About Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

A Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed by a Surgical Gastroenterologist to remove a diseased gallbladder. Often called 'keyhole surgery,' it involves making several small incisions in the abdomen through which a laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera) and specialized surgical instruments are inserted. The surgeon views a magnified image of the internal organs on a monitor to carefully detach and remove the gallbladder. This advanced technique is the gold-standard treatment for symptomatic gallstones and gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis). Compared to traditional open surgery, it offers significant benefits including less post-operative pain, minimal scarring, a shorter hospital stay, and a faster return to normal activities, making it a highly effective and patient-preferred solution.

Who is this surgery for?

Symptomatic Gallstones (Biliary Colic) causing recurrent pain.
Acute or Chronic Cholecystitis (inflamed gallbladder).
Gallbladder Polyps that are large or show concerning features.
Gallstone Pancreatitis (when gallstones cause pancreas inflammation).
Porcelain Gallbladder (calcified gallbladder wall, a risk factor for cancer).
Biliary Dyskinesia (a poorly functioning gallbladder without stones).

How to prepare

Complete pre-operative blood tests, imaging (like an ultrasound), and cardiac evaluation if needed.
Fasting for 6-8 hours before surgery (no food or drink).
Disclosure of all current medications, especially blood thinners, which may need to be paused.
Discussion of anesthesia options and any allergies with the anesthesiologist.
Arranging for transportation home and support during the initial recovery period.
Showering with an antiseptic soap the night before or morning of surgery.

Risks & possible complications

General anesthesia risks (reaction to medication, breathing difficulties).
Bleeding, infection, or bruising at the incision sites.
Injury to nearby structures like the bile duct, intestines, or blood vessels (rare but serious).
Bile leakage after gallbladder removal.
Retained common bile duct stones.
Rare conversion to an open surgical procedure if anatomy is unclear or complications arise.
Post-cholecystectomy syndrome (persistent digestive symptoms in a small percentage of patients).

Recovery & hospital stay

Hospital discharge usually occurs within 24-48 hours after surgery.
Manage mild pain with prescribed medications; shoulder tip pain from gas is common and temporary.
Keep incision sites clean and dry; watch for signs of infection (redness, swelling, discharge).
Start with a light, low-fat diet and gradually return to normal eating as tolerated.
Avoid heavy lifting (more than 10-15 lbs) and strenuous exercise for 2-4 weeks.
Most patients can return to desk work within a week and resume full activities in 2-3 weeks.
Follow-up with your Surgical Gastroenterologist as scheduled to monitor healing.

Typical hospital stay: 1-2 days
Expected recovery time: 2-3 weeks
