Frequently Asked Questions

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a minimally invasive surgery used to remove the gallbladder through small incisions in the abdomen.

This procedure is typically performed to treat gallbladder conditions such as gallstones, gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis), or gallbladder polyps.

The surgeon makes small incisions in the abdomen and inserts a thin tube with a camera called a laparoscope and surgical instruments to remove the gallbladder.

The benefits of laparoscopic cholecystectomy include smaller incisions, reduced pain, shorter hospital stay, quicker recovery, and minimal scarring.

On average, the surgery takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour, but the duration can vary depending on the complexity of the case.

Yes, laparoscopic cholecystectomy is considered a safe procedure with a low risk of complications. But there are potential risks, like any other surgery, such as bleeding, infection, injury to surrounding organs, or bile duct damage.

Most patients can go home on the same day or the following day after surgery. The full recovery period may vary, but patients usually return to normal activities within a week.

Usually, a soft diet is recommended in the evening on the day of surgery, and a normal or regular diet is allowed post two days.

Although rare, complications can occur, such as infection, bile duct injury, bile leak, bleeding, or the development of hernias at the incision sites. Prompt medical attention should be sought if any unusual symptoms or complications arise.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy provides a permanent solution to gallbladder conditions. Once the gallbladder is removed, gallstone-related symptoms and other associated issues are resolved.

Most patients with gallbladder conditions are suitable candidates for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. However, in certain cases where there are complications or previous surgeries, an open-surgery approach may be necessary.

In some cases, medications or nonsurgical procedures can be used to dissolve gallstones. However, laparoscopic cholecystectomy is generally the most effective and definitive treatment for gallbladder conditions.

The incisions made during laparoscopic cholecystectomy are typically small and result in minimal scarring. Over time, the scars tend to fade and become less noticeable.

No, laparoscopic cholecystectomy is usually performed under general anaesthesia to ensure the patient's comfort and safety during the procedure.

Yes, laparoscopic cholecystectomy is one of the most commonly performed surgeries worldwide and has become the gold standard treatment for gallbladder conditions.

Gallbladder removal does not typically lead to any significant long-term health issues. Most people can live a normal and healthy life without a gallbladder.

While laparoscopic cholecystectomy is generally safe, it is usually avoided during pregnancy unless there is a life-threatening condition.

In comparison to open cholecystectomy, Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is cost-effective because of a shorter stay in the hospital.

Preparation typically involves fasting before surgery, stopping certain medications, and following the surgeon's instructions. It is essential to discuss all preoperative requirements with the healthcare team.

Most patients can go home on the same day or the following day after surgery. However, the length of hospital stay can vary based on individual circumstances and the surgeon's recommendation.
