Cholecystectomy is the surgical removal of the gallbladder. A gall bladder is a pear
shaped organ located just on the upper right side of the stomach just
below the liver. The digestive fluid called bile, which is produced
by the liver is collected and stored by the gall bladder.
Cholecystectomy
is performed when there is a pain and block of flow of bile in the
gall bladder. It is a very common surgical procedure which carries
only a small risk of complications.
Cholecystectomy is
most commonly performed by minimally invasive techniques. The
following are the steps of laparoscopic cholecystectomy:
- First the surgeon gives general anesthesia to the patient
- Then the surgeon makes four incisions around the umbilicus
- The surgeon then inserts four small narrow tubes through the incisions for the laparoscopic camera and instruments.
- The laparoscopic camera which is inserted through the small belly port provides the surgeon a magnified view of internal organs on a monitor.
- The surgeon then inserts long specially designed instruments through the other three ports helps the surgeon to seperate the gall bladder from its attachments to the bile duct and the liver.
- Finally, the surgeon removes the gall bladder through one of the ports from the abdomen and closes the incisions
