| Incision | The abdomen is often cut with four tiny incisions, sometimes known as keyhole incisions. This is where the surgical tools enter the body. |
| Trocar insertion | Trocars or hollow tubes are implanted through incisions. They provide access for a laparoscope and other surgical instruments to be introduced. |

| Insufflation | Carbon dioxide gas is pumped into the abdomen to improve sight and give the surgeon greater room to work. |
| Identification, Artery, and Cystic Duct Clipping: | The surgeon locates the gallbladder’s supply pathways, the arteries, and cystic ducts, and then cuts or clips them to separate the gallbladder from the liver. |
| Extraction: | The gallbladder is removed through one of the small incisions. Sometimes one of the incisions must be made larger to allow the extraction. |
| Closure | A sterile dressing is applied, and the wounds are stitched up with stitches or staples |
