What is Gallbladder Stones Surgery?
A cholecystectomy is a procedure that removes the gallbladder. The gallbladder is a pear-shaped organ located directly below the liver on the upper right side of the belly. The gallbladder collects and stores bile, a digestive fluid produced by the liver.
Gallbladder disease:
| Blocked bile ducts | Pancreatitis | Inflamed gallbladder |
Signs of Gallbladder disease:
- Jaundice (a yellow tint to your skin and eyes).
- Swollen abdomen that’s tender to the touch.
- Large gallbladder polyps were discovered on ultrasound.
- pain in the abdomen, jaundice, and fever due to the pain, a person going from the infection also gets infected by the stones in the gallbladder.
Types of gallbladder surgery:
- Laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
- Robotic cholecystectomy.
- Open cholecystectomy.
How does it work?
- At the start of the procedure, the medical history of the patient is observed in detail, then the person has to over go from some tests to check the overall health of the person.
- Incisions are then made on the abdomen of the person and with the help of instruments, the veins are arteries are isolated to have a safe and comfortable surgery.
- Then the stones from the bile duct are removed as the person is still unconscious. After that, the incisions are closed carefully to prevent bleeding, to have the best results, and to protect. They should follow the post-operative measures and clean their wounds gently with warm water and a clean cloth.

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 |
Post-Op Care Instructions
- Diet: Start with clear liquids, progress to low-fat foods
- Activity: Light walking encouraged, avoid strenuous exercise
- Wound Care: Keep incisions clean and dry
- Follow-Up: Attend all post-op appointments

FAQs:
What is the healing time from gallbladder surgery?
Most patients recover within 1 to 2 weeks after laparoscopic surgery, but open surgery might take 4 to 6 weeks.
What are the dangers associated with gallbladder surgery?
Infection, hemorrhage, organ damage, and bile leakage are all potential risks. However, the dangers are often minor.
Will I have to follow a particular diet following surgery?
Following surgery, a low-fat diet is frequently prescribed to help the body acclimate to the absence of the gallbladder. Most people can eventually return to a regular diet.
Can I survive without a gallbladder?
Yes, the body can function without the gallbladder. The liver continues to create bile, which is immediately delivered into the intestines to help digestion.
Is the surgery scary?
Not at all! They use a camera and tiny tools (keyhole surgery) - you'll just have 2-3 small scars the size of rice grains.
Will I be awake during surgery?
Nope! You'll take a nice nap under general anesthesia and wake up with it all done.
Will my digestion be ruined forever?
Not at all! Your liver still makes bile - you might just need to go easy on fried foods for the first month.
