How It Works
The laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedure is carefully designed to provide a safe, precise, and minimally invasive solution for gallbladder removal. Patients undergo a detailed medical evaluation, including blood tests, an ultrasound, and an anaesthesia assessment. Fasting is required for a few hours before surgery to ensure an empty stomach. The surgical team explains the procedure, expected outcomes, and post-operative care.
During the procedure, the patient is placed under general anaesthesia for a comfortable experience. Positioned carefully on the operating table with vital signs continuously monitored throughout the procedure. Small “keyhole” incisions are made near the abdomen, through which a laparoscope and surgical instruments are inserted. The laparoscope provides magnified, high-definition visuals of the gallbladder and surrounding structures. The surgeon detaches the gallbladder from the liver and bile ducts using precision instruments. The gallbladder is then gently removed through one of the small incisions.
Patients are monitored in a recovery room before discharge, usually for 24 hours. Normal activities can often be resumed within a few days. This keyhole gallbladder surgery in Kolkata, at Manipal Hospitals, is supported by advanced technology and expert surgical care. This ensures minimal risk, faster recovery, and long-term digestive wellness.
