Day care laparoscopic cholecystectomy

The gallbladder is removed using laparoscopic procedures during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Small incisions of up to half an inch are made during a laparoscopic procedure, and plastic tubes called ports are inserted through these incisions. The laparoscope is then introduced through the opening that allows access to the internal of the patient. A television monitor receives a view of the organs inside the abdomen from the camera. Your surgeon will then be able to see your gallbladder on a video screen and do the surgery using tools placed through other small incisions in your right upper abdomen. Your gallbladder is then taken out through one of the incisions.
Gallbladder:
The gallbladder is a pear-shaped organ located on the upper right side of your belly, just below your liver. Bile, a digestive fluid produced by your liver, is collected and stored in your gallbladder.

Reason for performing cholecystectomy:
A cholecystectomy is most generally conducted to treat gallstones and the complications they cause. If you have the following symptoms, your doctor may propose a cholecystectomy:
  • Gallstones in the gallbladder (cholelithiasis)
  • Gallstones in the bile duct (choledocholithiasis)
  • Gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis)
  • Pancreas inflammation (pancreatitis) due to gallstones.
What are gallstones?
Gallstones aren’t really stones at all. In the gallbladder, these are solid components that form. Two main kinds of gallstones are
  • Cholesterol stones are a type of cholesterol stone. It comes in a variety of colours, including yellow-green, and may accept up to 80% of gallstones.
  • Pigment stones - It has a deeper hue and is very little. Bilirubin is a pigment derived from bile, a liquid produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder
There are two ways to perform a cholecystectomy. The open cholecystectomy and the laparoscopic cholecystectomy are the two options. An open cholecystectomy necessitates a much larger incision, whereas a laparoscopic cholecystectomy necessitates a much smaller incision, allowing for a faster recovery.
