What is Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Surgery?
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the gallbladder using minimally invasive techniques. It is performed through small incisions in the abdomen, where a laparoscope (a thin, lighted tube) and specialized surgical instruments are inserted. This procedure is commonly used to treat gallstones, gallbladder inflammation, and other related issues. Compared to open surgery, laparoscopic cholecystectomy has a shorter recovery period, reduced pain, and minimal scarring. Patients typically go home the same day or within 24 hours after surgery and resume daily activities within a few days.
