Gallbladder removal by laparoscopy

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, also known as cholecystectomy, is a minimally invasive surgery in which small incisions and specialized instruments are used to remove an inflamed or diseased gallbladder.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy offers advantages over open cholecystectomy.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy decreases postoperative pain, reduces the need for postoperative analgesia, shortens hospital stay from 1 week to less than 24 hours, and the patient returns to his routine within 1 week compared to 1 month in open cholecystectomy. Among other things, laparoscopic cholecystectomy results in cosmetic improvement of wound scars and improves patient satisfaction compared to open cholecystectomy.
