Procedure:
Anesthesia: | General anesthesia is administered to ensure that the patient remains asleep and pain-free during the surgery. |
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. |
Insertion of the Laparoscope | One of the trocars is used to insert the laparoscopic surgery, which is a thin tube with a camera and light. It allows the surgeon to observe the gallbladder and its surrounding components on a monitor. |
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 |
