common type of gallbladder surgery. However, if you have severe gallbladder problems or if you have had previous surgery in your upper abdomen it may not be an option for you.

How are gallstones treated ?

Removal of the gallbladder is usually the best way to treat gall bladder problems. You might get some relief from changing your diet. For example, eating less fat can help. But gallstones rarely go away on their own.

You might have heard about treatments to break up gallstones or make them melt away (dissolve). Unfortunately, these do not usually work well.

What are the advantages of laparoscopic gallbladder surgery?

Smaller incision – Surgery is done by insertion of small ports of 5mm size which cause minimal pain and discomfort.
Less pain than after open surgery.
Quicker recovery than open surgery – You might go home the same day you have your surgery. You can also go back to regular activities more quickly.

Is laparoscopic gallbladder removal for you?

Laparoscopic gallbladder surgery is recommended if you have:

Gallstones
Gallbladder polyps . Gall bladder polyps can lead to cancer

Laparoscopic Gallbladder Removal

You will have general anesthesia for your laparoscopic gallbladder removal. This means you are asleep during surgery. When surgery is finished, the surgeon closes your incisions with tiny stitches, staples, surgical tape or glue. These disappear as you heal, so the doctor does not need to remove them later.

What To expect after gallbladder removal surgery (cholecystectomy)

Post Surgery

You can probably go home the day you have your surgery, or you might stay in the hospital overnight. You need to be able to drink liquids before you go home

You will feel some pain after surgery. Pain at the incision sites and in your abdomen is common. You might also have pain in your shoulders. This is from the air put into your abdomen during the operation. The shoulder pain should go away in 24 to 48 hours.

You should be as active as your body allows. Doctors recommend walking. You can go up and down stairs on the day of your surgery. You can expect to feel a little better each day after going home. If not, please call your doctor. You can probably go back to normal activity about a week after laparoscopic gallbladder removal.
